Chris Juergensen - Effects Columnist

Chris Juergensen ColumnEffects have always been an important aspect of the guitarist's sound. In order to use them to their full potential, it is important to understand how they work, how the order in which they are placed in the signal chain affects tone and which ones work well with the style and genre you associate yourself with. Each instalment in this column will examine the basic categories of effects in the same order that they are usually placed in the signal chain. Each column will focus on some of the history makers plus review the best new units on the market.
