Modulation effects are one of our pedalboard’s essentials. But where do they come from and what do they do? We explore the history of modulation, from amps and studio hardware to compact stompboxes ...

This is thanks to what’s called the Doppler effect – the way speed affects the length of waves, such as sound or light. When ...

This effect is the Doppler effect. The speed gun was originally developed during World War II for military use and applies the effect using radio waves rather than sound waves. A speed gun has a ...

This is thanks to what’s called the Doppler effect – the way speed affects the length of waves, such as sound or light. When light changes colour due to speed, we call it redshift or blueshift ...

In simple terms, the Doppler effect is the phenomenon that distorts the siren of an ambulance as it drives past you. Sound waves are compressed as the vehicle speeds toward you and spread out as ...

This effect is most commonly noticed with sound waves, an example of which is the apparent lowering in pitch of an ambulance siren as the vehicle moves past. The Doppler Effect is also used in devices ...

RADAR stands for RAdio Detecting And Ranging and as indicated by the name, it is based on the use of radio waves. Radars send out electromagnetic waves similar to wireless computer networks and mobile ...
