1994 Yamaha GW10 #KH02106
If you visited guitar stores in the '90s, you almost certainly plugged into multi-effect processors like the Yamaha GW10. Who needs a whole pedalboard when you can have a quirky hunk of plastic with lights, switches, and a wah-wah pedal? For a couple of years, multi-effect processors were all the rage. Nowadays, pedals like the GW10 provide the obvious '90s nostalgia, but they can also be a lot of fun for exploring sounds. Sure, the digital possibilities available today are endless, but there's something refreshing about the simplicity of the GW10. It's a Saturday afternoon in a box. When you break it down, the GW10 essentially lets you run up to three different effects simultaneously, and then you have, real‑time control of various parameters on each effect. Basically, there are three blocks of effects to choose from: Distortion, Chorus, and Delay. Within each block, you can switch between effect types, and then the three knobs can be used to adjust three parameters on each effect.
