Analog guitar pedals are known for their warm, organic, and often slightly “imperfect” sound characteristics. They can add harmonic richness, subtle saturation, and musicality to the guitar signal, which many players find appealing. Analog pedals often have a more straightforward operation and tend to interact more dynamically with the player’s touch and guitar’s volume and tone controls.
However, analog pedals can also be more prone to noise, have limited control options compared to digital counterparts, and may lack features like preset storage or advanced modulation effects. Nevertheless, many guitarists prefer analog pedals for their vintage tone, simplicity, and the tactile experience they provide.
Examples of popular analog guitar pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer (overdrive), Electro-Harmonix Small Clone (chorus), and MXR Phase 90 (phaser).
Bass
Compressor
A compressor is a type of guitar effect that reduces the dynamic range of the guitar signal by attenuating the louder parts while boosting the quieter ones. This results in a more consistent and even sound, with a smoother overall volume level. Compressors are used to even out the differences in volume between different notes or chords, making them sound more uniform and polished.
Compressor pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as threshold (the level at which compression starts), ratio (the amount of compression applied), attack (how quickly compression is applied), and release (how quickly compression is released). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can tailor the compression effect to suit their playing style and musical preferences.
Compressors are commonly used in a wide range of musical genres, including rock, blues, country, and funk, to enhance sustain, control dynamics, and add punch to guitar tones. They are particularly useful for achieving a consistent and professional sound in both live performances and studio recordings. Popular compressor pedal models include the MXR Dyna Comp, Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer, and Keeley Compressor Plus.

Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. (YGG) acquired the Ampeg brand in 2018—bringing it under the same roof as Yamaha basses/guitars/amplifiers and digital innovators Line 6. Honouring 70+ years of celebrated Ampeg history and the 50th anniversary of the amplifier that put Ampeg on the rock ‘n’ roll map, the first thing developed by YGG was the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT, a product that quickly became one of the most requested amplifiers amongst touring artists and backline companies.
