Getting the most out of your gain pedals! #guitar #guitarpedals #distortion #fuzz #overdrive
I’ve said for a while now that I have a gain pedal problem, so it was finally time to take a long hard look at them all and decide what I should part with!

I burst out laughing at the "OCD is a transparent overdrive" bit. That thing is a beast, it's basically a light distortion. I've used it on bass a lot and if the gain is over noon it's a complete wall of dirt. Makes for a great Lemmy tone though
14:31 is glorious❤
I’m going to buy the Jykell and Hyde v3 truetone because of this video. So fucking excited thank you man.
You should have showed off the secret 4th mode on the behringer super fuzz. The one where you put the switch between fuzzes 1 and 2. Great sounds on that mode!
Have you tried the secret setting on the super fuzz ? I never liked it but I enjoy hearing what other ppl think of it
You should make more videos
Where is Kilometers Small?
I never knew he played SOOO GOOD!!!! And he totally sold me that son oh hyde:] awsome man!! I Love your videos that’s you
Definitely agree about the OCD. Sounded great in demos but left a lot to be desired. Gave it to my buddy.
Gotta recommend the MXR ‘78 distortion and a boss sd-1 in front. And also try using your pedals with zero gain, level maximum, eq to taste. Love to hear that experiment. You’re awesome
Pls pls do a Super fuzz deep dive vid!!
chuck them all. use your amp's gain. crank it
Um .. 6 gain pedals, too many? Looks at drawer dedicated to gain pedals..not sure what my current count is.
I could watch you talk about pedals all day long
Push the Bad Monkey into the Ram's Head if you haven't already! Tube Screamer going into a Big Muff is a classic trick to help cut through a mix and will get you the J. Mascis/Dinosaur Jr. sound. Great video and playing!
No HM2?….wimp
Great video but that “Van Halen”tone was… well, not close to Van Halen ????
Why does he look like Gotoh from Asian Kung-fu Generation ????????
Its definitely worth getting a Jekyll and Hyde v3 the amount of control you have over both drives makes it one of my go to pedals and with a good versatile fuzz id probably be good though I suffer from option paralysis and own like 200 pedals about half are gain options mostly fuzz circuits
Bro… you need more pedals.
Not joking. Get rid of NOTHING
Subscribing because that bad monkey demo riff rips, and because i love fellow Pacifica players
RIFF DADDY! Nice playing.
Fun video. I really love the OCD. To me it has something the others don’t. That son of hyde is a cool one too.
Boss ds1 is horrible
Hey man what amp do you use? Is it straight di or is the ac15 that sound so bright? How does the ac15 does at home volume?
thank you miles i love you
I myself have stacked my only two gain pedals, the DS-1 and the Tonebug, for nearly two years now. The DS-1 is good low end boost.
I absolutely love how we can see you have fun rediscovering why you got these pedals and why you like them in the first place
I’m from the 90’s but i couldnt stand my tone with distortion pedals. Always sounded bad to me. I used every distortion box i could find, and wasnt happy until I got a high gain amp.
My distortion pedal hate continued until last year when i got a friedman IRX its a full voltage tube pre amp in a box. Finally the tone I want in a “pedal”
In my cover band sometimes i use distortion pedals into the clean channel to get certain bands sounds, it never feels good unless I’m back to amp distortion.
I love every pedal type except distortion, thats not a pedal job.
