Should I Use Digital Effects?
Are you interested in digital effects? These effects have come a long
way from their early days in the 80s when they just weren’t that good.
You now have full digital effects boxes that do almost everything
imaginable. These effects can recreate classic sounds as well as create
many modern ones too. So should you use digital effects?
Cost
Stomp boxes can run you a lot of money and each box only does one thing.
For example a $100 distortion pedal only makes distortion and nothing
else. A digital effects box for example may cost a bit more say
$150-$200 for a good model but this does a lot and gives you good value
for your money. For example one good digital processor can do
distortion, delay, reverb, flange, echo, tune your guitar, and so on.
These digital effects give you good value for your money. If you tried
to get all this in just stomp boxes you would spend a ton of money. A
stomp box gives you one or two main sounds but the digital effects box
is the jack of all trades and gives you more value for your money.
Sound
Digital effects today sound quite good and they are nothing like the
terrible ones form the early days. Most regular people simply can’t tell
the difference between a stomp box and a digital effect. As a guitar
player you probably can and the sound is really a preference. You may
enjoy the sound of digital effects or you may hate them, it’s all a
matter of opinion. The only way to know is to try a digital effect out
and see for yourself
Versatility
Digital effects allow you to be very versatile. For example, you don’t
have to lug around a pedal board or sort through a bunch of pedals to
find one sound. With a digital effect you can click a button and save a
preset and use that preset whenever you need it. There’s no need to
fiddle with buttons once you have a preset. Many digital effects come
with preloaded presets that are quite good and some allow for sharing of
presets among users. Many digital effects can even recreate the sounds
of famous rock stars s you have a recreation of their sound such as the
“brown sound” of Eddie Van Halen or the bluesy feel of Stevie Ray
Vaughan or the feel of 60s amplifiers. Digital effects let you create
sounds now without the hassle to buy the actual gear used to create the
original sound.
Recording
Digital effects allow you to do something else, they allow a beginner to
begin recording right away. With simple software you can start
recording your own songs without the need for expensive gear, tons of
amplifiers, and a huge array of effects. If you want to get your songs
out there without expense then digital effects can help you get the
sounds you want now.
Digital effects are a great option for you as a guitar player and a combination of digital and regular analog is the best options. You should really have no fear of digital as there’s a wide array of excellent tones you can use right now.
