A pedalboard allows a performer to create a ready-to-use chain of multiple pedals to achieve certain types of sounds. Order:, and.An effects unit or effects pedal is an electronic device that of a or other audio source.Common effects include, often used with electric guitar in and rock music; effects such as and, which affect loudness; such as and, which modify frequency ranges; effects, such as, and; effects such as; and time effects, such as and, which create echoing sounds and emulate the sound of different spaces.Most modern effects use. Some effects, particularly older ones such as and, use mechanical components. Effects are often used as, typically placed on the floor and controlled with footswitches.

They are also built into, designed for DJs and record producers, and, and are widely used as software plugins in such common formats as, and.Musicians, and record producers use effects units during live performances or in the studio, typically with electric guitar, bass guitar,. While effects are most frequently used with electric or instruments, effects can also be used with instruments, drums and vocals. Various type of guitar and bass effect pedals.An effects unit is also called an 'effect box', 'effects device', 'effects processor' or simply 'effects'. In parlance, a signal without effects is 'dry' and an effect-processed signal is 'wet'.
The abbreviation 'F/X' or 'FX' is sometimes used. A pedal-style unit may be called a 'stomp box', 'stompbox', 'effects pedal' or 'pedal'. A musician bringing many pedals to a live show or recording session often mounts the pedals on a, to reduce set-up and tear-down time and, for pedalboards with lids, protect the pedals during transportation. When a musician has multiple effects in a, this case may be called an 'effects rack' or 'rig'. When rackmounted effects are mounted in a roadcase, this also speeds up a musician's set-up and tear-down time, because all of the effects can be connected together inside the rack case and all of the units can be plugged into a powerbar.Formats Effects units are available in a variety of formats or form factors. Stompboxes are used in both live performance and studio recording.
Rackmount devices saw a heavy usage during the later 20th century, due to their advanced processing power and desirable tones. However, by the 21st century, with the advent of digital plugins and more powerful stompboxes for live usage, the need and practicality of rackmount effects units went down, and as such, prices of rack effects have diminished due to lower usage. An effects unit can consist of or or a combination of the two. During a live performance, the effect is plugged into the electrical 'signal' path of the instrument. In the studio, an instrument or another sound source — possibly an of a or a — is patched into the effect.
Whatever the form factor, effects units are part of a studio or musician's. Stompboxes. TS9 overdrive pedalStompboxes are small plastic or metal chassis which usually lie on the floor or in a to be operated by the user's feet. Pedals are often rectangle-shaped, but there are a range of other shapes (e.g., the circle-shaped Fuzz Face).
Typical simple stompboxes have a single footswitch, one to three ('pots' or 'knobs') for controlling the effect, and a single that indicates if the effect is on. A typical distortion or overdrive pedal's three potentiometers, for example, control the level or intensity of the distortion effect, the tone of the effected signal and the volume (level) of the effected signal. Depending on the type of pedal, the potentiometers may control different parameters of the effect.
For a, for example, the knobs may control the depth and speed of the effect. Complex stompboxes may have multiple footswitches, many knobs, additional switches or buttons that are operated with the fingers, and an alphanumeric display that indicates the status of the effect with short acronyms (e.g., DIST for 'distortion').Some pedals have two knobs stacked on top of each other, enabling the unit to provide two knobs per single knob space. Tuner upper right (tc electronic Polytune) ⇒. Wah Pedal lower right (Morley Bad Horsie Wah) ⇒. Overdrives/Distortion lower row (Rocktron Short Timer Delay → Danelectro CTO-1 Transparent Overdrive → Boss HM-2 → Boss MT-2) ⇒. Modulations/Delay upper row (Digitech Hyper Phase → Danelectro CV-1 Vibe → Danelectro CT Tremolo → Digitech Hyper Delay)An 'effects chain' or 'signal chain' is formed by connecting two or more stompboxes. Effect chains are typically created between the guitar and the amp or between the ('preamp') and the power amp.
