What does EQ do?
Boosts or cuts certain frequencies
What does compressor do?
Controls the output of a sound above a set threshold
What does reverb do?
Creates an effect of sounding like a sound is in a certain space (hall, bathroom, church ect)
What does delay do?
A sound is exactly repeated over and over getting quieter each time until it eventually dies away
What does phaser do?
A sound is replicated and moved out of phase and played along with the original sound, sounds wobbly
What does flanger do?
Similar to chorus but more dramatic, sounds like there’s several instruments
What does noise gate do?
Controls the output of a sound below a certain threshold, only allowed sound above to pass through and be heard
What does chorus do?
Used to thicken up sound, creates the effect of their being more than one instrument/voice
What does wah wah do?
Creates a sound as if it is coming out of a valve that is being opened and closed
