Pedalboard offers dozens of pedals in the Pedal Browser on the right side of the window. Pedals are grouped in the following categories:
Distortion pedals: Include overdrive and fuzz. These pedals add “dirt” to the tone and can make the signal louder.
Pitch pedals: Include octave and wham. These pedals double the pitch or shift the pitch of the signal.
Modulation pedals: Include chorus, flangers, and phasers. These pedals create a swirling sound by shifting or modulating copies of the signal, played back over time.
Delay pedals: Also called “echo.” These pedals play back copies of the signal over time to create a sense of space or ambience.
Filter pedals: Include EQ and wah. These pedals color the tone by emphasizing certain frequencies.
Dynamics pedals: Include compressors and noise gates. These pedals let you control the volume of your music over time.
Utility pedals: Include the Mixer and Splitter. These pedals don’t affect the sound directly, but provide additional routing option for the signal.
Click the disclosure triangle in the lower-right corner of the Pedal area.
Choose a category from the View pop-up menu.
The Pedal Browser shows only the stompboxes within the category you choose.
To show all the pedal groups, choose Show All from the View pop-up menu.
Do one of the following:
Drag the stompbox from the Pedal Browser to the Pedal area. You can add a pedal next to or in between existing pedals.
With no pedal selected in the Pedal area, double-click a stompbox in the Pedal Browser to add it to the right of all existing pedals in the Pedal area.
Note: You insert Mixer and Splitter utility pedals in a different way. For more information, see Control pedal routing.
