Effects Pedals
An effects pedal (or a "Stomp
Box") is an electronic effects unit housed in a small metal or plastic
chassis used by musicians, usually electric guitar players, to modify their
instrument sound. Musicians playing electronic keyboards, electromechanical
organs, the electric bass, or electric violin also use effects pedals. These
devices alter the sound quality or timbre of the input signal, adding effects
such as distortion, fuzz, overdrive, chorus, reverberation, wah-wah, flanging, phaser
or pitch shifting. The sound of a guitar or other instrument that is played
without an effects pedal is described as "clean",
"straight" or "dry."

from Ibanez, a widely-imitated pedal adding a vacuum tube-like distortion sound
using op-amps.
They are called pedals because they sit
on the floor and have large on/off switches on top that are activated using the
foot. Some pedals, such as wah-wah or volume pedals, employ what is known as an
expression pedal, which is manipulated while in operation by rocking a large
foot-activated (treadle) potentiometer back and forth. The relative position of
the expression pedal thus determines the extent to which the sound is altered.
Effects pedals permit the
guitarist/bassist to activate and deactivate effects while playing an
instrument. Larger rack-mounted effect units are generally more expensive and
delicate, but they have superior sound quality, and are used in studio
applications for recording. Pedals are intended mainly for use in live
performances.
