More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Control

Controller

A controller is a device used to send control information to other equipment without generating sound on its own. It allows parameters such as notes, effects, presets, or levels to be adjusted remotely, often using footswitches, knobs, sliders, or keys.

Controllers are widely used in modern music setups to manage pedals, processors, synthesizers, and software. They enable complex systems to be operated easily and consistently, especially in live performance and studio environments where hands-free or centralised control is needed.

Footswitch

A footswitch is a hands-free control used to activate, bypass, or change functions on amplifiers, pedals, and other music equipment. It allows players to switch channels, engage effects, or trigger features while continuing to play.

Footswitches are essential for live performance, providing quick and reliable control underfoot. They can range from simple single-button switches to multi-button controllers that manage complex setups and presets.

MIDI

MIDI is a digital communication standard that allows electronic instruments, controllers, and audio equipment to send and receive performance data rather than audio signals. This data includes information such as note on and off messages, pitch, velocity, control changes, and timing, enabling different devices to work together in sync.

In music gear, MIDI is used to control synthesizers, drum machines, effects units, and software from keyboards, pedals, or computers. It allows complex setups to be automated and coordinated, making it essential for studio production, live performance, and modern electronic and hybrid music rigs.
