NotitiesThe Method behind the Madness - an Explainer Feature on the Inner Workings and Science of my Pedal-Chain / Pedal Platform Stereo Rig
Guitar Pedal X
Dit blog gaat over de innerlijke werking en wetenschap achter de pedal-chain/pedal-platform stereo rig van de auteur, Guitar Pedal X. Het bevat een methode genaamd "12 Degrees of Saturation" om verschillende gain-pedalen te vergelijken en classificeren. De auteur raadt ook aan om draadloos te gaan met de Line 6 Relay G10 voor gemak en kwaliteit.
This blog originally started up largely as an exercise for me to compile and compare all the different options available to me and decide which pedal/s would best serve my purposes. This involved a lot of classifications and comparisons - where I evolved my know well-known '12 Degrees of Saturation' methodology to help me place different gain pedals on the gain spectrum - so that I was sure that I was really comparing like with like. It's all a bit of a grey science, but there are some salient inherent parts - even though the first editions of 12 degrees weren't wholly correct in their assumptions - but near enough, and said methodology has served me very well throughout. 12 Degrees of Saturation sets out a spectrum of gain - illustrated by bright yellow at the lowest hue of gain - or Boost / Clean Boost, we then move through 12 overlapping categories overall to a deep dark red at the Extreme end.
You will note from the diagram that we have a number of instances of useful Boosts and EQ's peppered throughout the chain. And where said pedal can deliver a clean boost - then you can wholly deploy some shaping of the EQ too.
I would generally encourage everyone to go wireless as it just makes everything much much easier. And the Line 6 Relay G10 has proven to be quite superb for me all these years!
