Basic Guitar Effects Buying Guide
Short brief on the different types of stompbox
Overdrive and Distortion
Overdrive and distortion pedals give the guitar signal a slightly distorted signal. These pedals are commonly used in rock, punk, blues & metal music.
Popular Overdrive Examples:
AMT Tweed Sound , Artec Blues Overdrive , BOSS SD-1, BOSS OD-3 , EHX Germanium OD , G2D Creamtone , Homebrew Power Screamer , Rocktron Sonic Glory , SansAmp American Woman , TC Vintage Overdrive , TREX Alberta
Popular Distortion Examples:
AMT Astral Tube , Artec Soloist Distortion , BOSS DS-1 , BOSS MT-2 , EHX Metal Muff with Top Boost, G2D Morpheus , Fulltone OCD , Fulltone Distortion Pro , Homebrew Full-Metal Jacket , Krank Distortus Maximus , Rocktron Rampage , SansAmp GT2 , TC Electronic Vintage Distortion , TREX Mudhoney
Preamp and Booster
As the name suggests, it provides boost to the guitar signal, either as a clean boost, slightly overdriven or heavily distorted.
Popular Preamp and Booster Examples:
EHX LPB-1, Fulltone Fat Boost , Homebrew Germania , Rocktron Nitro Booster , TC Electronic Classic Booster , Xotic AC Booster , Xotic RC Booster , Xotic BB Preamp
Wah
The wah shifts and then filters the tone of the incoming guitar signal to create a wide and moving sound that sweeps across the frequency range.
Popular Wah Examples:
Budda Wah , Dunlop Crybaby 535Q , Fulltone Clyde Standard , Vox V847 wah
Noise Gate
A noise gate cuts unwanted feedback or noise from your guitar signals. This is must have if you use a lot of high-gain pedals.
Popular Noisegate Examples:
Artec Noise Gate , BOSS NS-2 , EHX Hum Debugger , ISP Decimator
Equalizer
The equalizer adjusts certain portions of the incoming guitar signal. Musicians can practically get infinite tone variations either by cutting or boosting treble, bass and mid-range sounds.
Popular EQ Examples:
AMT Guitar EQ, Artec Graphic EQ with tuner , BOSS GE-7 , EHX Knockout , TC Electronic Classic Sustain - Parametric EQ
Compressor and Sustainer
It compresses and sustains the incoming guitar signal, to produce a more balanced range of sound.
Popular Compressor and Sustainer Examples:
AMT Guitar Packer , BOSS CS-3 , EHX Soul Preacher , Rocktron Big Crush , TC Electronic Vintage Compressor
Delay
Delay pedals repeat parts of the incoming guitar signal, causing subtle or substantial echo delays. By playing in tempo with a delay, guitarists can get dynamic layered sounds with chords, arpegios and solos.
Popular Delay Examples:
Artec SE-ADL Analog Delay , BOSS DD-3 , BOSS DD-6 , EHX Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai , Homebrew Mimic , Rocktron Short Timer , TREX Replica , TC Electronic Nova Delay
Reverb
Reverb pedals are similar to delay pedals in that they reproduce parts of the incoming guitar signal. Reverb pedals can emulate reverberation sounds for small or large rooms, and other sustained reverberation sounds.
Popular Reverb Examples:
AMT Tube Hall , BOSS RV-5 , EHX Holy Grail , TREX Room-Mate , TC Electronic Nova Reverb
Chorus
Chorus pedals make the single incoming guitar signal sound like there are actually multiple overlapping signals. It adds a thickness to the sound and produces a slightly detuned mix of the original signal, with chorus.
Popular Chorus Examples:
Artec Vintage Chorus , BOSS CH-1, BOSS CE5 , EHX Small Clone , Homebrew THC , Red Witch Empress Chorus , Rocktron Tsunami , TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger
Phaser
It creates a series of modulated peaks and troughs that vary over time, creating a sweeping effect.
Popular Phaser Examples:
BOSS PH-3 , EHX Small Stone , Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser , TC Electronic Classic Phaser
Tremolo
It creates a rapid repetition of one note or a rapid alternation of many notes. A tremolo is sometimes referred to as vibrato.
Popular Tremolo Examples:
BOSS TR-2 , EHX Worm , Fulltone Supa Trem , Red Witch Pentavocal Trem , Rocktron Pulse , TREX Tremster , TC Electronic Vintage Tremolo
Volume Pedal
Reduces or increases the volume before feeding the signal into the amp.
Popular Volume Pedal Examples:
BOSS FV-50H , Ernie Ball VP JR 250K
