Well I'm not really into effects and all kinds of pedals ect...

I just wondered if there are techniques to avoid using those

exp for delay chorus... ( again I don't know all the effects that are available)

cause I believe those effects were made on guitars before any sorts of pedals was created.

thx in advance

Dist
Simple, just crank up your amp volume way high.

Chorus
Get a few other guys to play with you

Tremolo
Just turn your volume knob quickly up and down

For other effects, I don't know.

As you see, it's possible, but not easy...

i dont think so

imagine making all te sounds of distortion, chorus, doubling ect ect

and with delay you would need like 3 guitarist playing outof time so its immposible

some effects can be done on guitar, others can't. Delay's about the only one that comes to mind, unless you count the whammy pedal (which was modeled after a whammy bar on steriods). The rest, (modulation and filters) have to be done in a studio. Chorus (which) you mentioned, can be simulated using doubled guitars, but just try that on "Come as You Are" (for sake of example)- it's not going to sound anywhere near it. Flanger is simply alterations in the tape speed that can be replicated digitally, but no way in hell can you do that on a guitar (you don't have the tape). Phaser is phase modulation, and once again, there isn't a hope in hell of doubling, then shifting the phase of your signal. Filters are controlled from a unit by their own nature, and you can try to play around with an eq to try to recreate them, but good luck. Wah's just a filter on steroids. Slower tremolos can be done with volume knob and pedal, but you have to have extreme control to pull those off, and it's much easier to buy a tremolo pedal than it is to bother with that shit.

nah, not really, ofcourse the distortion was found out by overcranking an amp, I bet heaps of amps died because of that hehe, after that they made circuits that could handle it and 'gain' knobs.

ofcourse some effects where though of in the past, and only played with guitar, but good fx pedals save you a lot of trouble nowadays.
some fx pedals where just customised into others in the past, thus creating new models, some succesfull, some still unknown.
