Guitar FX (effects) refer to the wide range of pedals and processors that shape and manipulate a guitar’s signal to create different sounds. From classic distortion and overdrive to reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch-shifting, effects are at the heart of a guitarist’s creative toolkit. Whether analogue or digital, stompbox or multi-effects unit, Guitar FX allow players to express mood, texture, and dynamics in unique ways. Used thoughtfully, they can transform a simple riff into something atmospheric, aggressive, or entirely otherworldly.
A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.
Not actually a tap, but Tap tempo is a feature found on some guitar pedals, amplifiers, and digital effects units that lets you set the speed (or tempo) of time-based effects—like delay, tremolo, or modulation—by tapping a footswitch in rhythm. Instead of adjusting a knob, you simply tap the switch a few times in time with the beat of the music, and the effect matches that tempo. It’s especially useful in live settings, helping players stay in sync with a band or backing track without needing to calculate BPM manually.
