Stomp Box Vs. Multi Effects: The world of guitar effects sees two main categories. The first category are those single stompboxes. Which are usually designed to achieve one specific sound or effect. Multi-effects on the other hand combine more than one effect into a unit.

Analog Vs. Digital: Guitar effects processors and pedals generally come in either analog or digital. And sometimes are designed as combination between the two. Originally, pedals were only made to be analog. However, with technology advancements over the years. We see more digital effects coming about.

Types of Effects: The various types of effects will include overdrive, distortion, modulation, delay, reverb and wah. There are however many more unique pedals out there.

Utilitarian Pedals: Lastly, there are guitar effects that don’t necessarily produce a sound. But, provide a crucial service to guitar players. Such pedals include tuner pedals like the Boss TU-3 , buffer pedals as well as pedal power supplies.
