Electric Guitar Pedal Effects

We will try to give a quick look at the main types of guitar effects pedals. Here in Part 1, we are the basics.
We know that there are one million Web sites offer insights on the subject, but his experience was that they are written by engineers, not musicians … they read like microwave manuals are not helpful Resource … Anyway … there you go.
Boost
I can not really milk more than a few lines from the subject. It's pretty cut and dry-pedal give a boost to your signal, a volume boost – or cut, depending on how you set it. Most boost pedals act as a master volume control allows Them a fairly wide range of applications.
Why do I need a boost pedal? To bring your guitar volume through the rest of the band at a Solo, go with the amp harder by feeding a hot signal, to a certain amount of change to have the press of a button.
Overdrive
When most guitarists talk overdrive, they are ampere relation to the smooth "tube distortion" produced by her, when up to the Breaking point driven. Overdrive pedals are designed to either replicate this sound (with moderate success) or drive a tube amp into overdrive, thus these pipes screaming beyond what they are normally able to do without wall shaking volume.
Why do I need an overdrive pedal? Overdrive Pedals can be used as a boost pedal, so that you get these inherent advantages, you get some extra volume to your tone of the distortion created by the pedal. The most overdrive pedals have tone controls give you more tone control options.
Distortion
Based on our above definition of overdrive, distortion, overdrive where to stop. Thinking in the rock guitar world, Van Halen and also for a clear example of distorted guitar sound. Distortion Pedals emulate often high-gain amps produce thick walls of sound small tube amps are not capable of creating. If you are lucky to have a large amplifier Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Diezel or other monsters to be you create your bias, you do not need a distortion pedal. But for the rest of us mortals, are crucial Distortion to the modern guitar sound.
Why do I need a distortion pedal? You want to be relevant is not it? Even with large amplifiers, such as the above these play a key role in distortion of modern music. They offer flexibility, increases and overrides can not compete.
Fluff
God bless Ike Turner and the Kinks. Both laws achieved their landmark tones by using abused speakers. Ike descended on the street on foot in the Sun Records with "Rocket 88" record, cut the Kinks have their speakers with a knife or so the legends it. No matter how they get it, changed the tone of the world. Some call it distortion, some call it down, however, see the progression of this damage to the speakers built down boxes in order to emulate the sounds, I think his to call first, what was Turner and Davies created / stumbled on fluff.
Why do I need a fuzz? Ya like Hendrix, do not ya? In all honesty, What Fuzz is the resurgence in popular music these days. Bands like Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Muse and The White Stripes are to a large extent on classic design to recent releases.
Compressor
The job of a compressor is to provide an even volume output. It makes the soft parts louder and the loud parts softer. Current music guitar sound is driven by the use of compression.
Why you need a compressor? Improved Sustain, more clarity at low volume playing.
Modulation
Flanger
The earliest "Flanger" effects were produced in the studio by two tape decks, both in the same tones, while an engineer would slow down or speed up playing a fool of signals. This is how you produce wooshing jet stream. The edge of the old school tape reels is called the flange.
Why do I need a Flanger? A flanger is a new color palette into your offer tonal. You can live with out, but you'll never be a part of the color of the Nuance Van Halen, Pink Floyd or Rush's of the world.
Phase shifter
The phase-shift bridges the gap between flanger and chorus. Early stage was to thought that the spinning Leslie speaker of a restore. Phase shift is used by all can on the first Van Halen album to be heard.
Why I need a phase shifter? See answer flanger.
Choir
Chorus pedals share your signal in 2 of them by a modulated Slowing down and upset, then mix them back into the original signal. The effect is like several guitarists playing the same at the same time, which sound in a large swelling That sound but I can not hear. You get a thicker more lush sound, but it does not look like a chorus of players seem to me.
Why do I need a Choir? Because Andy Summers used, and Paul Raven says so … that should be good enough.
Tremolo
As a child, did you ever watch with the volume control playing on the TV or the radio manic turning up and down? Yeah? Well, you were a tremolo effect.
Why do I need a tremolo pedal? 6 words for up: The Smiths "How Soon Is Now '
Delay
A delay pedal creates a copy of an incoming signal and some time-delay its recurrence. You can use it to "build back beat" a (single repetition) or an echo (multiple repetitions) Effect. Those of us who can not appreciate the edge use of digital and analog delay during U2's career?
Why do I need a delay Pedal? See answer flanger.
Wah
A variable band-pass filter frequency … Screw all that you know what a wah-wah … his porn music! It's Hendrix! It is Hammett. It is Wylde. It's slash.
Why do I need a wah-wah pedal? Do you really have to ask at this point?
