The Beginners Guide To Guitar Effects and Pedals

By Patrick Jules

In this article, I just want to touch on the delight that you can get when you use a pedal, or distortion. In the beginning, distortion was thought of as something unwanted, as a malfunction that was to be corrected, but, over time, musicians began to realize that a distortion or the effect of a pedal could sustain a guitar note, if used properly, and it could also add some other interesting sounds to the guitar that gave it a whole new range, and audience.

When amplifiers were first used, they discovered that the tubes could not handle the sound well enough to allow it to disperse properly and so, distortion happened. However, when musicians realized that there was a completely new world to be explored with the different sounds, they began to play with all the possibilities.

Many musicians still like to use the old tube amplifiers because of the distortion they give. They have a warm, more resonant tone that puts audiences in that mood where they can appreciate better the qualities of the different tones that can be created.

Later, a thing called equalization was discovered, Equalization, or EQ, happens when certain frequencies are amplified within a signal. It can highlight the treble or the bass to make it a little more equal with the sound being produced, hence the name equalizer. You have to experiment with EQ, because the distortion or the amplification you get may not work with what the rest of the band is playing.

Other properties of the pedals are known as modulations and delays and those occur when the signal is split into two equal parts so that one follows the other at an interval of your choosing. Modulations don?t have the natural sound of a delay, and so have to be evaluated as you experiment.

The next characteristic of the pedals is the pitch shift. This is where you can alter the pitch of a note or chord by operating the pedal to your liking. Again, you have to experiment with all the sounds because with pitch shift, you can go too far and go completely out of key with the song being played.

Modeling while not really an effect as much as a program is also used to imitate a certain guitar sounds that is different from the one you were just using. You press the pedal and choose the desired sound that you have programmed in. This goes along with multi-effects that combine individual effects, or allow you to mix and match according to the sound you want. This gives a depth and range that can create a whole array of different sounds.

Individual pedals have different effects, from tone to sound variations to pitch alteration to different guitar sounds. What the pedal does is allow for you, the player to create a whole world of sound and variations that will invariably delight the audience, as long as you use it right. - 18424

Emulating The XBOX 360

By Daniel Thompson

With excellent visual quality that keeps gamers entertained for hours, the Xbox 360 continues to enjoy success, just as its predecessor, the original Xbox has. Along with a huge gaming library that offers high quality games, it is not surprising that emulator developers have turned their focus on developing an Xbox 360 emulator. Emulator developers have produced emulators for other gaming consoles, so why not for the Xbox 360 as well?

XBOX 360 emulators have the same objectives as other emulators and that is to allow XBOX 360 games to be played on the PC and other devices. Due to the difficulty of porting and possibly some limitations, emulation development has solely been focused on making emulators for Windows systems.

Gaming consoles manufacturers like Nintendo and Sony, for example, make emulators less than easy for the developers. When it comes to making an Xbox 360 emulator the developers need to be able to code a program that will appear to be an actual Xbox 360 system. Because the Xbox 360 is manufactured by Microsoft it is expected that there would be no problems with emulator but figuring out how the games relate to the system has proven a rather tough problem.

Nearly perfect emulators also take years to develop including the old 8-bit and 16-bit consoles. Another challenge is making the emulator compatible with all known games and play well in good performance without bumping up the requirements too high.

This is why many of the emulators trying to emulate the later consoles are far from perfect including the original XBOX itself where there are very few emulators available and most of them have been abandoned due to lack of time or resources by the developers. Emulators are not created for profitable purposes and doing so is considered legal. Therefore, any developer must have the passion of making an emulator knowing that no money will be made unless the developer has a loyal community that gives donations.

Al tough an Xbox 360 emulator is quite possible to develop there are none available at the present moment. However, if time restraints and resources can be satisfied, it is certain that the developers will go on to produce one. One problem is finding a system that will allow the emulator to run perfectly, because the Xbox 360 uses rather advanced hardware.

Of course, it must not be overlooked that many developers are of the opinion that developing an Xbox 360 emulator simply is not worth the time that is involved. Xbox 360 has a vast gaming library and many of the games are also made to run on the computer as well.

Whether the developers will come up with an Xbox 360 emulator remains to be seen, so it is advisable that people who want to have the pleasure of Xbox 360 gaming, should first find a version for the computer. It is a fact that your hardware would not be able to handle the emulator if it cannot handle the game. To save yourself the trouble and frustration it is advisable that you purchase the original console. In this way you will have the peace of mind that you can enjoy all the games and all the fun features that come with the Xbox 360. - 18424
