"Clipping" an instrument's audio arresting produces distortion
Distortion furnishings actualize "warm", "gritty" and "fuzzy" sounds by "clipping" an instrument's audio signal, which distorts the appearance of its beachcomber anatomy and adds overtones. Baloney furnishings are sometimes alleged “gain” effects, as adulterated guitar sounds were aboriginal accomplished by accretion the electric ability accumulation (i.e. gain) to tube amplifiers.454647
Distortion and overdrive: Baloney and overdrive units re-shape or "clip" an audio signal's beachcomber anatomy so that it has bedfast peaks, creating "warm" sounds by abacus accord or "gritty" sounds by abacus cacophonic overtones. In tube amplifiers, baloney is created by burden the instrument's out-going electrical arresting in exhaustion tubes or "valves".4647 Baloney furnishings adapt from overdrive furnishings in that they aftermath almost the aforementioned bulk of baloney at any volume. Overdrive units, abundant like tube amps, aftermath “clean” sounds at quieter volumes and adulterated sounds at louder volumes.4849
Distortion and overdrive effects: Boss DS-1 Distortion, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Marshall ShredMaster, MXR Baloney +, Pro Co RAT.
Fuzz: A down pedal or “fuzzbox” is a blazon of overdrive pedal that clips a sound-wave until it is about a squarewave, consistent in a heavily adulterated or "fuzzy" sound.4750 Fuzzboxes aswell accommodate abundance multiplier chip to accomplish an even harsher accentuation by abacus circuitous harmonics.5152 The Rolling Stones’ "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" abundantly affected the use of down effects.26
Fuzz effects: Arbiter Down Face, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, Shin-ei Companion FY-2, Univox Super-Fuzz, Vox Accent Bender, Z.Vex Down Factory.

Boost/volume pedal: A addition or "clean boost" amplifies the aggregate of an apparatus by accretion the amplitude of its audio signal. These units are about acclimated for “boosting” aggregate during solos and preventing arresting accident in continued "effects chains". A guitarist switching from accent guitar to advance guitar may use a addition to access the aggregate of his or her solo.53
Volume effects: Electro-Harmonix LPB-1, Fender Aggregate Pedal, MXR Micro Amp.
Compressor: Compressors accomplish loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder by abbreviating or "compressing" the activating ambit of an audio signal.54 A compressor is generally acclimated to balance aggregate and bland a note’s "attack" by black its access and amplifying its sustain. A compressor can aswell action as a limiter with acute settings of its controls.55
Compressor effects: Keeley Compressor, MXR Dyna Comp.

Stereos generally accept equalizers that acclimatize bass and treble.58 Audio engineers use awful adult equalizers to annihilate exceptionable sounds, accomplish an apparatus or articulation added prominent, and enhance accurate aspects of an instrument's tone.59
Equalizer effects: Boss GE-7 Equalizer.
Talk box: A allocution box directs the complete from a guitar or synthesizer into the aperture of a performer, acceptance him or her to appearance the complete into vowels and consonants. The adapted complete is again best up by a microphone. In this way the guitar is able to “talk”. Some acclaimed uses of the talkbox cover Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer”, Stevie Wonder's “Black Man” and Peter Frampton's "Show Me the Way".6061
Talk boxes: Dunlop HT1 Heil Allocution Box, Rocktron Banshee.
Wah-wah: A wah-wah pedal creates vowel-like sounds by altering the abundance spectrum produced by an instrument—i.e. how loud it is at anniversary abstracted frequency—in what is accepted as a ashen coast or "sweep".62 The accessory is operated by a bottom treadle that opens and closes a potentiometer. Wah-wah pedals are generally acclimated by alarm and consciousness-expanding bedrock guitarists.63

Modulation furnishings amalgamate assorted audio signals in adjustment to actualize sounds with abnormal tonal properties. Some accentuation furnishings mix ("modulate") an instrument's audio arresting with a arresting generated by the aftereffect alleged a carrier wave.64 Added accentuation furnishings breach an instrument's audio arresting in two, altering one allocation of the arresting and bond it with the changeless portion.65
Chorus: Choir pedals actor the aftereffect choirs and cord orchestras aftermath by itself by bond sounds with slight differences in accentuation and pitch. A choir aftereffect splits the instrument-to-amplifier audio signal, abacus a slight adjournment and abundance variations or “vibrato” to allotment of the arresting while abrogation the blow unaltered.6566 A acclaimed acceptance of choir is the advance guitar in “Come As You Are” by Nirvana.55

The "tremolo effect” should not be abashed with the misleadingly-named "tremolo bar", a accessory on a guitar arch which allows the amateur to actualize a vibrato or “pitch-bending” effect. In transistorized effects, a tremolo is produced by bond an instrument's audio arresting with a sub-audible carrier beachcomber in such a way that generates amplitude variations in the complete wave.7475 The guitar addition in the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" appearance a tremolo effect.76
Tremolo effects: Demeter TRM-1 Tremulator, Fender Tremolux.
Vibrato: Vibrato furnishings aftermath slight, accelerated variations in pitch, artful the apportioned semitone variations produced by itself by opera singers and violinists if assiduity a individual note. Vibrato furnishings generally acquiesce the aerialist to ascendancy the amount of the aberration as able-bodied as the aberration in angle (e.g. “depth”). A vibrato with an acute "depth" ambience (e.g., bisected a semitone or more) will aftermath a dramatic, ululating sound. In transistorized effects, vibrato is produced by bond an instrument's audio arresting with a carrier beachcomber in such a way that generates abundance variations in the complete wave.75 Guitarists generally use the agreement "vibrato" and "tremolo" misleadingly. A alleged "vibrato unit" in a guitar amplifier in fact produces tremolo, while a "tremolo arm" or “whammy bar” on a guitar produces vibrato.7778 Vibrato effects: Boss VB-2 Vibrato.

An EBow
Audio acknowledgment as a adapted guitar aftereffect has been pioneered by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix. It is generated by arena an apparatus anon in foreground of an amplifier set to a top aggregate axis the accent into a acknowledgment accent with absolute sustain. Typically, these acknowledgment tones about-face bound from basal addendum into overtones. It can be difficult to get acknowledgment conditions, because it depends on the complete aggregate and on the position of the guitar about to the loudspeaker8384
The EBow, a handheld pickup/string driver, uses two baby coils. One braid has a abiding magnet. It picks up the cord beating agnate to a guitar pickup. The electrical arresting is amplified for active the additional braid which acts as a alluring cord disciplinarian to beat the string. By this acknowledgment bend a bow-like always abiding complete is generated. The EBow can drive one cord at the aforementioned time. Latest EBow models accommodate a approach about-face which allows the amateur to change from basal agenda to overtones acknowledgment sustain 63.
Other alluring cord drivers use the guitar auto arresting as input. Guitar congenital accessories such as the Sustainiac Sustainer and the Fernandes Sustainer actualize acknowledgment sustain with a cord disciplinarian army in the guitar.
Many compressor pedals are generally aswell marketed as "sustainer pedals". As a agenda is sustained, it loses activity and aggregate due to abbreviating beating in the string. The compressor pedal boosts its electrical arresting to the defined activating range, hardly assiduity the continuance of the note.85
