What are some of your favourite Effects or Effects Pedals that are used in Rock or Metal music?
I’ll go first. One of my favourite Effects that is used is a loop pedal. The ability to create looping sections of music live that you can layer up is always interesting to me and certainly creates sound interesting pieces of music.

I always loved playing around with my E-Bow. It’s a fun sound to use when you want that permanent, sustained drone (it’ll last as long as the battery lasts). Not many bands have used it, but I know the Mission did on their early albums and I believe the Church used one at the end of “Tantalized”.
For bass and guitar, I have always been partial to a chorus pedal as long as it doesn’t “worble” (“technical” term, LOL).
Flange was fun for a spell, as is the Wahwah pedal.
Back when I still played, I liked to just sit around and improvise at times. My little programmable Fender G-Dec amp was a hoot for that sort of stuff. It provided effects for the guitar, plus programmable basslines, and percussion. I found about them from a friend who was a session guitarist.
Yesterday I listened and sang along to Boston’s Third Stage album for the millionth time since December 1987 😂
How I could I gave forgotten Tom Scholz’s Rockman Guitar Processor?! 🎸🤓🤘

The wah wah pedal. Or as I like to think of it, the foot-operated EQ sweep filter. It can:
Give you that throaty “cocked-wah” sound
Similarly, many will serve as a treble booster if left on fully down
Sweep to just the correct freq. to encourage feedback to jump out
Do the jaw-harp/Jews-harp thing where you seem to be playing a tune with a sustained or feedback note
Does the wacka-wacka funk thing
Vocalize playing
The wah is kind of out of style right now, but I still have one on my board.
