An effects unit (effect box, stomp box, stompbox, or pedal) is an electronic device that alters how a musical instrument or other audio source sounds. Some effects subtly "color" a sound, while others transform it dramatically. Musicians use effects units during live performances or in the studio, typically with electric guitar, keyboard, or bass. While most frequently used with electric or electronic instruments, effects can also be used with acoustic instruments, drums and vocals. Examples of common effects units include wah-wah pedals, fuzzboxes and reverb units.
Effects are housed in amplifiers, table top units, "stompboxes" and "rackmounts", or they are built into the instruments themselves. A stompbox (or "pedal"—particularly if it features an actual pedal, as in a wah-wah pedal) is a small metal or plastic box placed on the floor in front of the musician and connected to the instrument and the instrument amplifier with patch cords. Typically, one or more on-off foot switches control a device that provides only one or two effects. A rackmount device mounts on a standard 19-inch equipment rack and usually contains several types of effects.
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the frets) the strings with the fingers of the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar. The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings's vibration, amplified by the body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive finger-picking technique. The term "finger-picking" can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the United States.
A video showing how to connect and set up an external effects processor to work with a mixer in the context of live sound reinforcement. Includes detailed instructions on how to route your signal to and from the effects unit, what cables to use and what type of auxiliary send should be used. Also answers some commonly asked questions on this topic, such as how to send the effects to your stage monitors and why it is better to use post-fade rather than pre-fade aux sends.

Natyam - An independent short film released on the world dance day ie., 29th of April. watch out for the Performance of the lead artist Sandhya Raju as a classical dancer - #Revanthfilmmaker #Natyam #Sandyaraju #KirtilalsOnline #internationalDanceDay Story Brief: The first few minutes of Natyam take us into the day-to-day life of Kalyani (Sandhya Raju). She lives in a tastefully done up house and does things one normally expects a married woman to do — cooking, tending to the needs of her school-going boy, her elderly in-laws and her husband, a cardiologist, who has little time to spare. She doesn’t grumble, not even when her husband tells her he won’t be able to make it to their son’s school function. But there’s something amiss in her. Kalyani remains distant from her surroundings an...