When a pedal is off or inactive, the electric coming into the pedal diverts onto a, an unaltered 'dry' signal that continues on to other effects down the chain. In this way, a musician can combine effects within a chain in a variety of ways without having to reconnect boxes during a performance.A 'controller' or 'effects management system' lets the musician create multiple effect chains, so they can select one or several chains by tapping a single switch. The switches are usually organized in a row or a simple grid.To preserve the clarity of the tone, it is most common to put, and pedals at the start of the chain; modulation (, ) in the middle; and time-based units (/echo, ) at the end. When using many effects, unwanted noise and hum can be introduced into the sound.
Some performers use a at the end of a chain to reduce unwanted noise and hum introduced by overdrive units or vintage gear. Rackmounts. Rackmounted effects in road cases. These road cases have the front protective panels removed so that the musician can press the buttons on the face of the units to change the effect settings. The protective panels are put back on and latched shut to protect the effects during transportation.effects are typically built in a thin metal chassis with metal 'ears' designed to be screwed into a that is standard to the telecommunication, and industries. Rackmounted effects may be one, two or three rack spaces high. When purchased from the store, rack-mounted equipment is not equipped with the rugged chassis features used on stompboxes and amps that are designed to be transported as standalone units, such as corner protectors.
Rackmounted units are typically mounted in a rack, which is housed in a, a tough plastic case with removable front and rear covers that can be latched on during transportation to protect the knobs and switches and then removed during performances. A rackmount unit may contain identical to a stompbox's, although its circuits are typically more complex. Unlike stompboxes, rackmounts usually have several different types of effects. Of all of the formats, rackmount effects from the 2010s typically have the most advanced alphanumeric text display capacities. The HE3000 Ultra-Harmonizer pictured here displays the entire name of an effect or setting, which helps users to find their preferred settings and effects.Rackmounts are most commonly used in recording studios and 'front of house' situations, though professional musicians who play electric bass, electric guitar, or synthesizers may use them in place of stompboxes, to create a rackmounted head unit for their speaker cabinet(s). Rackmounts are controlled by knobs, switches or buttons on their front panel, and often by a digital control interface. During live performances, a musician can operate rackmounted effects using a 'foot controller'.

By setting up effects in a rack-mounted road case, this speeds up set-up and tear-down, because all of the effects can be connected together with patch cords (which can be left connected permanently) and all of the units can be plugged into a power bar. This means that a musician only needs to plug in the main power bar into power and plug their instrument into the rack, and the last effect unit's output into their and/or the.' Shock mount' racks are designed for musicians who frequently move gear between venues. Shock mounts help to protect electronic devices from bumps during transportation. Devices that are less than 19 inches wide may use special 'ear' adapters to mount on a rack. Multi-effects and tabletop units. Multi-effects like this ME-50 include many effects in one pedal.A multi-effects device (also called a 'multi-FX' device) is a single electronics effects pedal or rackmount device that contains many different electronic effects.
Multi-FX devices allow users to 'preset' combinations of different effects, allowing musicians quick on-stage access to different effects combinations. Multi-effects units typically have a range of distortion, chorus, flanger, phaser and reverb effects. The most expensive multi-effects units may also have looper functions. Pedal-style multieffects range from fairly inexpensive stompboxes that contain two pedals and a few knobs to control the effects to large, expensive floor units with many pedals and knobs.
Rackmounted multieffects units are typically mounted in a rack. Guitarists and bassists may mount their rackmounted multieffects unit in the same rack with their preamplifier and power amplifier.A tabletop unit is a type of multi-effects device that sits on a desk and is controlled manually. One such example is the guitar amplifier modeler. Digital effects designed for DJs are often sold in tabletop models, so that the units can be placed alongside a, turntables and gear.
For a DJ, a pedal located on the floor would not be practical because she/he would find it hard to adjust the knobs.Built-in units. Even in the 2010s, the vintage remains a sought-after amp by guitarists (pictured is a 1968 model). Note the four inputs, two for regular sound and two which are run through the onboard effect unit.Effects are often incorporated into and even some types of instruments. Electric typically have built-in and, while acoustic guitar and tend to only have built-in reverb. Some acoustic instrument amplifiers have reverb, chorus, compression and equalization (bass and treble) effects. Vintage guitar amps (and their 2010-era reissued models) typically have and effects, and sometimes reverb.
