While the acoustic guitar sound depends on the vibration body is equipped with air space, the magnitude of an electric guitar sound depends on the magnetic induction of electrical signals generated by the metal strings near the pickups. Signal was formed in the plot toward a aplifiermenggunakan set of sound effects to modify the tone and signal characteristics. Circuit formation of the most common sound is a volume control, gain and tone and pickup selector switch is found in almost all types of electric guitars. Year 1960 some guitarists began to explore a wider coverage in effect penadaan by distorting the sound, by adding the gain and volume of the preamplifier that produces a faint noise (fuzzy). This effect is called "clipping" by the experts because of the sound when shown with oscilloscopes, signal waveform distortion shown truncated at its peak. This is not a recent development in the instrument, but presents a little shift in aesthetics. Year 1960 penadaan colors on the next electric guitar be modified by introducing an effects box in the signal path, built in a metal chassis with a switch on / of the foot. Looks like stomp boxes have become an important part in many musical genres. Sound effects typically include stereo chorus, fuzz, wah-wah, flanging, compression / sustain, delay, reverb and phase shift. Not all of the guitar effects elektrnik 1967, from The Yardbird Jimmy Page and Led Zepelin creating psychedelic sound effects by playing the guitar with a violin bow and hitting the strings with a bow. Years 1980 and 1990, digital effects and Sotware effect can begin replicating the analog effects. Efect digital sound generated is trying to effect analogous to that for varying degrees of quality. So much for the computer program can didownloud efect guitar for free via internet. Now with a computer using a soundcard can be used as a digital guitar effect. But although the digital effects and software many beneficial effects, many guitarists still use analog effects.
Construction of electric guitars
Electric guitar construction consists of many variations, in terms of materials used for guitar bodies, pieces of body shape and placement of neck, bridge, and pickups there are some features found in almost all types of guitars: the headstock; contains nmachine head that is used for tuning the guitar, nut ; the form of a thin piece of metal or plastic long as the support of strings before the fretboard / fingerboard, machine head; a worm gear can be rotated or driven in regulating the string tension to get the tone, fret; the form of a thin metal piece partially embedded into the fretboard, stop functioning strings when the strings pressed to the fretboard to get the desired tone. Neck and fretboard; extends from the nut to the body guitar and the neck joint, neck or dibaut glued to the body of the guitar, the body, made of hardwood and stained divernis, but some of the guitar body is made of polycarbonate and other materials, pickups, usually in the form magnetic pickups, controls knop; form of potentiometers for volume and tone, fixed bridge on some guitars, the bridge is not fixed is used as a substitute tremolo system allows players to bend the tone and vibrato are also showing the effects on his guitar playing.
