so why are those little boxes that apply distortions to audio signals called "guitar pedals" anyway? they don't usually involve pedals, do they?

@Felthry if you're performing with a guitar live on stage with just the two hands, your options are limited for applying effects live - either you'd need something head mounted (which can be clearly seen by the audience), or you'd need something that uses your legs like a pedal

@Dex yeah but we've seen some of these, they always seem to have knobs if anything at all