The Fender Bandmaster Reverb amp, for example, had built-in reverb and vibrato. Built-in effects may offer the user less control than standalone pedals or rackmounted units. For example, on some lower- to mid-priced, the only control on the effect is a button or switch to turn it on or off, or a single knob. In contrast, a pedal or rackmounted unit would typically provide ratio, threshold and attack knobs and sometimes 'soft knee' or other options to allow the user to control the compression.Since the 2000s, guitar amplifiers began having built-in multi-effects units or digital modeling effects. Bass amplifiers are less likely to have built-in effects, although some may have a / or effect. Bass amps from the 1980s sometimes included built-in.Instruments with built-in effects include,. Built-in effects for keyboard typically include reverb, chorus and, for Hammond organ, vibrato.
Many ' include an overdrive effect. Occasionally, acoustic-electric and electric guitars will have built-in effects, such as a preamp or equalizer. History Studio effects and early stand alone units The earliest sound effects were strictly studio productions. In the mid to late 1940s, and experimental musicians such as began manipulating to create echo effects and unusual, futuristic sounds. Microphone placement ('miking') techniques were used in spaces with specially designed acoustic properties to simulate.
In 1948 released the Trem-Trol, the first commercially available stand-alone effects unit. This device produced a tremolo by passing an instrument's electrical signal through a water-based electrolytic fluid. Most stand-alone effects of the 1950s and early 60s such as the Gibson GA-VI vibrato unit and the Fender reverb box, were expensive and impractical, requiring bulky and high. The original stand-alone units were not especially in-demand as many effects came built into amplifiers. The first popular stand-alone was the 1958 Watkins Copicat, a relatively portable tape echo effect made famous by the British band,. Amplifiers. A Vibrolux Reverb amp and a ROSS ampEffects built into were the first effects that musicians used regularly outside the studio.
From the late 1940s onward, the Guitar Corp. Began including circuits in.
The 1950 Ray Butts EchoSonic amp was the first to feature the 'echo' soundwhich quickly became popular with guitarists such as,. By the 1950s, vibrato and were available as built-in effects on many. Both and Gibson built with spring reverb. Began manufacturing the tremolo amps Tremolux in 1955 and Vibrolux in 1956.was not an effect originally intended by amplifier manufacturers, but could often easily be achieved by 'overdriving' the power supply in early.
In the 1950s, guitarists began deliberately increasing beyond its intended levels to achieve 'warm' distorted sounds. Among the first musicians to experiment with distortion were of, and.In 1954 produced heavily distorted for several recordings (including 's '), creating 'a grittier, nastier, more ferocious electric guitar sound,' accomplished by turning the volume knob on his amplifier 'all the way to the right until the speaker was screaming.' Link Wray's 1958 recording ' inspired young musicians such as of, of, of, and to explore distortion by various means. In 1966, the British company began producing the Marshall 1963, a guitar amplifier capable of producing the distorted 'crunch' that rock musicians were starting to seek. Stompboxes. The Fuzz Face effect pedal.The electronic finally made it possible to cram the aural creativity of the recording studio into small, highly portable stompbox units.
Transistors replaced, allowing for much more compact formats and greater stability. The first transistorized guitar effect was the 1962 Maestro Fuzz Tone pedal, which became a sensation after its use in the 1965 Rolling Stones hit '.Warwick Electronics manufactured the firstThe Clyde McCoy, in 1967 and that same year Jim Morris of Kelsey-Morris Sound developed the first, which Jimi Hendrix named 'Octavio'. In 1968, began marketing Shin-ei's pedal, an effect designed by noted audio engineer Fumio Mieda that mimicked the odd and effects of the used in. The pedals soon became favorite effects of guitarists. Upon first hearing the Octavia, Hendrix allegedly rushed back to the studio and immediately used it to record the guitar solos on ' and '.
