Effects Pedal Facts

[LushTone]

Does anyone here have a list of facts/descriptions for the various common guitar effects pedals? It'd be useful info as a guitarist, obviously. I know some basics, but am no expert.

I appreciate any info I can get.  :help:

Do you have any specific things or information you are looking  for ?

A google search for "effects pedal descriptions" will bring up quite a few links to information already out there.

A tip from myself is effects are best used in moderation for most applications. Except for the humble tuner which is a must.

Yeah, I always turn my tuner all the way up to maximum in-tune-ness.

Hah yea I've googled it, but some of the results are lacking from what I saw.

I was just hoping for an approved link or personal knowledge. Thanks again for the responses!

Does a reasonably good job of concisely explaining what the effects do, and how to arrange them for acceptable results.

Gotta love reference books. You can sit on the can and study in privacy. Even the wife and the NSA can't see or know what you're learning. Watch out for the cat, though. Sneaky little bastards gotta know everything.

The written word often does not do sounds justice.  Take your axe to a Guitar Center and just play through all the effects available to get an idea...
