Guitar pedals are compact devices placed in the signal path to change level, tone, dynamics, pitch, time, modulation or routing. This broad category includes simple analogue effects, digital processors, switching and utility products, so the most important differences are the circuit function and connection method. Check whether a model expects instrument or line level, how it is powered, whether it preserves bass or stereo information, and how its bypass behaves with the rest of the board.

GUITAR is an instrument-compatibility label for products intended for electric or acoustic guitar setups. It does not describe one effect type, so check the individual listing for pickup requirements, input impedance, frequency response, headroom, power and output routing. Products carrying this label may be pedals, accessories or control devices, and the correct connection to an amplifier, interface or PA should be confirmed from the specification.
