"When I started writing my second album I needed gear I could not afford due to a fixed income. But you lot have allowed me to get the equipment needed to not only start recording, but also play live. To everyone at zZounds I am most grateful."

Guitar Pedals and Effects

Think of a famous guitarist's tone, and you'll likely think of an effect they used: Jimi Hendrix's fuzz-fried distortion, the throaty moan of Slash's wah, Kurt Cobain's haunting chorus. Effects are key to your sound, fueling explorations into new sonic territory.
At zZounds you'll find effects of all kinds. Looking for a boutique stompbox? Check out EarthQuaker Devices, Origin Effects, and Source Audio pedals. Need a multi-effects or amp-modeler for your live show? Line 6, HeadRush and Kemper have you covered. And if it's a certain classic effect you have in mind, try established favorites by Boss, Ibanez, and Dunlop. Whatever you're looking for, we've got effects to enhance your tone and inspire your creativity.
Not sure where to start? Our Effects Buying Guide has the lowdown on several effects, with great examples of each. Call our Gear Experts now for help with your purchase: 800-460-8089.
