A dual pedal refers to a pedal that combines two separate effects or functions into one unit. These pedals are designed to give musicians more flexibility and space-saving convenience on their pedalboards. Dual pedals can combine any two effects, such as a dual delay, dual distortion, or dual overdrive, allowing the player to switch between or combine both effects in a single stomp.

Dual pedals are great for musicians who want to streamline their setup while still having access to multiple effects without needing multiple individual units. Popular examples include the MXR M-169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay, which offers both delay and modulation options, and the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo Reverb, which combines reverb effects with versatile controls. Dual pedals can be a time-saving, space-efficient way to expand your tone-shaping possibilities.
