Effects pedals are devices used by musicians, particularly guitarists, to modify the sound of their instruments. They can create a variety of sounds, such as distortion, reverb, and delay, allowing players to enhance their music and express their creativity. These pedals are typically placed on the floor and activated by stepping on them during a performance. Each effects pedal serves a specific purpose and can be combined with others to create unique soundscapes. Popular types include overdrive, chorus, and fuzz pedals. Many musicians use these tools to develop their signature sound and improve their overall performance.
