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.
Tremolo is a guitar effect that modulates the volume of the guitar signal at a regular rate, creating a pulsating or “shaking” effect. This modulation can vary in intensity and speed, allowing guitarists to achieve a wide range of tremolo sounds, from subtle rhythmic pulsations to more pronounced, choppy effects.
Tremolo pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as rate (the speed of the tremolo modulation), depth (the intensity of the effect), and waveform shape (such as sine, square, or triangle wave). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can customize the tremolo effect to suit their musical style and preferences.
Tremolo is commonly used in various music genres, including rock, surf, country, and indie, to add texture, movement, and dynamics to guitar tones. It can be used to create rhythmic patterns, add emphasis to specific parts of a song, or create a sense of tension and release.
Popular tremolo pedal models include the Boss TR-2 Tremolo, Strymon Flint Tremolo & Reverb, and Electro-Harmonix Super Pulsar.

From class-leading effects pedals, multi-effects, and Loop Stations to guitar synthesizers, amplifiers, and more, our trailblazing designs include several world firsts and have forever changed the way people make music.
BOSS has its roots in MEG Electronics, a dedicated guitar effects R&D division founded within Roland Corporation in 1973. The company was recast with the now-famous BOSS name and logo and introduced to the public the following year. Along with products that carry the BOSS brand, the BOSS engineering team has been involved with developing key Roland-branded guitar products since the beginning.
This spirit of innovation continues today as BOSS forges ahead with the creation of original, progressive, and impactful gear. And with plenty more exciting developments on the horizon, we’re looking forward to another half-century of musical evolution.
