DUDE! This video has insanely helpful info in it that I've never considered before. I always thought that the more volume/dirt pedals you add, the louder it gets until the amp can't handle it anymore. (which is still kinda true in a way). I tried experimenting with a Boss DS-2 with all settings maxed (John Frusciante style) into my Twin Reverb and the volume jump was OUTRAGEOUS. Totally unusable - and I thought the only solution to this was a different amp, until I placed a pre-amp pedal after my DS-2 and noticed there was some sort of "cap" or "ceiling" in which my volume couldn't get any louder, despite maxing all the settings on my DS-2. The pre-amp was almost acting like a compressor when I pushed it that hard. I knew something was happening but I didn't really understand how it was working until I watched this video. Thanks for making another banger vid! :)

I would add a sixth technique: put an equalizer after your pedal After I started using equalizers I started to have access to incredible tones, sometimes making a single pedal sound like 5 different ones, with a 5-band equalizer it's already very good, currently I use a 10-band one and I get very interesting tones, besides that I can adapt the distortion depending on the amplifier's behavior

I had that exactly idea of overdriving non distortion pedals, inspired by the brian may thing of using a tape deck pre amp. I stacked two boss EQs and pushed both to max gain, with the bonus of frequency shaping, can get everything from some overdrive to full on fuzz.

Dude you nailed the conversational differences of the pedals... I agree they are all distortions but they way it's used and the way it's designed to be used are crucial - the comment you made about effects loops is spot on and the idea of overdrives working with the amp sound vs the distortion pedals printing onto a clean speaker is the key application difference. Then you have fuzz that throws all of this out the window as its part of the actual guitar for so many players.

I just transitioned my guitar rig from mono to stereo, and I'm playing around with using different overdrive/distortion pedals in parallel. Before both sides of dirt (one overdrive + one distortion + one fuzz, though not all on at the same time usually), I run my signal into a stereo chorus with dual LFOs, so everything sounds MASSIVE. I'm just trying to set up the L/R dirt pedals to be complimentary right now though.

Good to see the 5150 get some love. This is one of those "desert island" pedals that can do everything really well in most set ups. What are your pro tips on running parallel drives?
@CyberattackWorld3 ай бұрын
Yeah the 5150 rules. OK for parallel drives, I think the basic thing is to combine sounds that are different-like two mid-boosting overdrives in parallel is pointless. It's cooler to run a distortion and a fuzz, or a bit crusher and an overdrive, etc. I talk a little about this in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndtyoalqqZ6lqas.html But I actually think double-tracking is more straightforward and probably sounds better than running multiple drives in parallel. Obviously you can't do it live, but when it comes to recording, the variations you get in performance across the two takes is super interesting and has a bigger overall effect in my opinion than the benefits of adding to a distortion sound with a different distortion in parallel. You can also emphasize making the double-tracked performances different in ways that are interesting. For example, in pro-tips 2 and 5 in this video, I use different chord voicings across the two takes, and it makes the whole thing sound a little cooler. That's more subtle than the Randy Rhoads thing of putting certain notes a half step apart, which is totally bananas. But the idea of stacking chords in slightly different ways across a double-tracked performance can be fun and adds some force to whatever you're doing.
