nope, you'd need to run them in series! parallel with the same transfer function gives you the same sound but at twice the amplitude (about 1.3x the loudness)

One time at college one of my buddies decided it would be fun to stack all the overdrive type pedals we could find in the dorm. We ended up with I think four pedals, including one Metal Zone, one Digitech Bad Monkey, and his multieffects pedal, all with the gain all the way up, and his amp also had the drive knob all the way up. While actually playing the guitar, the notes were recognizable, but any silence in between was mutilated by absurd amounts of feedback.

@tracfones7silver406 Жыл бұрын

This is the best of the OD-200 reviews because it focuses on the combinations of sounds available, and there's a lot more going on than Colin goes into. For example, putting one of the high-gain pedals in parallel with a fuzz yields the aggressive attack of the metal pedal and the sustaining overtones of the fuzz. It's a really interesting type of metal sound that no other pedal I know of can pull off.

Thanks for this video. I had not really explored effectively how to use the stacking methods. This vid was really useful and has made this pedal really fun for quickly trying multiple settings. Having owned many of these pedals previously, having all the pieces (interfaces between them defined\able, sequencing, and the very effective noise gate) in one unified package and your great tips on settings to try, has really launched this kit for me.

That pedal is simply awesome for its versatility within the realm of gain, which is a complex tone category in itself. I love the combination of analogue and digital, which is brilliant, and how the pedal really lets you stack distortion tones and balance them out perfectly. I love the more 70s and 80s tones you can get with one, having tried one my friend owns. I'll be getting one for sure as my next pedal.

TATA: What is transparent overdrive?

@Yorie1234 4 жыл бұрын

it's an overdrive that has a see-through case... but more seriously, it is an overdrive where the original guitar sound is still recognizable. i think.

@sparkplug1018 4 жыл бұрын

Answer: A unicorn. The ideal answer would be an overdrive that doesn't change the tone in any way at all, in other words it doesn't make its presence known. As far as I know though, no one has nailed this completely as they all do at least a little to the tone. The trick is of course picking one who's effect you like.

@TimO-wt9sz 4 жыл бұрын

The term transparent od is meaning a light drive that just coulees you’re clean tone aka I can hear the clarity through that crispy dynamic smooth goodness lmao I’m serious though .collin help me lol

@petersage5157 3 жыл бұрын

The term was coined by Bill Finnegan for how the Klon Centaur/KTR works. It's basically a hard clipping distortion pedal with an adjustable bit of the clean sound blended in. Think of it as a clean boost and a distortion pedal run in parallel.
