Hello!
I am a musician from Toronto! I like making music and building+experimenting with cool guitar effects. I share bits of guitar advice and philosophy with those looking to level up guitar playing and music creation. I also enjoy building up smaller artists with my indie artist feature series and curating Spotify playlists to spread their music/other music I enjoy. I use my online presence to spread a sense of wonder about guitar and the endless possibilities of sound. Hope you enjoy!
- Jordan :)

Loving the Distortion, it's got the clean-ish tone on top and a hint of balls underneath that makes it sludgy and grungy without being muddy or sloppy like the fuzz

My man have you ever heard obituary, or any old school death metal bands for that matter? They used more fuzzy distorted sounds often. Also nobody that isnt a musician even likes djent tone outside of meshuggah fans but they own it better. The excessive midrange of djent sounds like shit on any decent PA system and there's no bass presence in their mixes so it's pretty lame overall.

Overdrive for me, followed by Distortion. Though I never have my overdrive's drive knob lower than halfway. I like the sound of a good cranked overdrive when it's almost reaching Distortion level tones. Fuzz is a no no for me. Too harsh, rarely sounds good to my ears.

@chrisorrell3066 Жыл бұрын

I like the fuzz. When I was younger I didn’t like it at all. Then I thought I’d buy one and try it. Now if you turn it up and have your guitar volume all the way up it’s a no no. To messy and very muddish. I turn the gain to about 3 o’clock and then use my guitar volume to manipulate the tone and it sounds really good. Kinda they way Hendrix did I believe and all the old boys
