- In this tutorial I cover the basics of modulation effects and how they work. I also provide a quick demonstration of each of the modulation pedals that are currently included in the Spark Amp app. Enjoy!

Your videos are priceless. I wish I discovered them a year ago when I bought the unit. I get more from learning to dial in these various effects than I get by cycling thru presets. I wish you would have discussed EQ in this one. Thank you!
Thanks for the clear and thorough explanations
Just got my Spark 2 weeks ago. Your videos are extremely helpful. This one really helped since I knew nothing about any of the mod effects. I'm looking forward to watching more of the videos. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us who are still learning some of these basics.
That’s great Dana! I’m glad it helped you! Hearing responses like this is exactly why I started doing these in the first place!
Hi Andy, just got round to reviewing this tutorial, excellent explanations and sound demos to get a clear easy grasp of them all, thanks again. 👍
Thanks Kenny!! Appreciate the feedback!
Really good simple info re the pedals and their effects, good vid..
Thanks!!
Thanks Andy. 🤟🏻
Hi, Andy. I figured you'd go over these before long, and I've been looking forward to it, thanks! Okay, now I can go ahead and watch it. 😂😂😂
Hey I just discovered this channel me being a Spark owner! I have a question, I got to say, I love this amp. My question is there any effect pedal in the Spark works like the Digitech DROP Compact Polyphonic Drop Tune Pitch-Shifter. Let's say I'm playing heavy metal stuff, i.e., Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Halen, Guns N Roses. Can I take one of those pedals and use to lower the pitch of all the strings, like E flat tuning, D Flat, etc. Thank you very much for posting this.
Why do I find the volume so soft thru headphones on clean tones ?
This is a really long comment so feel free to skip it if you're not interested, or you have dyslexia or a reading disability that causes you to hate reading. For the rest of you (in guessing maybe 1 or 2 lol) here ya go:
- Because I started teaching myself to play guitar way back in 1964, only a couple effects pedals were being made, so I pretty much saw them all hit the market as they were invented. I thought it might be cool if I shared what I observed as it was all happening. Or not. You be the judge. So I definitely didn't see Fender's vibrato bridge come along because it was created a year or two before I was born. I don't think anyone alive today really knows why Leo called it a "tremolo system," because he definitely knew the difference between tremolo and vibrato (obviously because many of his amps had, and still have, tremolo circuit in them). I've always thought it might have had a lot to do with the competition he was up against, especially with Bigsby, and all of them were called "vibrato" bridges/systems. My best guess is that Leo called his bridge a "tremolo system" to make it seem to stand out as something new *AND* different from what everyone else was doing. The thing for me is, all the guys I jammed/formed bands with in my teens, all throughout junior high and high school called it a "vibrato bridge." We also called the bar a "vibrato bar." Calling it a "tremolo" just didn't make sense to us. The C&W guys back then called it a "wang bar." The first time I ever heard it called a "whammy bar" was shortly after floating bridges that had enough range of motion to completely slacken the strings, as well as stretch them up a few steps, and could only be seriously used with the (then) extremely innovated locking nut-type systems. Floyd Rose, and even the Kahler that was made for dive bombing only, were the early frontrunners. I don't know who coined the term, "whammy bar," but it not only sounded a lot cooler than "vibrato, tremolo," AND "wang bar," it definitely *did* things that are cooler than its predecessor.
- Another pedal that was invented during my teen years was the phase shifter. What I didn't know at the time but came to understand later, after the Air Force taught me about electronics, is that it works on the same basic principle as radar, which is the doppler effect. The doppler effect is best demonstrated with a noise emanating from a point that's moving toward or away from you, such as a train's horn, or a police siren, for example. As the sounds' sources pass by where you're standing, the pitch of the sound appears to go lower, with the key word being "appears." Obviously it doesn't change pitch because it's pitch is fixed, so what happens is, the sound waves become sort of "scrunched" together, which shifts the *phase* of the sound, resulting in a perceived increase in its frequency. Okay, only one more thing...
- Flangers. Somebody in a recording studio back in the 70s, I don't remember who, accidentally brushed up against the flange of the reel to reel tape reel he was using to record the tracks of a song, and had no idea that he had done so...until he and the band listened to it, and they thought it sounded cool AF! Brushing up against that reel's flange basically altered the inches per second (IPS) speed of the tape a little faster, then slower, then faster, etc. That obviously changes the pitch up and down a little, but not so much that it didn't sound like the intonation was way off. That producer, whoever he was, immediately began consulting with electronics engineers to find a way to get this effect electronically instead of physically, and before long, Voila!! The flanger was born.
Very cool!!!!! This is a real world history lesson!!! Thank you sir!
@@sparkamptutorials2169 thanks, Andy, it’s fun to share knowledge (which is what you do here, too,) when someone wants to know. This is nothing compared to what you’re doing with these tutorials, so it’s the least I can do. Looking forward to the next one!
Can we use 2 modulation effects at once ?
No, only one type of effect at a time
why do all these guys want to show the extreme settings
