Advice: Effects Units

Guitar effects processors are units that enhance the guitar signal and change the sound into hopefully something altogether better. Most musicians use some sort of enhancement effects these days in recording and live work. Some notable examples are The Police who commonly use the Flanger effect and Bryan Adam’s Chorus sound. You can buy separate Effects Units or Multi Effects Units which contain most of the sounds in an “all in one” package. The prices of Multi Effects Pedals these days are quite low and start from just £49.00.

If you are unsure that you will use all of the sounds on a Multi Effects Pedal then we advise you buy Single Effects Pedals and build them up, although this will work out to be more expensive. Make sure you know how they work and you purchase one from a shop that will support you with any additional help needed.
