Overdrive: "OK, I like the sound you've got, but I'm here to push that sound and make you work harder!"
Distortion: "OK buddy, I hear what you're trying to do, but I think I can do a better job. When you ask me to get involved, it's just me. Cool?"
Fuzz: " I don't care about you or your sound. Seriously mate, when I get involved I'm gonna do whatever I want and I don't care what you think."
Music store Newcastle in Northern Ireland?
😀
Clean: "What are you gonna do to me?!?"
This homie is the best. His energy just makes me want to play more guitar. What a boss.
This guy IS Rock n Roll 😂😂🤘🤘
Overdrive= Upset
Distortion= Angry
Fuzz= Ape Mode
So, basically Fuzz is when Saiyan see the full moon??
That's funny and a good description.
Concise. Nice.
fuzz is just bass boosted pedals
oh my god another dagan video I love dagan wtf he just belts out licks like they're nothing 😭
Late to the party on this one, but this is an excellent explanation on the differences between OD and distortion. Thanks Dagan!
Overdrive: Adds to your tone
Distortion: Replaces your tone
Fuzz: Screw your tone, there is only Zull.
Zull! Awesome comment. Lmao!!!
I enjoyed that. Stuff a tube screamer into a big muff and the world is a wonderful place!
Great video! Only thing I want to add is: Put your fuzz as the very first thing in your chain (yes even in front of your tuner, especially if it's buffered). They do weird things otherwise. They don't sound like they are supposed to sound. Not necessarily worse, I think they do but that's subjective.
There are fuzz friendly buffers and wah pedals. It's better but still not the same as when you put it as the first thing in your chain.
But I'm just a guy on the Internet so go and experiment :D
I ended up having a EHX Micro Pog and Caline widowmaker bass drive before my wah. after the wah I added a Boss TU-3 due to its buffer, then my EHX Big Bass Muff. Bass drive is almost always on. for some reason it just gives more life to my Bass muff and my Rickenbacker Bass sounds downright killer
@@hobowithabass4034 Big Muff circuits are the expetion there. They use 4 diods for clipping. Instead of the two or three like a fuzz face or tone bender style circuit. Makes them a lot less succcepteble to buffers and the like. But in my opinion they also don't clean up as nicely either, with your volume pod.
As a complete novice I’ve come for the information, but I’m staying for the Dagan entertainment and charm 👌🏼🤙🏼. Love the videos, guys. Informative and entertaining.
You always play that black star. Is that what you use to gig? Or what is your gig rig. Be cool to see your rig run down!
I think it's called intermodulation distortion when two notes together with one being bent upwards, makes a tone go downwards at the same time. Intermodulation distortion. I learned that word because I made a hi-fi subwoofer, and in the context of subwoofers, intermodulation distortion is a no-no.
Been playing for several years and used a lot of pedals. The ProCo RAT is awesome! Great playing and video demo. Thanks Dagan, you rock.
Good stuff Dagan, you're the man. Hey, the next step from this could be a rough guide to gain stacking maybe? I'd be particularly interested in mixing o/d with each of distortion and fuzz. 🤘🏼
You do a great job of unraveling this mystery. Many thanks!
Awesome video ... You rock Dagan 😎 I recently got back playing guitar again and I am currently updating my rig and your videos gave me alot great choices and great information about setting up and how to set it up very informative. So a big thanks and keep it up we need to inspire more people to play and your doing a great job bro 🎸🤘
Thanks so much! Amazing video and awesome tone!
Another awesome video Dagan 👍 as a novice player your videos have been incredibly informative. And entertaining 😀 keep up the good work 🤘🏻
Allways as usual, funny and instructive . Nice job!
Somehow I love listening to Dagan explaining stuffz.
Love the energy and the enthusiasm :)
another brilliant choice of subject - great channel
Go for the Plumes Earthquaker it's fire .👌
The Rat used to have a 2 channel rack unit called the Rat R2DU. I ran one of those through a Marshall JCM 100 and used both channels at the same time. It came with a foot switch so I could stop on both at once to turn it off and go fully clean channel, then stomp on both to get a massive metal distortion sound. Was awesome.
Thanks for explaining, specially for me being an ultra beginner
Learned a lot as I am trying to chase a tone with my marshall jvm410h and gibson guitars. Got the Boss Sd-1. Pretty impressive.
Great video and playing, could you do a vid on an effect processor like the GT 100 and how to get the best sound using the amplifier models and overdrive pedals
Love the DS1 and the Rat. Great playing and explanation. Cheers from NY, USA.
That’s a really nice Sg
Dig that intro
That tube screamer looks killer. I have the sparkly red anniversary ts808
Great video! Just one thing... as an obsessive Frusciante fanboy I have to say that he actually uses the DS-2, no the DS-1. He used to have a DS-1 on his pedalboard until the Californication era, but his signature sound comes from the DS-2.
You know what Dagan? I initially headed up to a musical instrument shop to buy Earthquaker devices "Westwood" (two days ago). Yes I was interested by havin some kind of "enhanced" overdrive. In the afternoon, I headed back and asked to hear how the "Santa ana" was sounding like. Once the seller plugged it in the amp, I was literally under the "charm" of it. Once demoed, I changed my mind and went for it. The best part is that I have no regrets about it.
