If you pluck a string, it vibrates. Simple. Have you ever wanted to know what the vibrations look like? These pictures will give you a clear visualization. Shout out to Mike S. for sending me this. Thanks Mike!

Distortion Pedals and Reverb Pedals; Changing the Signal Flow
The possibilities are endless with guitar pedals. These are just two. The first picture, directly below, describes a common signal path for a distortion pedal and a reverb pedal. Since the reverb comes after the distortion, the result is that the distorted guitar sounds like it is in a hall or canyon (depending upon the reverb pedal settings):
The second picture describes something even more interesting. When the pedal order is reversed, reverb before distortion, the result is that the distortion naturally makes any reverberation trails completely totally audible. In other words, where previously the reverb gradually faded, this time the reverb is completely loud all the way to the end. Distortion naturally makes every single squeak and sqwak louder, thus it's quite a compressor. The sound is really in your face:
The first one? Good for Van Halen. The second? Making your neighbor angry and your cat run out of the room. Either way, fun.
