Effects refer to electronic devices or pedals that modify the sound of your guitar, adding colour, texture, and atmosphere to your playing. Common effects include distortion, delay, reverb, chorus, wah, and modulation, each shaping your tone in unique ways. Effects pedals are popular tools for creative expression, allowing musicians to craft signature sounds, from subtle enhancements to dramatic sonic transformations. This category includes a wide range of stompboxes and multi-effects units suitable for all styles and skill levels.
Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
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.
