Tremolo & Vibrato Pedals

Tremolo varies amplitude, making volume rise and fall; vibrato varies pitch, making the note move sharp and flat. Some circuits combine both or derive them from modulation systems that blur the boundary. Rate, depth, waveform and stereo phase determine whether the motion is smooth, pulsing, choppy, seasick or spatial, while tap tempo can lock the cycle to a rhythm.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Reverb

Builds a dense tail of reflections around the original sound. Early reflections establish apparent distance and size, while decay, diffusion, damping and modulation shape the density, brightness and movement of the later field. Pre-delay separates the dry attack from the ambience, and mix controls their relative level.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
