Don’t mind the cables… SD-1 is an amazing pedal as well

[grim osprey]

[prime kestrel]

[blazing narwhal]

It’s a multitude lol

The one in the output side is short it just looks super long

[grim osprey]

ah ok

[oak gust]

whats the difference between overdrive and distortion?

[vocal aspen]

overdrive is milder

especially the sd-1, it just colors your tone a bit

thou if you put the drive higher it can defo do some distortion

[dark storm]

Distortion has a much more condensed sound while over drive is more loose what kind of music do you want to play with it?

[oak gust]

Rock, mainly queen the eagles stuff like that

Guns and roses

Maybe metal

[dark storm]

So I would suggest the distortion for that overdrive is more country and blues

[oak gust]

Do you know by any chance what does Brian may use?

[dark storm]

No sorry

You could try googling it

Overdrive is one of the most popular effects in metal as well

You use it as boost
