Why Are Certain Guitar Pedals Always The Same Color?

As a pedal designer and manufacturer, the color of a pedal has always been extremely important to me. There is an undeniable link between how a pedal sounds and what color we think it should be. Is overdrive green or is it yellow? Is compression orange or red? It's a hard choice, and it's one that you have to make. The real question is: can you make the choice? You know what you have to do. Do you have the strength to do it?
Okay, that got really dramatic really quickly. Let’s put things in perspective here. This isn’t life or death, but it is pretty dang important. In this episode, I want to do an experiment, a little game I've created called “Color and Effect.”

@mrparkinson 3 года назад

I'll be honest, I realized half way through that I just defaulted to whatever color the most common Boss pedal was. ie. Distortion, orange. Chorus, blue. Starting playing in the late 80s, Boss defined pedals or effects to me I guess.

@lundsweden 2 года назад

I'm the same, although with some exceptions: Phasers should be orange (MXR Phase 90), Tubey overdrives green (Ibanez TS9) except for the Boss Blues Driver of course. Definately baby blue fir chorus, any other color seems weird! Dark grey Metal pedals or Reverb.

@vonjunzt4130 2 года назад

MXR had an orange distortion too. Ibanez screwed it all up with the bright green tube screamer. I thought distortion/orange, overdrive/yellow, chorus/blue, delay should be green I think. MXR Carbon Copy is dark green sparkle (cool!) and the analog delay in the 70s was green. Fuzz, I agree, is silver (or bare metal). EHX has a silver fuzz, so does Boss, and most Fuzz Faces in the round case are silver (I thought)

There are always exceptions but generally... • ODs/Dist/Fuzz "Warm" colours. • Modulation "Cool" colours. • Time/Space Neutral colours. But as someone that has designed graphics on pedals, the name of the pedal can equally influence the colour.

@aidanbouw5224 3 года назад

Y’all need to get someone with synesthesia to do this. That would be even cooler

@Gainn 3 года назад

Having been involved in something like this at NAMM a few years ago people with synesthesia don't always agree on colour/sound combos. With a guitar flanger is pinky purple and reverb feels like a speckled white/pale blue. Those are the only ones I think all 5 agreed on. The majority thought echo felt silver/grey (the more open the EQ is the shinier and sharper it feels) but different sound sources muddy the waters a lot. To me most distortion effects are mostly in the red/orange/brown spectrum when subtle, but it changes to green,gold or yellow as more is dialled in. Other people saw them as black, dark red or always green and one of the girls said she tasted rust.. So it's a weird thing.

@Dani-El. 2 года назад

@@Gainn A decent Flanger is definitely deep purple-pink gradient. And tape delay is definitely silver/tungsten. Reverbs are so varied in tone and response that you would have to be more specific. Spring reverbs can be army-green or a silvery-white. Halls are mainly dark grey/brown. Rooms are white/blonde/pine. Plate reverbs are generally a pleasant variety of greys.

@samuelvargas8344 3 года назад

Since you’ve covered the psychology of color with effects, what about exploring the idea of why we’re attracted to pedals and amps that are described by associating them with food qualities? For example, creamy overdrive or syrupy chorus. I think that would be an interesting discussion.

@ciro0107 3 года назад

Jhs has an episode about guitar buzz words. And I think it has a little bit of this subject on it

3 года назад

Both associations (musical impressions with certain colors or food) has to do with a general basic ability of humans to a psychological phenomenon called "synesthesia". Reed more about it and you understand the relation. Greetings, Andreas (guitarist & psychologist, M. sc.)

@danielbrunner5878 3 года назад

@ Is Synesthesia something that everybody has at an extremely small degree except for those with full on sensory hallucinations from it? I thought the food association has something to do with the basic lack of knowledge of musical or audio terminology. So people then use what they know to describe their perception of it. Like an overdrive being chewy or beefy. I often describe tones like SRV as juicy but know that it has something to do with the bouncy bass response and clear top end (like dropping a big stone into water? I guess that has a similar audio profile). But you're the psychologist so you would know better than me on this!

@martinignaciodefeo9235 2 года назад

Boss and Line 6 have had a deep impact in our minds regarding how effects should look like and which color we associate them with. The Helix user interface respects the long trayectory of their original pedal effects. And Boss green phasers, violet flangers, light blue choruses, white noise gates, black high gain distortions, grey delays, blue compressors and brown reverbs have been a classic that I hope last forever. I own both the Helix and 15 boss pedals... They are a wonderful combination.

I pretty much associate all my color/effect connections with the first one's I bought. Chorus... light blue (Boss CE-2). Phaser... green (Boss). Flanger... Purple (Boss). Distortion... Yellow/brownish (MXR Distortion +). Overdrive... Yellow (Boss OD). Delay... White-ish (Boss delays). Pretty much Boss ruled my color/effect associations.

