Effects Pedals
Do guitar effects pedals work for bass also?

My lead guitarist has lots of different effects pedals, and he and I were wondering if we could use them for my bass. Would it mess something up? We were afraid to try because we thought it might do something.

They will work. Sounding OK might be a different matter!

Some effects have different versions to use with bass, and it may be worth taking a look.

Can someone explain effects pedals and how they work with electric violin?

I just purchased an electric violin and now I'm researching other accessories. How do effects pedals work? Where would they plug in on an electric violin? Would you need an amp as well? If so, how do they connect simultaneously? Which specific brands are good for electric violin?

I have a yamaha SV130 violin.

Hmm, I haven't had experience with electric violins, but i have with pedals. You will definitely need an amp and speakers.

I don't know about violins, but with guitars you have two kinds of amp/speaker choices:

One is where you can buy and amp which can be plugged into any speaker, with this you can mix and match, but the equipment is hard to transport.

Or you can get a combo, which is an amp and speaker in one, this way is much neater but your stuck with your amp and speaker.

As for plugs, you'll have a cord running from you violin, into a pedal (left side) then a separate cord will come out the other side and into any other plugs and into the amp.

Hope this helps
