Selecting the right distortion pedals can be crucial. Your voice will depend on choosing the right tool in order to express yourself. If you select the wrong distortion tools it can seriously impact on your guitar playing and may even result in your playing less due to being unhappy with your own tone.
The first step to choosing the right distortion pedals is to determine what type of music genre you are going to use it for. Will you be playing blue grass, soft rock, vintage, or classical country? Today most delay pedals and other effect pedals are tuned specifically to your choice of music. However, this is not always case but will benefit most musicians. Once you have determined the type of music that you will be playing you will need to match it with the distortion pedals that are most often associated with your chosen music type. There are many different distortion pedals available that are popular.
Fuzz pedals are normally used by classical rockers such as Jimi Hendrix and White Stripes. The overdrive pedals are typically used for blues rock by artists such as the great Stevie Ray Vaughn. When most artists or guitarists discuss the overdrive pedals they are actually referring to the distortion produced by the tube amps when they are to the point of breaking. They are designed specifically to drive a tube amp into overdrive or to replicate this tone beyond their normal sound.
Distortion pedals usually takes over where the overdrive pedals leave off. Most musicians work hard to get the classical distorted guitar tone that they really want. Distortion pedals normally emulate high gain amps that develop strong walls of sound that small amps are not capable of doing. Distortion pedals are imperative to most of the modern guitar tones.
Once you have matched your music type with the distortion pedals you will need to test them. If you are able to you should always take your guitar to the shop and test drive the distortion pedals if they will allow you to. It’s always best to test them with your own guitar since all guitars are different you will want to test them out on your own if possible.