@lalob.fuentes7089 3 года назад

To me are: distortion - red, overdrive - green, fuzz - dark metalic, chorus - light blue, booster - white, delay - light metalic, blues driver - blue, high gain distortion - black, phaser - orange, vintage distortion or high gain overdrive - yellow.

@AndrewWukusick 3 года назад

I've always loved the whole colors for effects idea so I loved this video. Mine are like this. Distortion - Orange. The classic DS-1 Phaser - Alien Green. Phasers have always sounded alien to me. Delay - White. Same idea as Nick had. Fuzz - Bare, Copper, or Dark Orange. When I think of Fuzz I think rust. Compressor - Red. Classic DynaComp Chorus - Deep Blue. Chorus reminds me of the deep blue ocean. And for a couple others not mentioned Reverb - Sky Blue. Big sky. Flanger - Purple. Not sure why, but purple. Wah/Filter - Also Purple? EQ - Yellow Tremolo - Turquoise Overdrive - Green

Awesome vid again guys! Here are my colours: Distortion = Orange like the DS-1 Phaser = Purple for some reason, based mainly on how it sounds in my head. Delay = sky blue like the text on a DD-7 or a JHS panther cub Fuzz = Red like the text on MUFF or the Fuzz face. even more if it has an enamel hammer finish on the case for texture. Compression = white, white as hell. 'Cos it sounds like nothing, but more nothing than you had before. Chorus = Kinda yellow like the micro chorus, but mainly the blue of the CE-2 Bonus Rounds: Reverb = Light green, and I have no idea why. I think its the way it sounds in my head again. univibe = swirly combination of light blue and Neon purple. This was fun!

Growing up in Australia I became accustomed to a particular colour coding for potato chips. Green = chicken, blue = plain/salted, purple = salt 'n' vinegar, brown/orange = bbq, yellow = cheese and onion. But during my travels in Europe and Asia, I've become aware that the colour scheme is not universal. Some countries (i.e. England) have it completely 'backwards' to my experience. That said, the flavour was still the most important part.

It was defective... 😂 The output jack is shorted or loose. No big deal, it is being replaced. When it works it does a great job. Fender should include it will all of the Hot Rod line of amps.

Spent ages on this, so I hope Josh reads it 😁 My (very wine connoisseur sounding) colour perceptions of effects: Distortion - Brown/Black. Hard to decide, but it's a dark colour to me, but one that's also non- distinct. It's a dark night drinking in the woods. Phaser/Flange - Orange. I always feel phase evokes the mental image of a sunset to me, and all the bright tints of orange that has. Delay - Blue. Makes me think of the sky, or vast salt flat deserts. Vast wilderness type terrains. Also outer space to an extent with Neptune etc. Fuzz - Silver/bare metal. I'd agree with Nick here. Fuzz feels like something very raw and unadorned. Like a chainsaw or a rusty old abandoned factory you go urbexing in. Compression - White. While compression does indeed colour sounds, I feel its white because it seems neutral, doesn't get in the way. It's an office window vibe to me. Octave/Pitch Shift - red. Definitely red. Like a tube amp running hot enough to see the tubes inside burning, or a furnace with bright flames. Reverb - Yellow/Green. Reverb comes across to me as something brights, especially spring reverb, which I would say is yellow in particular. It's like the middle of the day during heat wave in a rural area. Chorus - Dark blue. I think Chorus always makes me think of being underwater, or hearing a river nearby. It's that trickling sound. Kinda sickly but also nostalgic. As for a Weezer colour? Pinkerton, I guess. IDK, I'm not really into Weezer much. Anyway, those are my colour perceptions. Would love to know if anyone else feels the same.

I think color is more important on an individual level. Say, for instance, when Im about to step on the king of tone and look down at that super dark red...it just instills this incredible level of confidence/inspiration in what’s about to happen. Same goes with any pedal really...ready for some chorus? Ok, let’s go blue and I KNOW this is gonna be amazing. It really is more important than you’d think. Part of the playing experience is personal expression and when you have “products” at your feet that instill confidence on every level (sound, build quality, appearance, “vibe”) it just inspires you to play “better” and sometimes more creatively. The look and color is a part of that, whether or not we want to admit it.

This video made me realize I associate effects to whatever colour Boss uses, even though I haven't owned these Boss pedals in 20 years. I use an HXFX now and I changed all the colours to match this scheme: Distortion - orange (DS-2 Turbo Distortion) Phaser - green (PH-2 Super Phaser) Delay - white (DD-3 Digital Delay) Fuzz - bare metal - literally couldn't have said it better than Nick (also the FZ-3) Compressor - blue (CS-2 Compression Sustainer) Chorus - light blue (CE-5 Chorus Ensemble)

so much where to start. Favorite part of episode seeing the room in panarama glory. Future show idea do a room tour .OMG the drawers have pedals in them. Ok i'm back the color of flanger white with black Van Halen stripes. Please tell me at least one of those songs was named scarf mystery : ) Best weezer pinkerton always pinkerton ,so miss understood.

