Special Effects
Electronic gadgets and gimmicks are a standard part of the rock equipment catalog, established during the last six or seven years as an integral part of the rock sound. The initial novelty of a volume control pedal which the guitarist could pump rapidly with his foot to attain a wah-wah-wahing sound quickly became an accepted part of the act, used by giants like Hendrix and Sly Stone to make new sound.
