Effects provide us with an extremely wide variety of textures, tones, and possibilities that can help us emulate the sound of our favorite players or shape our own unique style, if we know how to dial in the settings for each effect and where they should go in your signal chain. Tony will help us shape our tone for playing in a blues and/or rock context before he explains effect settings such as 'Threshold', 'Attack', "Depth', 'Feedback', and more to help us understand the myriad of ways that each individual effect can be implemented in order to produce a more interesting sound.
