Guitar pedals are electronic devices that modify the sound of an electric guitar. They can create various effects, such as distortion, reverb, and delay, allowing musicians to enhance their tone and creativity. Guitarists connect these pedals to their instruments and amplifiers using cables, enabling them to switch effects on and off during performances. There are many types of guitar pedals, including overdrive, fuzz, and chorus. Each pedal serves a specific purpose and can be used individually or in combination with others. Musicians often arrange their pedals on a pedalboard for easy access and organization during live shows or recording sessions.
