How effects pedals work- the science behind it

[cukaracha]

hey there

i'm curious to know more on the application of effects pedals in altering signals from an electric guitar to produce the many various sound effects; the actual science behind it.

anyone know of any sites or videos etc that might help me gain a better understanding of this topic?

thanks