Most of my gear is made from Electro Harmonix. So why not a Fender od won't have its place in the set?
Since then, I explore all of the possible ways to get the best from that particular overdrive. And don't regret of having bought it. If I'd make the same choice back? I'd certainly go for it without any doubt.
Your videos are still enjoyable to watch. Thumbs up and keep it up
Cheers from Belgium ;)
How funny. I'm watching this exactly one year after this video was uploaded. I like when that happens.
I’m thirsty for another pedal! And I just got a reverb and Tube Screamer! Lol. I’m addicted.
Thanks for the vid my friend, super helpful and informative. Is your accent Irish? Doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but am now preoccupied with trying to pinpoint it ;P
I always tell people. To check an MXR Distortion + or DOD 250 preamp. I build a clone myself. It works as a distortion, however it is more or less an Overdrive. If you turn the gain down. It also works great into a clean amp to immulate an overdrive channel. Simple and works well with other pedals in that low gain scenario. It's a hard clipper like the centaur. Pretty crazy if you compare it so soft clipper like a ts2 for example.
What order in your chain would you place O/D, distortion, & fuzz? Yes, I know the whole "if it sounds good to you" rule.
Dagan always gives a Russell Brand vibe, and its delightful
Love how he randomly chucks in a bond theme
Should be 555,000,000 likes and views for this video.
Got my hands on a 1984 peavey rock master 120 ,,, love the tone but not enough gain ,,, what pedal recommendation would u say would be good to add more gain ??
I have a preferance for a big muff fuzz
It's been a while since!!!
The Rat is unreal with a vox ac amp!
Could you review the Ernie Ball Expression overdrive?
Amazing video! Does the boost from overdrives have the same effect on a solid state amp as it would on a tube amp?
Great question! It will certainly drive the amp a bit harder, but will colour the tone a bit more and add a "sound". Overdrive pedals like the Tubescreamer are better used with valve/tube amps as they push the amp valves into saturation, but you'll get a nice boost with some colouration. either way. -Lee
There's a Jim Root signature on the wall and I want it
@PMTVUK I have a Hot Rod amp which with a Bugera attenuator of $ 100 gives me more natural compression, sustain, harmonics, and feedback than overdrive or distortion pedals. I have a Blackstar HT5R MKII of 5 Watts which without attenuator gives me even a more lovely tone. Please explain me what I am not understanding.
is that the Jim Root Tele sig in the background
Torn between rat and ds1. Seems the rat is more versatile but ds1 seems thicker. Like all music from extreme to gary moore so which one is best? Help👍
Feel like I recognise that intro riff 😂
Good riff that 😉
Dude I really want a RAT now
i use a ts9 as a clean boost into a ds-1 and a big muff, shakes the foundations
Fuzzes are the best 😎
15:01 my first pedal
No one ever talks about the best OD, the sparkle drive mod, fine with me though I'll keep my sweet tones to myself :3
Is overdrive with boost a distortion?
This guy is class pmsl🤣
18:12 ''You can use it subtly though, obviously.'' - Goes on to make another mad fuzz riff with no subtlety at all.
They all go to 11!!!
Justin Hawkins of the Darkness uses a RAT.
Started the BIG WAR OF PEDALS! Here are the opponents: Team Of Three OVERDRIVE PEDALS (applause), Team Of Three DISTORTION PEDALS (applause), and the Team Of... oh, TWO fuzz pedals (laugh/boo)
A same that you didn’t took the boss blues driver for a spin
I already know this but Sagan is so was lmao
the fuzz face sounds synthy at times. bonkers
15:07 20:02
is that Fuzz Face modded? it seems extra spitty? or is it me?
Sounds like somebody's using it to play the loud guitar parts of Veruca Salt's Forsythia. 🤔
There are several “mini” fuzz faces available, each modelled on the originals of different eras.
The “blue” used here I believe is based on the 70’s model which had a more aggressive, dirty tone!
If your planning on buying one I suggest you find somewhere that all of them in stock and trying them out to see which suits your style best!
Blue is an early 70s silicone. The red is late 60s germanium. Red with white knobs is different.
I have a silicon fuzz face style pedal aswell (jhs smiley) and when I crank both knobs all the way up it sounds similar but not quite as extrem. That said I don't have humbucker guitar so might be that. And different amp - so preamp might react differently to that overload.
The other thing it might be is that Dagan likes his trusty boss tuner. Don't know if he has in the chain but if so it's probably the first thing in the chain. And fuzz faces hate buffered signals. They do weird things if you hit them with anything that isn't your direct guitar signal.
the rat pedal lmao it should be call ratt way to cool for jr.
Lol. Nothing about that Fuzz Face was subtle!
As a owner of that blue fuzz face, i can tell yall it does not sound like that
Other amp and guitar
26 second. That’s how long I lasted watching this.
Youre using a cool amp..but it sounds sucks..
I had to slow the video 50% to slow down his overdrive speaking...
All the pedals are AMAZING, but The fuzz face is terrible bro, horrible sound.
