Electric and acoustic-electric guitars are equipped with a pickup. The amplifier takes the signal, sends it through a circuit and makes it louder as it passes through the speaker. This arrangement not only gives your electric guitar a voice, but also opportunities for distortion and tone coloring without a set of pedals.
Guitar pedals are electronic devices placed between a guitar and amplifier to alter, enhance, or manipulate the instrument's tone, volume, or signal dynamics. They allow musicians to create a wide variety of sounds—from subtle grit to extreme, sustained distortion—and are foot-activated for on-the-fly, hands-free control during performances.
