Guitar Stompbox
How do you apply/record the manual wah pedal effect to a guitar track in garageband? Thanks a lot.?
I have recorded a guitar track, using the microphone input and adding amp simulation and effects after recording. I want to add a wah-wah effect using the stompbox settings, but to ‘play’ the pedal you need to use the mouse to scroll to rock the pedal up and down. How can I apply this effect to the track when the track has already been recorded and I can’t play the guitar and use the mouse at the same time?
Thanks a lot.
As a former sound man and current Bass player I’d recommend mic’ing the amp as opposed to running direct. I like the ambiance you get from the room and anything you do to color the sound is recorded to get the max feeling out of the song while your playing.

What do I need to connect pedals to my guitar and amp?
I play electric guitar but have never bought any pedals as my amp has loads of effects anyway but I’m planning to buy a couple in the near future to expand my sound, but it’s just occurred to be that I don’t know what to d with them.
Do I connect the pedal using wires like the one I use to connect the guitar and amp so it goes guitar-pedal-amp? Won’t that leave a lot of excess wire if I have to add in a whole lead for one stompbox? I know there are things called pedalboards, do I need one af those and what do they do? Will I need to buy an adapter to attach the pedal to main electricity?
Could someone please tell me about these things?
Ok, any pedal you have will have an input and an output, so it’s like a link in your signal chain. If for example you buy an overdrive pedal, then you could link it to your guitar as the input using one “wire” (usually called a 1/4″ cable or a lead, wire is pretty non specific) and your amp as the output using another. You can buy shorter leads called patch cables so as not to make a mess, you’ll find that you want a long lead from your guitar to your first pedal, and from your last pedal to your amp and short ones between each pedal and that chain would go Guitar>pedal 1 input>pedal 1 output>pedal 2 input>pedal 2 output>amp and you would need three cables and that increases for each additional pedal of course.
Not all pedals come supplied with an adaptor, as often guitarists already have one in mind (as I’ll come to in a second) so you may have to buy one separately. For multiple pedals it may be impractical to have a separate power supply for each of them which is where pedalboards come in. A pedalboard is basically a way of tidily and securing your pedals and getting them all powered, at their most simple they’re literally just boards that you can fix your pedals to (making multiple pedals much tidier and easier to set up at gigs etc) and some have built in power supplies with multiple jacks- so that you don’t need one for each of them (whilst most pedals use the same jack and voltage, there are many exceptions which do not, and so they will require separate supplies). A typical pedalboard will look something like this http://www.dolphinstreet.com/uploads2/pedalboard_2005.jpg
The idea is that you have got your pedalboard sitting ready to go and all you need to do is attach a guitar at one end and an amp at the other which means for a speedier set up at a gig.
Well, those are the basics covered there’ll be loads more questions once you do buy some pedals such as which combinations work best in which order in the chain, which should be in an effects loop if your amp has one etc. but the best way to deal with those ones is experimentation just to see what happens. Good luck on your way to tone heaven!
