Hi,i'm george chuang. I'm a freshman and i major in the department of journalism in NCCU in taiwan,taipei. I'm from taipei and i'm a optimistic and easy-going person. My hobby is playing guitar,both elecyric and acoustic. So,apparently i'm going to post some blogs about guitar and muic i love. Hope you'll enjoy in the beautiful melody. And,if you're interested in me or my blog,just post a comment and let me know, i would be glad and i'm looking forward to it :)
Today I’m gonna introduce a
special device you use when you play an electric guitar. This cool device are
called Effects units.
Effect units are electronic devices that alter how a musical instrument sounds. Some effects make the sound more “colorful”, some others transform the
sound into a totally different sound. Effects are used during live performances
or in the studio,
they are typically used with electric guitar, keyboard and bass. Most frequently used
with electric or electronic instrument, while it can also used with acoustic
instrument, drums and vocals.
Effects units are usually “housed” or placed
in a small metal or plastic box that placed on the floor in front of the
musician and connected to his instrument. Those box are called “pedal”. Pedal is typically controlled
by one or more foot-pedal on-off switches and contains only one or two effects.And many pedals are usually placed in a pedalboard for you to carry it easier.
Below is an example for the different sound that different pedals make.