In 1976, subsidiary released the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, the first, created by taking a chorus circuit from an and putting it into a. By the mid-1970s a variety of solid-state effects pedals including, chorus pedals, and were available. Several pedals connected together.In the 1980s, digital units began replacing stompboxes as the effects format of choice. Often musicians would record 'dry', unaltered tracks in the studio and effects would be added in post-production. The success of 's 1991 album helped to re-ignite interest in stompboxes.
Some guitarists would chain several fuzz pedals together and plug them into a. Throughout the 1990s, musicians committed to a ' aesthetic such as of, of and of continued to use effects pedals.Effects and effects units—stompboxes in particular—have been celebrated by pop and rock musicians in album titles, songs and band names. The, a manufactured by, is commemorated by the song ' and the., and are among the many musicians who have referenced effects units in their music.
Types Distortion. 'Clipping' an instrument's produces distortionDistortion effects create warm, gritty, and fuzzy sounds by ' an instrument's, which the shape of its and adds. Distortion effects are sometimes called ' effects, as distorted guitar sounds were first achieved by increasing the electric power supply, e.g. Gain, to.and overdrive: Distortion and overdrive units re-shape or 'clip' an 's so that it has flattened peaks, creating 'warm' sounds by adding or 'gritty' sounds by adding overtones.
In, distortion is created by compressing the instrument's out-going in or 'valves'. Distortion pedals produce perfectly flattened peaks or 'hard' clipping. Overdrive pedals produce 'soft' tube-like distortion by compressing the sine wave without completely flattening it. Much like tube amps, overdrive units produce 'clean' sounds at quieter volumes and distorted 'warm' sounds at louder volumes. Distortion and overdrive pedals may either be -based or digital. While distortion pedals are most associated with electric guitar, they are also used with bass guitar , and.Distortion and overdrive effects: Distortion,.: A fuzz pedal or ' is a type of overdrive pedal that clips a sound-wave until it is nearly a, resulting in a heavily distorted or 'fuzzy' sound.
Fuzzboxes may contain to achieve a harsh by adding complex. ' song ', with the main riff played by Keith Richards with fuzz guitar, greatly popularized the use of fuzz effects. (also called ' bass overdrive') is a style of playing the electric bass that produces a buzzy, overdriven sound via a tube or transistor amp or by using a fuzz or overdrive pedal.Fuzz effects:,.Dynamics.

From top to bottom: Retro Instruments/Gates STA level; Spectra Sonic; Dbx 162; Dbx 165; Empirical Labs Distressor; Smart Research C2; Chandler Limited TG1; Daking FET (91579); and Altec 436c.Also called volume and effects, dynamics effects modify the volume of an instrument. Dynamics effects were among the first effects introduced to guitarists.Boost/volume pedal: A boost or 'clean boost' pedal amplifies the volume of an instrument by increasing the of its.
These units are generally used for 'boosting' volume during solos and preventing signal loss in long '. A guitarist switching from rhythm guitar to lead guitar for a may use a boost to increase the volume of their solo.Treadle-based volume pedals are used by electric instrument players (guitar, bass, keyboards) to adjust the volume of their instrument with one foot while their hands are being used to play their instrument.
Treadle-style volume pedals are often also used to create swelling effects by removing the attack of a note or chord, as popularised by pedal steel guitar players. This enables electric guitar and pedal steel players to imitate the soft swelling sound that an orchestra can produce, in which a note or chord starts very softly and then grows in volume. Treadle-based volume pedals do not usually have batteries or require external power.Volume effects: LPB-1, Fender Volume Pedal, Micro Amp, Volume Pedal.: Compressors make loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder by decreasing or 'compressing' the of an. A compressor is often used to stabilize volume and smooth a note's 'attack' by dampening its onset and amplifying its sustain. A compressor can also function as a with extreme settings of its controls.Compressor effects:,.: Noise gates hum, hiss, and static in the signal by greatly diminishing the volume when the signal falls below a set threshold. Noise gates are often used by electric guitarist who play with vintage amps, which can have unwanted hum in the tone, and by guitarists from who use high levels, which add noise to the signal even when no notes are being played. Noise gates mute the signal when it falls below a certain threshold.
