Chorus: Chorus pedals mimic the effect choirs and string orchestras produce naturally by mixing sounds with slight differences in timbre and pitch.

Phaser: A phaser or "phase shifter" creates a slight rippling effect - amplifying some aspects of the tone while diminishing others-by splitting an audio signal in two and altering the phase of one portion.

Flanger: A flanger creates a "jet plane" or "spaceship" sound, simulating a studio effect produced by recording a track on two synchronized tapes and periodically slowing one tape by pressing the edge of its reel (the "flange").

Tremolo: A tremolo effect produces a slight, rapid variation in the volume of a note or chord.

Vibrato: Vibrato effects produce slight, rapid variations in pitch, mimicking the fractional semitone variations produced naturally by opera singers and violinists when prolonging a single note.

Wah-wah: Wah is a type of guitar effects pedal that alters the tone of the signal to create a distinctive effect, mimicking the human voice. The pedal sweeps the peak response of a filter up and down in frequency to create the sound (spectral glide). also known as "the wah effect."

Delay/Echo: Delay/Echo units produce an echo effect by adding a duplicate instrument-to-amplifier electrical signal to the original signal at a slight time-delay.

Reverb: Reverb units simulate sounds produced in an echo chamber by creating a large number of echoes that gradually fade or "decay".

Acoustic Simulator: Acoustic Simulators enable electric guitars to mimic the sound of acoustic guitar.

Why are we doing this?

1. Delay & Reverb

Amps today

So let’s add some delay

and with reverb

and with even more reverb

2, Dimension Style Chorus & Compressor

A listen to the Dyna Comp

and together
