Guitar effects pedals, also called stomp boxes, are devices used for adding various sound effects such as fuzz, distortion, wah-wah, reverberation, chorus, overdrive, and flanging to guitar sound. They consist of a metal housing and effects systems hooked to a signal chain through a pair of two-conductor cables fitted with phone or jack plugs. They are set on the floor, and their on/off switches are controlled by foot. Aside from guitars, they can also be used with cellos, violins, and keyboards.
Sound quality: Choose a guitar effects pedal with stereo outputs for a realistic sound that can be heard from all parts of a venue.
Linkage: If you intend to use several separate guitar effects pedals, consider connecting them using a chain. Make sure to place the overdrive and wah pedals at the beginning of your chain to maintain their clear tone.
