Question: Guitar effects and multi-guitar peals!?
Can someone explain to me what all the different guitar effects are, what they do, and how to use them!. also, is there a multi-effect pedal that has a lot of different effects!? I want something that changes an electric guitar into sounding like a bass and acoustic guitar!. also, is there a website that gives an example of the pedals!. Basically, just tell me everything about effects!. ThanksWww@QuestionHome@Com

There are a ton of effects for the guitar!.

Single Stomp Pedals will give you one effect mostly!. But it will have a lot of tweaks and modifications that you can do for that one effect!. Something like the Delay Pedal!. It only has the delay but will give you digital, analog, and tape delays!. Then it will have ways to tweak those even further!. How much delay, what type of delay, how long the delay is, how many delays, etc!.

Multi-Effect pedals will give you a ton of effects in one unit!. The downfall of these, are they don't have as many tweaks as a single pedal would for that specific effect and usually the quality isn't as good!. But it's a good tool to learn which effects you like and what type of single pedal you might want to purchase in the future!.

As for sounding like a bass guitar!. That's an Octaver or Phase Shifter pedal that you are talking about!. Either the Boss PS-5 or the Boss OC-3 would do the trick!. I use the OC-3 and love it!. It drops my guitar down two octaves, to give it the low bass feel!.

As for sounding acoustic!. They have the Boss AC-2!. It's an acoustic simulator!. It's not the best quality, but it does do the trick!.

As for finding a multi effects pedal with both phase shifter and acoustic, I'm not sure!. Maybe the Boss ME-50 has it or one of the Line 6 Pod models!. You'll have to do you own research there!.

And to hear effects go to any of the main pedal manufacturer websites and you can listen to samples of their pedals / effects!.
