An Effects Unit (also referred to as effects pedal) looks to distort the sound of an instrument or song to produce a unique sound. Most commonly used in tandem with electric guitars to produce rock music, an Effects Unit is more than versatile enough to be seamlessly integrated into any type of set working within any type of event. Many modern Effects Units look to distort audio through effects such as pitch shifters, reverb, flangers, and phasers.

 

The History of Effects Units

It wasn’t until the mid-1940s when sound engineers started playing around with the concept of sound effects that the history of Effects Units truly began. 1948 was the official year for when the first standalone Effects Units became commercially available and quickly gained traction with experimental musicians who used its distortion sound to create futuristic sounds within their songs. Over the subsequent years, many Effects Units were built into guitar amps as they were far too bulky to be carried around individually and it wasn’t until the late 1950s where Effects Units were made portable enough to actually be carried around for musical performances.
