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.