This means that during bars of rest for the guitarist in a song, the hum or noise from the amp or distortion pedal will not be heard by the audience. Noise gates are —meaning that, unlike compressors, they increase the of an to make quiet sounds even quieter. If used with extreme settings and combined with reverb, they can create unusual sounds, such as the used in 1980s pop songs, a style popularized by the song.Noise gate effects:.Filter. 's.Filter effects alter the content of an that passes through them by either boosting or weakening specific frequencies or frequency regions.: An equalizer is a set of that strengthen ('boost') or weaken ('cut') specific regions. While basic often have equalizers for two bands, to adjust bass and treble, professional offer much more targeted control over the audio frequency spectrum. Use highly sophisticated equalizers to eliminate unwanted sounds, make an instrument or voice more prominent, and enhance particular aspects of an instrument's tone.Equalizer effects:, 10-band EQ Pedal. Thomas Organ Cry Baby (1970) manufactured by JEN.: A talk box directs the sound from an electric guitar or synthesizer into the mouth of a performer using a tube, allowing the sound to be shaped into and with movements of the mouth.
The modified sound is then picked up by a microphone. In this way the guitarist is able create the effect that the guitar 'licks' are 'talking'. Some famous uses of the talkbox include 's ', 's ', 's ', 's ', 's ' and 's '.Talk boxes:,.: A wah-wah pedal creates -like sounds by altering the produced by an instrument—i.e., how loud it is at each separate —in what is known as a or 'sweep'.The device is operated by a foot treadle that opens and closes a.

In audio devices, modulation is a control feature that varies the strength of some effect over time to alter tonal properties. Some modulation effects mix (') an instrument's with a signal generated by the effect called a.
Other modulation effects split an instrument's audio signal in two, altering one portion of the signal and mixing it with the unaltered portion.: Chorus pedals mimic the effect and produce naturally, by having slight variations in timbre and pitch, by mixing sounds with slight differences in. A chorus effect splits the instrument-to-amplifier, and adds a slight delay and variations or ' to part of the signal while leaving the rest unaltered. A well-known usage of chorus is the lead guitar in ' by.Chorus effects:, Small Clone, Stereo Chorus.: A flanger creates a 'whooshing' 'jet plane' or 'spaceship' sound, simulating a studio effect that was first produced by recording a track on two synchronized and periodically slowing one tape by pressing the edge of its reel (the 'flange'). When the two tapes' are later mixed, a effect can be heard. Flanger units add a variably delayed version of the audio signal to the original or signal, creating a comb filter.
Some famous uses of flanger effects include ' by, the intro to ' by, and ' by.Flanger effects: Electric Mistress, Flanger,. An MXR-101 Phaser pedal: A phaser or 'phase shifter' creates a slight rippling effect—amplifying some aspects of the tone while diminishing others—by splitting an in two and altering the of one portion. Three well-known examples of phaser are the part on the Van Halen instrumental ' and the keyboard parts on 's ' and 's '.Phase shift effects:, Small Stone,.: A ring modulator produces a resonant, metallic sound by mixing an instrument's with a generated by the device's internal. The original sound wave is suppressed and replaced by a 'ring' of higher and lower or '. A notable use of is the guitar in the song '.Ring modulator effects:.: A tremolo effect produces a slight, rapid variation in the volume of a note or chord. The 'tremolo effect' should not be confused with the misleadingly-named ', a device on a guitar bridge that creates a or 'pitch-bending' effect. In effects, a tremolo is produced by mixing an instrument's with a carrier wave in such a way that generates variations in the sound wave.
Tremolo effects are built-in effects in some vintage. The guitar intro in the ' ' features a tremolo effect.Tremolo effects:,.: Vibrato effects produce slight, rapid variations in, mimicking the fractional variations produced naturally by and violinists when they are prolonging a single note. Vibrato effects often allow the performer to control the rate of the variation as well as the difference in pitch (e.g. A vibrato with an extreme 'depth' setting (e.g., half a semitone or more) will produce a dramatic, sound. In effects, vibrato is produced by mixing an instrument's with a in such a way that generates variations in the sound wave. Guitarists often use the terms ' and ' misleadingly.
