Here are some tips to keep in mind before you start plugging pedals together: SO, WHERE DOES EACH PEDAL GO IN THE SIGNAL PATH? What about a tuner? The TU-3 is the most popular pedal tuner in the world. And you might want the NS-2 Noise Suppressor to kill the noise in your rig, so let’s add that in, too. Loopers fall into this category also, so let’s add an RC-3 Loop Station to the mix. The most common of these is the CS-3 Compression/Sustainer. A few BOSS effects defy categorization, but are nevertheless very useful in any signal path. This effect type can be used in different places in the signal path, so we’ll use the GE-7 Graphic EQ. Some effects change your sound with filtering.
The AC-3 Acoustic Simulator will do the job. From this category, let’s throw in a BOSS OC-3 Octave.īOSS also has a few pedals that make your instrument sound like some other instrument. For want of a more esoteric name, we’ll call these “pitch-altering” pedals. There are some pedal effects that can add notes or alter the pitch of what you’re playing. We’ll use one of each: a DD-7 Digital Delay and the FRV-1 ’63 Fender Reverb. Another group is ambience effects, such as delays and reverbs. Let’s use the most versatile of these-the BF-3 Flanger. Another category with many choices is modulation.These are effects like flanger, phaser, chorus, tremolo, and others. The largest pedal group is probably overdrives and distortions, and BOSS currently makes 16 different pedals in this category.įor our example pedal board, we’ll pick the ST-2 Power Stack. Understanding the different pedal groups is the key to getting the best sound when chaining them together.
Effects pedals can be separated into groups based on their functions. Once you get a guitar and an amp, the next step is to explore effects.
