-an effects unit/pedal is an ‘electronic/digital device’ that alters how a ‘musical instrument’ or other ‘audio source sounds’-
.
(some effects subtly “color” a sound, such as a “reverb unit” used on a low setting, while others transform it dramatically, such as a “distortion pedal” set to its maximum level)
(musicians use effects units during live performances or in the studio, typically with ‘electric guitar’, ‘electronic keyboard’, ‘electric piano’ or ‘electric bass’
(while most frequently used with ‘electric’ or ‘electronic instruments’, effects can also be used with ‘acoustic instruments’, ‘drums’ and ‘vocals’)
(examples of common effects units include ‘wah-wah pedals’, ‘fuzzboxes’ and ‘reverb units’)
(effects are built into ‘amplifiers’, housed in ‘table top units’, “stompboxes” and “rackmount units”, or they are built into the instruments themselves)
(a ‘stompbox’ or “pedal” is a small metal or plastic box placed on the floor in front of the musician and connected to the instrument and the instrument amplifier with patch cords)
(typically, one or more on-off foot-operated switches control a device that provides only one or two effects, with many pedals having knobs for controlling the’ volume’, ‘tone’ and ‘intensity’ of the effect)
(a rackmount device mounts on a standard 19-inch equipment rack and usually contains several types of effects)
(while there is currently no firm consensus on how to categorize effects, the following are seven common classifications: ‘distortion/overdrive’, ‘dynamics’ (affecting loudness), ‘filter’, ‘modulation’, ‘pitch / frequency’, ‘time-based’ and ‘feedback /sustain’)
(guitarists derive their signature sound or “tone” from their ‘choice of instrument’, ‘pickups’, ‘effects units’, and ‘guitar amp’ and from the different settings they use with their ‘pickups’, ‘effects units’ and ‘amp’)