A so-called 'vibrato unit' in a guitar amplifier actually produces tremolo, while a ' or 'whammy bar' on a guitar produces vibrato.Vibrato effects:.Pitch/frequency. An Polyphonic Octaver Generator (POG).Pitch/frequency effects modify by altering the of a or sound signal or adding new.and harmonizer: A shifter (also called an 'octaver' for effects that shift pitch by an ) raises or lowers (e.g. ') each note a performer plays by a pre-set. For example, a pitch shifter set to increase the pitch by a fourth will raise each note four intervals above the notes actually played. Simple, less expensive pitch shifters raise or lower the pitch by one or two, while more sophisticated and expensive devices offer a range of interval alterations.
A pitch shifter can be used by an electric guitarist to play notes that would normally only be available on an electric bass. As well, a bass player with a four string electric bass can use an octave pedal to obtain low notes that would normally only be obtainable with a five-string bass with a low 'B' string.A harmonizer is a type of sophisticated pitch shifter that combines the altered pitch with the original pitch to create a two note based on the original pitch, or even with some pedals, three note harmony. Some hamonizers are able to create chorus-like effects by adding very tiny shifts in pitch.Pitch shift effects:, POG.Time-based Time-based effects delay the sound signal, add reverb or echos, or, if a long delay is possible, enable musicians to record 'loops'. Reverb with increasingly longer delayProblems playing these files? See./echo: Delay/echo units produce an echo effect by adding a duplicate instrument-to-amplifier to the original signal at a slight time-delay. The effect can either be a single echo called a 'slap' or 'slapback,' or multiple echos.
A well-known use of delay is the lead guitar in the song ', and also the opening riff of ' by.Delay effects:, Carbon Copy, Deluxe Memory Man,.Looper pedal: A looper pedal or 'phrase looper' allows a performer to record and later replay a phrase, or passage from a song. Loops can be created on the spot during a performance or they can be pre-recorded. By using a looper pedal, a singer-guitarist in a can play the backing chords (or riffs) to a song, loop them with the pedal, and then sing and do a over the chords. Some units allow a performer to layer multiple loops, enabling the performer to create the effect of a full band. The first loop effects were created with using a.
High-end boutique tape loop effects are still used by some studio producers who want a vintage sound. Digital loop effects recreate this effect using an electronic memory.Looper effects:. Folded line spring reverberation.: Reverb units simulate the spacious sounds produced naturally in a huge stone cathedral (or other such as a hall or room). This is done by creating a large number of echoes that gradually fade away in volume or 'decay'. One early technique for creating a reverb effect was to send an amplified signal of the music via a speaker to another room with reflective surfaces, such as a tile bathroom, and then record the natural reverberations that were produced.
A plate reverb system uses an electromechanical to create vibrations in a plate of metal. Systems, which are often used in guitar amplifiers, use a transducer to create vibrations in a spring. Digital reverb effects use various to create the reverb effect, often by using multiple feedback. And are two genres that make heavy use of reverb.Reverb effects: Holy Grail,.Feedback/sustain : Audio feedback is an effect produced when amplified sound is picked up by a microphone or guitar pickup and played back through a, initiating a 'feedback loop', which usually consists of high-pitched sound. Feedback that occurs from a vocal mic into a is almost always avoided. However, in some styles of rock music, electric guitar players intentionally create feedback by playing their instrument directly in front of a heavily amplified, 's. The creative use of feedback effects was pioneered by guitarists such as in the 1960s.
