I'm preparing a set of songs to play with my grandson and number of them (sorry to give away my age here) like Only You, Blueberry Hill, and even Chantilly Lace, feature chords played on a piano in a rather staccato rhythm four or even eight to the bar. If readers remember the songs (by the Platters, Fats Domino and the Big Bopper respectively) that's the style to which I refer.
My question is whether there's a pedal that can make my guitar sound anything like that?
I imagine it would be rather like a vibrato in which the 'quiet' part of the vibrato would cut out almost completely, combined with an element of reverb.
I realise that trying to describe a sound effect in words is a bit like describing in writing a Chinese character. Because I wouldn't be able to make extensive use of this pedal I'm looking at the lower price market rather than a sophisticated device that would probably make hundreds of other effects as well.

Guitarists playing that sort of music would just strum eighth notes. It's harder than it looks.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
