Their popularity spans the globe, not only for their exceptional sound quality but also for the ease with which they can be played. Electric guitars require amplification due to the typically weak signal that cannot be captured by a standard loudspeaker.… pedals gave rock bands their edgy sound, and flangers allowed psychedelic rock to emerge.
These days, you’ll find that what was once avant-garde has now become commonplace. However, there is still a lot of exciting progress happening in the realm of effects combinations used in popular rock music. Guitarists are becoming more confident in creating unique and even startling sounds.

Beyond the familiar effects, there are now numerous effects that have become standard for any aspiring rock guitarist. Compression, for example, helps tidy up the overall sound, making it richer and providing a solid foundation for other effects.
