Guitar Effects Processor

Our Guitar Effects Processor section features effects specifically designed for guitars, or those widely embraced by guitarists for their effectiveness with effects like harmonising, delays, and reverbs. Many of the early effects designed specifically for guitars include distortion effects, which helped define the category, as distortion wasn’t widely used for other purposes at the time. If you think we’ve missed a device that should be included, feel free to get in touch and let us know.

Released in 1982

Korg SDD-3000 Digital Delay

The Korg SDD-3000 is one of those effects that has retained it’s appeal even after decades of newer product coming after it. The Korg SDD-3000 digital delay has remained so popular that Korg themselves have re-introduced it in a guitar pedal form, as it was guitarists that fell in love with this very capable delay.

Eventide Model H969 Harmonizer®

Eventide’s newest Harmonizer in 1985 was the Eventide Model H969, which expanded on Eventide’s already capable Eventide Model H949 Harmonizer. The Eventide Model H969’s new ProPitch digital electronic-splicing algorithm gives you the cleanest, most glitch-free pitch change ever. Deglitching is active over a wider bandwidth, too – a full octave wider.

Yamaha SPX-50D Digital Sound Processor

Yamaha was on a roll with the great success of their SPX90 and SPX90 II multi-effects processors, and expanded the line up with the SPX50D. The Yamaha SPX50D added distortion to the list of effects, clearly aiming the processor towards guitarists and perhaps trying to compete with the success Eventide were enjoying with their processors.
