About Boss

BOSS is one of the most iconic and influential effects pedal brands, renowned for its durable, compact stompboxes and industry-leading innovation. A division of Roland Corporation, BOSS has been shaping the sound of musicians since the late 1970s, offering everything from legendary overdrives like the SD-1 and DS-1 to cutting-edge digital effects like the DD-500 and RV-6. Known for their reliability, versatility, and signature buffered bypass, BOSS pedals are a staple on pedalboards worldwide, trusted by beginners and professionals alike.

Delay

A delay pedal is used to create an echo effect by repeating the original sound after a short time. It works by capturing the input signal and then replaying it with adjustable delay time and feedback. The longer the delay time and the more feedback, the more pronounced the repeating echo becomes, adding depth and space to the sound.

There are different types of delay pedals, including analogue, digital, and tape delay. Analog delay provides a warmer, more natural echo, while digital delay offers clear, precise repeats and additional features like tap tempo. Tape delay mimics the sound of vintage tape machines, adding a distinctive, slightly warbled effect. Delay pedals are widely used across genres to create atmosphere, enhance solos, or add complexity to rhythms.

Digital

A digital pedal processes the guitar signal using digital signal processing (DSP) instead of analogue circuitry. This allows for precise, high-fidelity effects, longer delay and reverb times, advanced modulation, and extensive programmability. Digital pedals often feature multiple effect types, presets, MIDI control, and deep parameter editing, making them ideal for versatile sound design. While some players prefer the warmth of analogue effects, modern digital pedals can accurately emulate classic sounds or create entirely new tones. Popular digital pedals include the Strymon Timeline (delay), Eventide H9 (multi-effect), and Line 6 HX Stomp (amp and effects modeller), offering studio-quality sound in a compact format.

Pitch

Pitch in the context of guitar effects refers to the perceived frequency of a sound, which determines whether a note is high or low. Pitch-shifting pedals manipulate this frequency, allowing players to alter the pitch of their notes, creating a range of effects from subtle harmonies to extreme octave shifts. These pedals are commonly used to add depth, width, or uniqueness to a performance, enabling effects such as octave up/down, harmonising, or even creating entire new melodies.

Popular pitch-shifting pedals like the Digitech WH-1 Whammy and Eventide H9 provide the ability to bend pitch in real time or shift the pitch of entire chords, giving musicians the tools to create everything from dramatic sweeping effects to more precise pitch adjustments. The ability to shift pitch without altering the tone allows for creative exploration in live performances or studio recordings, expanding musical possibilities with ease.

Second Hand

Second-hand guitar effects are used pedals or devices that have been previously owned and are being resold. These can include distortion, delay, reverb, and other guitar effects, often found at a more affordable price than new models. Buying second-hand guitar effects provides access to vintage models, discontinued pedals, or well-maintained gear that may offer unique tonal characteristics.

However, checking for any wear, damage, or functional issues before purchasing is important. Many players find great value in second-hand effects, especially if the pedals have been properly maintained or are rare, collectable items.
