Just Pedal Ingredients.

Amp — An amp pedal, often referred to as an amp simulator pedal or amp modeling pedal, is a type of effects pedal designed to emulate the sound and characteristics of various guitar amplifiers. By using digital or analog processing, these pedals replicate the tonal qualities, gain stages, and tonal response of different types of amplifiers, such as vintage tube amps, high-gain modern amps, or classic solid-state models. Amp pedals are typically used to shape a guitarist’s tone without needing to rely on multiple physical amplifiers. They offer a range of preset or adjustable sounds that mimic the effects of different amp types, including their distinctive overdrive, distortion, and EQ settings. Some amp pedals also include additional features like cabinet simulations, which mimic the sound of different speaker cabinets, and built-in effects like reverb and delay. This makes them a versatile tool for achieving a variety of tones and sounds, whether in a practice setting, recording studio, or live performance, providing convenience and flexibility in a compact form.. Compact. IR — An IR pedal, short for Impulse Response pedal, recreates the sound of real speaker cabinets, microphones, and rooms by using digital snapshots of their acoustic characteristics. When you run your guitar or preamp signal through it, the IR file shapes the tone to sound as if it’s coming from a specific amp and cab setup. This makes IR pedals incredibly useful for direct recording, silent practice, or live gigs where you want consistent, studio-quality sound without miking an actual amp. Modern IR pedals often allow you to load multiple impulse responses and switch between them instantly, letting you go from a tight 1×12 combo tone to a massive 4×12 stack in seconds. Some include EQ, reverb, and mic placement controls for further fine-tuning. For players using modelers, preamps, or amp-less rigs, an IR pedal is the final piece that makes your setup sound natural, dynamic, and ready for any stage or studio environment.. Pedal — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food — once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. Simulator — A simulator recreates the sound or behaviour of real equipment, such as amplifiers, speaker cabinets, or microphones, without needing the actual gear. In guitar effects, simulators are used to mimic the tonal character of specific setups — for example, giving a direct signal the feel of a miked-up amp or adding the ambience of a room or cabinet. They’re ideal for recording, practice, or live performance when carrying bulky gear isn’t practical, providing realistic tone and flexibility through digital processing..
