Chorus is a modulation-based guitar effect that creates a rich, shimmering sound by splitting the guitar’s signal into two identical paths, slightly detuning one of them, and then mixing them back together. This process produces a doubling effect that simulates the sound of multiple guitars playing simultaneously, resulting in a lush, chorused tone. Chorus pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as rate (the speed of the modulation), depth (the intensity of the effect), and mix (the balance between the dry and chorused signals). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can achieve a wide range of chorus effects, from subtle, shimmering textures to lush, swirling tones. Chorus is commonly used in genres such as rock, pop, and jazz to add depth, dimension, and movement to guitar tones, creating a sense of spaciousness and richness. Popular chorus pedal models include the Boss CE-2 Chorus Ensemble, MXR M234 Analog Chorus, and TC Electronic Corona Chorus.
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.
Guitar pedals are essential tools for shaping your sound, offering everything from subtle tone enhancements to wild, expressive sonic textures. Whether you’re after the grit of overdrive, the shimmer of chorus, the depth of reverb, or the psychedelic swirl of delay and modulation, pedals allow players to personalise their tone and push creative boundaries. Each stomp box adds its own flavour, and when combined, they become a powerful extension of the player’s voice. From vintage classics to cutting-edge innovations, guitar pedals are where the magic happens—turning a great tone into something unforgettable.
Vibrato is a musical effect that adds depth and expression by subtly varying the pitch of a note. In guitar playing, this can be achieved by bending the string back and forth, using a vibrato bar (whammy bar), or with a dedicated vibrato pedal. Unlike tremolo, which modulates volume, vibrato modulates pitch—creating a shimmering, vocal-like quality that brings notes to life. Whether used gently for soulful bends or more dramatically for psychedelic textures, vibrato is a powerful tool that adds emotion, movement, and personality to your sound.
