Effects pedals or stompboxes are electronic gadgets able to modify the sounds of your instrument, enriching them or changing some of their properties for the sake of making your performance more personal or more suitable from a technical point of view. Effects pedals are some metal or plastic boxes put on the floor, at your feet, and connected to your instrument that you can control with your feet, via some switches/pedals. Stompboxes are among the first of effects units to be developed, having just one or two effects and, as such, are relatively inexpensive, quite affordable for young guitarists, wishing to improve their sounds. While they are usually connected to the electric guitar, keyboard or bass, they can accommodate other instruments as well. So, if you can afford a good guitar, it would be a pity not to acquire a quite affordable stompbox, to give more chances to your musical creativity.
