FX: DYNAMICS + HEAT

Effects such as boost, overdrive, distortion, and fuzz––along with combinations featuring a mix of each in a send or insert effect chain––help musicians who play guitar, synthesizer, keyboards, or any electronic instrument shape their signature sound.  Artists can add warmth and heat to their sound, compress and rhythmically duck their signals, and break tones into noise with their own custom combination of dynamics effects pedals and hardware units.
