    • @Simenotnes
      @Simenotnes День тому

      Cheers! That's right. For my physical pedalboard I have one overdrive which is on all the time (to give the clean sound a little edge), one for slightly overdriven tones (more like the tone in this video) and one for heavier sounds. Here I'm just using sounds from my DAW though. I actually have a very detailed video on this sound: ua-cam.com/video/FKPXr5xCV90/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SimenOtnes

    Hi Simon! Hope all is well. How about a video teaching that guitar players should let loose?
