Getting the right sound out of your guitar can be a complex process that not everyone can appreciate. It requires input from a wide range of different modifiers and this generally includes the use of various pedals. After all, signature sounds are rarely ever developed by using one single pedal at a time. They are developed by using a succession of them to generate a unique, interesting sonic effect. Guitarists understand this better than anyone does, so they often spend a lot of time trying to find the best pedals they can fit into their budgets. Two of the most common types of pedals that factor into these sonic mixtures are overdrive and delay.

Overdrive pedals are designed to simulate the type of signal compression that was once achieved using tubes in older tube amplifiers. It is used to compress the signal coming off of your guitar and create a warm, crunchy distortion that is very distinctive. This type of signal is used heavily throughout rock and roll and heavy metal. However, it is also a heavily used effect in jazz and many other forms of music. When used in tandem with other pedals like flanges and wah-wah pedals, good overdrive pedals can create a unique sound.

Delay pedals digitally store the signal from your guitar and repeat it over a set period of time. They provide an effect that simulates an echo. In the old days, this was achieved by using a set of tapes that would play the sound back repeatedly to simulate an echo as it decays. This is why you will sometimes find delay pedals that provide "tape delay" signals. Modern pedals utilize very refined digital components to provide a precise rate of repetition and speed of decay. A tight signal repetition and fast decay can produce a semi-chorus effect that is widely used throughout many rock songs.
