The first two work by reshaping the electric signal, the 2nd 2 by enlarging ( reinforcing ) it. They'd a maximum amplification like any amplifier, above which they clipped the tops off the waveforms. The distortion was revealed to be nice to several musicians so this distortion / overdrive effect became favored. A favored example of a distortion pedal was the fuzz box. This decreases or compresses the gain of high amplitude signal. By setting the gain high on one of those effects pedals, you can get incredibly great sustain. Ring modulation takes the guitar signal and adds a second from a source or oscillator, and the output is the combined sum and difference. Epiphone was initially a Greek violin company.
The 1st Fender was made in 1943, made of oak. Les Paul had a vehicle accident in 1948 and asked the doctor to set his arm permanently in a guitar-playing position.

Guitar fan Chris Black of London held a marriage rite in 2001 and married his Stratocaster. This needs a large amount of processing power as it takes the sound and reconstructs it at a different frequency. Signal augmentation the second way that guitar effects pedals work is by enlarging the signal. With these you can blend effects for just about limitless mixtures of sound.
