Pedaltrain Effects

By William Baker

If a guitarist wished to modify the tone of an electric guitar, he utilises guitar effects. These effects are invaluable as they also have the capacity to modify the pitch and overall sound. Perhaps more commonly known as stomp boxes, these effects units are housed by a small metal or plastic chassis. The actual effects are in effect pedals or guitar amplifiers or simulation software. Despite their very reasonable price tag, PedalTrain effects are some of the more popular on the market, even among the more established musicians in the industry.

Aluminium alloy is used in the construction of PedalTrain effects which is a plus thanks to it's highly durable nature. It is a very strong and light material, weighing 11 pounds. There are no moving parts in the pedal's make-up as it isn't susceptible to frequent or continual motion. "Parts only" PedalTrain effects include the mechanical components but not fuel or other gases or liquids. Due to the durable powder coat finish, the lifetime expectancy is extremely high.

Where the foot is used continually to control the effects board, effects volume or wah-wah pedals will be held securely in place by the PedalTrain.

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.

Another great characteristic of the PedalTrain is that it's modular. If the user has too many modules that a single PedalTrain can handle then two or more can be used together which ultimately leads to an unlimited number of effects at the guitarist's disposal allowing him to create the very sound that he is looking for. When not being used, the separate units stay in their own cases.
