Whilst in traffic on the way home my idle mind started wandering.
What order were effects invented/discovered in and do you think there are any left to be invented.
As things like the wah effect were discovered by accident (messing about with a tone control made a noise like the mute on a trumpet I seem to remember), I assume there must be sounds that are waiting to be stumbled upon but I wonder what they could be, or do you think everything's been done. Presumably before the late seventies nobody had dreamt of a sound like a synth so what's the next big thing, and what was the last big breakthrough in effects pedal sounds, probably was the synth pedal I suppose.
What was the first effect, chorus, reverb or delay maybe?
Too many questions, educate me
