Since Guitar Effects Pedals are so abundant now, how do you know
what to use for your next gig! What is the difference between the
flanger and the phase shifter and the Tremolo.
Guitar Effects Pedals are difficult to categorize due to the multitude of sounds. In this article I will be discussing pedals that affect your pitch and frequency. These pedals include the following types: Chorus, Flanger, Phase Shifter, Pitch Shifter and harmonizer, ring modulator, Tremolo, and Vibrato. I'll focus on a few of these.
Chorus Effect: If you have ever heard a choir sing or an orchestra play then this is what chorus effects are like. The only difference is in the timbre and pitch. A chorus effect adds vibrato to part of the signals.
Types of Chorus Effects include: Dunlop Uni-Vibe stereo chorus, Erockson Chorus Pedal, BOSS Chorus Ensemble, Visual Sound Liquid Chorus, Dunlop MXR stereo chorus pedal, MXR Micro Chorus pedal.
Flanger Effect: Flanging is produced by 2 identical sounds which are mixed together and 1 is delayed. Some describe it as a jet plane sound. The what is now called Flanging sound was in use for more than 20 years before the first portable stompbox was made to be used by guitarists.
Types of Flanger Effects Pedals include: Dunlop MXR Flanger, Dunlop MXR Micro Flanger, Erockson Flanger, Boss Flanger
Phase Shifter: Filters a signal causing peaks and troughs in it's frequency. Phase shifters are similar to flangers but they have a more out of this world type sound.
Types of Phase Shifter Effects include: Pigtronix Envelope phaser pedal, Garagetone Oil Can Phaser Pedal, BOSS Phase Shifter, BBE Soul Vibe, Electro-harmonix small tone phaser shifter, Erockson Phaser pedal, MXR phase 90 and phase 100
Pitch Shifter: Does exactly what it says. It changes the pitch. It can raise a note or lower a note to a different pitch that you choose.
Types of Pitch Shifters: Dunlop's MXR Blue Box Octave Fuzz, Dunlop's Jimi Hendrix Octavio Effect
Tremolo Effect: Makes a trembling type sound by causing a rapid change in the volume of a note.
Types of Tremolo Effects include: Dunlop MXR Tremolo stereo effect, BBE Tremor Dual Tremolo pedal, BOSS Tremolo, Garage Tone Tremolo Pedal.
Musicians have been using Guitar Effects for decades to take their music to the next level. Can you imagine music without them today? Wow, what a difference Effects Pedals have made!
