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.

Gate

A gate, or noise gate, is a dynamics tool used to reduce unwanted noise by muting the signal when it falls below a set level. When the input signal rises above the threshold, the gate opens and allows sound through; when it drops below, the signal is reduced or silenced.

Noise gates are commonly used in guitar rigs and recording setups to control hum, hiss, and feedback, especially with high-gain or distorted sounds. They help keep playing tight and clean by eliminating background noise during pauses without affecting the intended performance.

Noise

Noise is an effect category focused on controlling unwanted hum, hiss, and interference in a guitar signal. Noise gates and noise suppressors reduce background noise when you are not playing, helping keep high-gain and complex pedal setups tight, clean, and controlled without affecting the core tone.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
