effects pedal
Tone-altering footswitch
An effects pedal is a small electronic device that guitarists and other musicians place on the floor and activate with their foot to modify their instrument's sound.
Common types include distortion, delay, reverb, and wah pedals.
Musicians often chain multiple pedals together on a pedalboard: His effects pedals take up half the stage.
