subject: Pedaltrain Effects [print this page] Guitar effects are invaluable in modifying the tone of an electric guitar. Effects pedals, also known as stomp boxes, are effects units protected by a small plastic or metal chassis. They can also modify the pitch and overall sound. The effects themselves can be found in effects pedals, guitar amplifiers or even simulation software. Some of the top guitarists of the modern era use PedalTrain effects yet they are reasonably priced so are within reach of even amateur musicians.
The use of aluminium alloy in the construction of the PedalTrain, being as durable as this material is, is certainly a plus. The material is not only very strong but extremely light. It also has a durable powder coat which explains its high life expectancy. In it's construction, there is not a single moving part as it isn't exposed to continual or frequent motion.
The PedalTrain holds securely in place, wah-wah pedals or effects volume where the foot is continually controlling the effects board.
Any combination of effects pedals can be operated and transported with the secure and protective method provided by the PedalTrain's unique design. The construction, which is open-frame, along with the elevated angle allows the connecting cables to be routed through and under the PedalTrain which allows additional flexibility when arranging the pedals in their required positions. This actually has a positive impact on the risk of disconnection.
One great feature of the PedalTrain is that it is modular. If the user is exposed to too many modules for a PedalTrain to deal with then multiple PedalTrains can be used to create a vast array of effects available to the guitarist. He can subsequently create any kind of sound that appeals to him.
