It also works as a limiter to suppress loud peaks in the input signal .
Produces a wah effect matched to the intensity of picking .
Adds sound an octave lower and two octaves lower .
This removes the attack portion of the signal to create violin-like sounds .
Simulates a fretless guitar .
By ring-modulating the guitar sound with the signal from an internal oscillator,
this effect creates a metallic sound that has no definite pitch .
Changes the sound of electric guitar into the sound of acoustic guitar .
Changes a single-coil sound to a humbucker sound .
Changes a humbucker sound to a single-coil sound .
