5 Tips How to Connect a Guitar Pedal

We would like to tell few tips about guitar effect pedals. Some times we may trouble to play with guitar effects pedal. Now one who no needs to worry about that kind problem below the ultimate tips helps you a lot to play with guitar pedal. Guitar pedals, sometimes called effects pedals or the less formal “stomp boxes,” are devices that alter the electronic signal produced from an electric guitar and therefore change its tone. Read the guide below to learn how to connect a guitar pedal properly.

Locate the input and output jacks on the guitar pedal. Most pedals will have only 2 jacks – one labeled “Input,” and another labeled “Output.” These jacks are usually located on opposite sides of the pedal’s body, and are built to accept a standard quarter-inch (6 mm) audio cable.


Run a cable from your guitar to the effects pedal. Plug one end of an audio cable into your guitar’s cable jack. Plug the other end of this cable into your pedal’s input jack. Run a cable from your pedal to your amplifier. Plug a second cable into the output jack of your effects pedal. Plug the other end of this cable into your amp’s input jack (the same jack into which you would plug your guitar directly). You can now turn your amp on and use the effects pedal.

Connect several pedals in sequence if desired. If you want to use multiple guitar pedals at once, you can connect them each in sequence. Using a short audio cable called a “patch” cable, connect the output jack of the first pedal to the input jack of the second pedal. Continue this sequence as needed, finally connecting the last pedal’s output jack to your amplifier.
