EFFECTS
EFFECT PEDALS Stomp boxes, or effects pedals, are effects units designed to sit on the floor or a pedalboard and be turned on and off with the user's feet. They typically house a single effect.
RACKMOUNT Rackmounts are most commonly used in recording studios and "front of house" live sound mixing situations, though many musicians use them in place of stompboxes. Rackmounts are controlled by knobs or switches on their front panel, and often by a MIDI digital control interface. During live performances, a musician can operate rackmounted effects using a "foot controller“. (Amir)

WAH WAH • T echnically it is a band pass or high Q lowpass filter. • Engineers at VOX noticed that a midrange boost amplifier circuit made a distinctive vocal sound when switching between two frequencies. • The pedal sweeps the peak response of a frequency filter up and down in frequency to create the sound, a spectral glide, also known as "the wah effect". • Auto wah
EQ BASED • Ring Modular • Envelop Filters or Auto Wahs
EQUALIZER
VOLUME OR EXPRESSION PEDAL High or Low Impedance Active or Passive Pedal
COMPRESSOR • compression is dynamic volume attenuation. It makes loud sounds quieter, and quiet sounds louder.
DISTORTION & OVERDRIVE & FUZZ • One of the channels on the board was “broken” and produced a distorted sound. He decided to use it to record Grady Martin’s guitar solo on the Marty Robbins’ tune “Don’t Worry”. • Overdrive — Audio at a low input level is driven by higher input levels in a non-linear curve characteristic • Distortion — a wider tonal area than overdrive operating at a higher non-linear region of a curve • Fuzz — complete non-linear behavior , harder/harsher than distortion
FUZZ & DISTORTION & OVERDRIVE • What is the difference between Fuzz, Distortion, and Overdrive?
FUZZ Germanium or Silicon Fuzz
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR • Low-frequency oscillation ( LFO ) is an electronic signal which is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep. This pulse or sweep is often used to modulate synthesizers, delay lines and other audio equipment in order to create effects used in the production of electronic music.Audio effects such as vibrato, tremolo and phasing are examples
CHORUS • The Chorus effect delays the original signal. The delay time is modulated with an LFO. The delayed, modulated signal is mixed with the original, dry signal. • Provides a vibrato or pitch modulation effect.
FLANGER • The Flanger effect works in much the same way as the Chorus effect, but it uses a significantly shorter delay time. In addition, the effect signal can be feedback into the input of the delay line.
PHASER The Phaser effect combines the original signal with a copy that is slightly out of phase with the original. This means that the amplitudes of the two signals reach their highest and lowest points at slightly different times. The timing differences between the two signals are modulated by two independent LFOs
TREMOLO The Tremolo effect modulates the amplitude of the incoming signal, resulting in periodic volume changes. You’ll recognize this effect from vintage guitar combo amps (where it is sometimes incorrectly referred to as vibrato ). The graphic display shows all parameters, except Rate.
VIBRATO Pulsating change of pitch Vibrato is typically characterized in terms of two factors: the amount of pitch variation ("extent of vibrato”) and the speed with which the pitch is varied ("rate of vibrato") UniVibe
DELAY an input signal to an audio storage medium, and then plays it back after a period of time. The delayed signal may either be played back multiple times, or played back into the recording again, to create the sound of a repeating, decaying echo.
