Would You Run Your Overdrives & Boosts Like This? [Three Gain Stages & The Truth]

Video Description

Dan likes to run his drives and boosts waaaay loud. What about you? Welcome to the show! Dear Daniel is in the chair today, sharing a revelation that he found lodged in his grey matter. What about using three ‘gain stages’ (a new fancy-ass term we seem to be using for overdrives, distortions, boosts and fuzzes) to stack for endless variations of dirt and volume? For sure we have covered the topic of gain stacking many times before (many many many times) but there’s always a new way to present it that may spark new ideas and revelations of your own. Let’s stack ’em up and make some noise. Enjoy the show!
