Learn The Guitar Effects And How They Work

guitarGuitar effects modify the sound of an electric guitar. They come in a lot of different forms, such as preamps, foot pedals, simulation software or processors. It’s important to know about the effect when you attempt to alter you guitar’s sound.

The best prices for effects are found at the Rhythm Guitar Store.

The links below will show more information about each effect, as well as recommended units that I use or have used in the past that I believe are high quality effects units.



Learn More About Distortion

Distortion is the most used effect. A distortion device takes the signals waveform and clips the signal to distort it. There are several different types of distortion.


Learn More About Equalization

Equalizers are made up of frequency bands. Each frequency may be adjusted separately, unlike the rotary tone knob on your guitar so you have even more control of your sound.

Learn More About Reverb And Delay

Reverb is defined as persistence of sound in a particular place after the original sound has stopped. This is a very popular effect used by most guitarists

Delay, also known as echo, copies a sound in a particular place after the original sound has stopped. This is another popular effect used by most guitarists.

Depending on what genre you are playing, there are a lot of other sounds you can create, like the wah pedal, tremolo, phaser, flanger, or chorus.

There are even multi effect devices that allow you to use more than one effect at a time.
