    What is an effects loop?


    Effects Explained A series of original articles and other resources from the 'net that explain the basics of how effects work and how to apply them. Audio examples of the effects with a number of different parameters are supplied as well.



    Effects Manufacturers Links to manufacturer's sites including DigiTech, DOD, ART, Peavey, as well as PAiA Electronics, which sells kits to build your own effects.


    Beginners/ First-Time Builders
    • It's probably not as tough as you think it is to build your own effects boxes. The first time might be a little tough, but each project afterwards becomes easier and easier.
    • "Is it cheaper than buying effects boxes?" sometimes it's cheaper and sometimes it's not! However, building your own devices will most likely lead to a greater understanding of how effects boxes work and will enable you to become more comfortable with repairing commercial effects in the future.
    • What do they sound like compared to commercial effects? Well, an object is only as good as the sum of its parts. If you use quality parts (i.e.: ones close to the parts specified in the schematic) and you put everything together neatly and carefully, you probably won't be able to tell the difference between the two. Also, when you learn more, you can modify various devices to better suit your own ears.