@josebarahona7114 3 года назад

Wow, once i heard distortion my mind went to orange and black too, but mostly because of the governor and the DS-1. and thats where the similarities ended lol. phaser: red delay: silver, or green. fuzz: Silver (or bare so im with nick on this one) compression: Blue (boss) Chorus: Baby blue (Ch-1) completely forgot of the lavender iterations. This was such a great episode, as someone who obsessively looks at the aesthetics of pedals as a factor for purchase as well as their functions, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

@MarcCoteMusic 3 года назад

My pedal experience began with an early big muff in the late 70s, but was quickly followed by a Boss PH-1 (which I still have) and other Boss pedals. Although I had some MXR stuff - the Micro-Amp comes to mind - Most of my pedals were Boss, so those are the colours for me. I had the OD-1, so yellow is overdrive, the DS-1, so orange is distortion, the PH-1, so phaser is green (not MXR orange for me, sorry), the BF-2, so flanger is fuschia, and so on.

@michellindeman 3 года назад

I realise you said iconography at 15:25, but I kinda misheard and now I feel that eyeconography should be a word... Great vid, such an underappreciated aspect of effect pedals.

@DurvalLacerda 3 года назад

Music is emotion and colors and design triggers emotions. So you are god damn right I'm going to buy a lot of pedals from EarthQuaker Devices and Walrus Audio (and JHS, of course)

@Mark70609 3 года назад

I wouldn't let presentation stop me from buying a pedal. A great pedal is great regardless of it's presentation.

@ikesours6558 3 года назад

I don't consider myself OCD or anything but I like a pedalboard to be varied in color. I'm like this too about song titles. I think it's cool to have maybe two songs back to back that start with, say "s" but I wouldn't want 3 s titles on a set or album. Anyway, here's a couple of my ideas for expanding the list on just a couple effects not mentioned: Flanger = Purple Envelope Filter = Green Tremolo = Yellow/Gold/Cream Synth = Multiple colors as long as neon plays a role Ideal Weezer IS Blue.

@prophet8photo 3 года назад

I think the tunes you wrote for this episode should be the foundation for the first EP you guys produce. It’s more groundbreaking than the white stripes.

Distortion - Green and Black(Even though the only distortion pedal I ever saw when I first started playing guitar in the early '90's was a Boss, I guess I think green. I love green about as much as I love black.) Phaser - Red(TC Electronics Blood Moon - It's the only phaser I could possibly afford.) Delay - Blue(Memory Man) Fuzz - Silver or Bare Metal (Big Muff) Compression - White(I have no idea why.) Chorus - Blue(Boss. I have an unhealthy love of The Cure and Robert Smith.) Nice Tears for Fears shirt, Josh.

Scary, I went the same as Nick on every pedal. That said I think you should do a JHS "50 shreds of green" range of pedals 😉

In my oponion Distortion: Orange (all boss distortion pedals) Phaser: Green (boss) Delay: White (all digital delay of boss Fuzz: Metalic and red (big muff, converge fuzz pedal, univox, fuzzface, boss) Compressor: i'm not a fan of this pedal but to me is orange Chorus: Purple (Ibanez, Dimension c, Small clone) Pedal color plus Reverb: Blue (Slö, Cathedral, holy grail)

@jonathancarlisle7898 3 года назад

Fun episode! I'll throw my two cents in, and admit that BOSS pretty much sets what any color SHOULD be. Distortion: Orange (DS-1) Phaser: Blue (DOD 201 Phasor), but feel like the correct answer should be orange Delay: White/Blue; although that BOSS DM-2 plum(?) is iconic, I'm rolling with the DOD Rubberneck and Empress Echosystem. Fuzz: Silver; I stand with Nick. Compressor: Blue (CS-2) Chorus: Blue (CE-2)

@nym053 2 года назад

For Associations to color of fx. Distortion: black, deep blue and red. Phaser: orange (phase 90), black (Eventide Instant Phaser) or silver grey with red and black (Small Stone). Delay: deep blue (flashback), white (clear repeats. Associations to clear studio tape-like delays), Plum/pink/magenta-ish color (several bbd pedals). Black Fuzz: purple, red, orange-brown. Compression: white, black, red, grey (studio racks) Chorus: light blue/teal/turqoise and lavender/light purple Bonus - Overdrive: yellow, cream, light brown, sand, light orange, any shade of green (tubescreamer) and deep blue (t-rex alberta)
