🎸 What Is a Guitar Effector?

A guitar effector, often referred to as a guitar effects processor or pedal, manipulates the sound of your guitar signal. When combined with an Apple-compatible audio interface, it allows you to apply various effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, and modulation directly through your iOS device. This integration enables real-time processing, recording, and performance capabilities without the need for traditional, bulky equipment.