This technique creates sustained, high-pitched and unusual sounds not possible through regular playing techniques. Guitar feedback effects can be difficult to perform, because it is difficult to determine the sound volume and guitar position relative to a guitar amp's loudspeaker necessary for achieving the desired feedback sound. Guitar feedback effects are used in a number of rock genres, including,. An guitar string resonator.is a of Heet Sound Products, of Los Angeles, California, for a small, handheld, battery-powered resonator. The Ebow was invented by Greg Heet, as a way to make a note on an electric guitar string resonate continuously, creating an effect that sounds similar to a bowed violin note or a sustained note. The resonator uses a – inductive string driver – feedback circuit, including a sensor coil, driver coil, and amplifier, to induce forced string resonance. The Ebow brand resonator is monophonic, and drives only one string at a time.Other handheld guitar and bass resonators on the market, manufactured under the tradename SRG, produced by Aescher Europa, in Germany, are available in both monophonic (one note at a time) and polyphonic (multiple notes at once) models, which include multiple onboard trigger switch effects, such as HPF (high pass filter) for enhancing harmonics and producing feedback effects, and LPF (low pass filter), producing a bass boost with a cello sound on heavy gauge strings.
Later EBow models, such as the plus Ebow, contain a mode slide switch on the back, which allows the player to either produce just sustain or feedback in addition to sustain.Pedals such as the Boss DF-2 and FB-2 use an internally generated signal matched to the pitch of the guitar that can be sustained indefinitely by depressing the pedal.Many are often also marketed as 'sustainer pedals'. As a note is sustained, it loses energy and volume due to diminishing vibration in the string. The compressor pedal boosts its electrical signal to the specified, slightly prolonging the duration of the note. This, combined with heavy distortion and the close proximity of the guitar and the speaker cabinet, can lead to infinite sustain at higher volumes.Other effects Envelope follower: An envelope follower activates an effect once a designated volume is reached. One effect that uses an envelope follower is the, which produces a 'wah' effect depending on how loud or soft the notes are being played. A Line 6 modeling amplifier shown from above.
Note the various amplifier and speaker emulations selectable via the rotary knob on the left.modeling: Amplifier modeling is a effect that replicates the sound of various amplifiers, most often vintage ' amps and famous brands of speaker cabinets (e.g., the 8x10' bass cabinet). Sophisticated modeling effects can simulate different types of (e.g., the sound of an 8x10' cabinet) and techniques. A rotary speaker simulator mimics the and sound of a vintage system by replicating its volume and pitch modulations, capacity and./vocal effects: Pitch correction effects use signal-processing algorithms to re-tune faulty intonation in a vocalist's performance or create unusual -type vocal effects. One of the best known examples of this is, a software program and effect unit which can be used to both correct pitch (it moves a pitch to the nearest semitone), and add vocal effects.
Some stompbox-style vocal pedals contain multiple effects, such as reverb and pitch correction.Simulators: Simulators enable electric guitars to mimic the sound of other instruments such as, electric bass. Simulators used on guitars with pick ups replicate the sound of guitars with pick ups, or vice versa. A de- is a bass guitar effect that simulates the sound of a.

Some have built-in effects, such as. In jazz, folk, blues and similar genres may use a bass, a small electronic device that matches the impedance between the and the amp or PA system. Bass preamps also allow for the gain of the signal to be boosted or cut. Some models also offer equalization controls, a compressor, and a connection.Boutique pedals. Brand 'Mudhoney' overdrive pedal.Boutique pedals are designed by smaller, independent companies and are typically produced in limited quantities.
Some may even be hand-made, with hand-soldered connections. These pedals are mainly distributed online or through mail-order, or sold in a few music stores. They are often more expensive than mass-produced pedals and offer higher-quality components, innovative designs, in-house-made knobs, and hand-painted artwork or etching.
Some boutique companies focus on re-creating classic or vintage effects. Some boutique pedal manufacturers include:, and.Modification There is also a for modifying or 'modding' effects. Typicallyvendors provide either custom modification services or sell new effects pedals they have already modified. The, and are some of the most often-modified effects. Common modifications include value changes in capacitors or resistors, adding so that the effect's circuitry is no longer in the signal path, substituting higher-quality components, replacing the unit's original operational amplifiers (op-amps), or adding functions to the device, such as allowing additional control of some factor or adding another output jack. Other pedals and rackmount units. Some rock and pop guitarists and bassists use ' format electronic tuners.Not all stompboxes and rackmounted electronic devices designed for musicians are effects.
And regular pedals indicate whether a guitar string is too. Stompbox-format tuner pedals route the electric signal for the instrument through the unit via a 1/4' patch cable.
