Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are a great way to experiment with sounds. They can be a cost effective solution to expand, enhance and alter the sound of your guitar. In the 60s, fuzz and wah pedals made a huge impact in music. Since then, effects pedals have come a long way but continue to make their mark. The most cutting edge technology is now available at your feet with the option of sounding as futuristic or vintage as you want.

Most effects pedals are split into two kinds of devices - single pedals and multi-effects units. Single pedals usually provide one specific sound, such as an overdrive or a phaser. Many companies produce them, ranging from TC Electronic, Electro Harmonix, and Boss to boutique brands like Wampler, Walrus Audio and Keeley. Multi-effects units are usually larger devices with many types of effects. These are useful for guitarists who need a wide palette of sounds available to them. Brands such as Line 6, Boss and Zoom are well known for these.

There is an almost endless selection of distortion, fuzz, looper, modulation, wah, reverb and delay pedals available, to name just some effects. We recommend trying some out to find which effects work best for you and your style of playing.
