Delay is a time-based guitar effect that produces echoes or repetitions of the original signal after a certain amount of time has passed. It works by recording the incoming audio signal and then playing it back with a slight delay, creating the perception of multiple instances of the sound occurring over time. Delay pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as delay time, feedback (the number of repeats), and level (the volume of the delayed signal). By manipulating these controls, guitarists can create a wide range of delay effects, from subtle ambiance to rhythmic patterns and spacious soundscapes. Delay is commonly used in various music genres, including rock, pop, ambient, and electronic music, to add depth, dimension, and texture to guitar solos, rhythm parts, and atmospheric passages. Popular delay pedal models include the TC Electronic Flashback, Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, and Strymon Timeline.
A deluxe guitar might have higher-quality pickups, special finishes, or finer craftsmanship, while a deluxe edition of an album could include bonus tracks or special packaging. The word suggests something that’s a step above the basic.
An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar fitted with a built-in pickup or microphone, allowing it to be plugged into amps, effects units, PA systems, or recording gear. It retains the natural tone and resonance of a regular acoustic guitar but with added flexibility for live performance or studio use. Electro-acoustic guitars aren’t tied to any one style—they’re used in everything from folk and rock to classical and jazz—offering traditional sound with modern convenience.
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.
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.
