good to know this dude ACTUALLY knows other guitarists other than hendrix or SRV or Cobain

[ridoheru]

Crazy idea, do all of them at the same time!

I love that you playing the territorial pissing from Nirvana when you talking about 90's. Thats freaking cool man, keep doin' more stuff like this!

[singingballer]

I feel like overtime distortion has gained a sense of clarity in its tone.

[raoulduke]

The Kinks were the first band I knew about that would slash their amps open, to get that distortion tone on songs like You Really Got Me.
I had no idea people had done that in the 1940s and 50s.

the chad amp stabber

The tone of 1950s rock will always be one of the best!

This was a really cool video, what was crazy to me is that the first destroyed amp actually sounded good... this guy is the tone master!

Fantastic Young guitar player! Keep going man, you'll be a monster. Excellent informational video on the distortion evolution as well

[rebirth]

The development of distortion pedals for guitar also paved the way for modern electronic music which relies on heavy and customized distortion(by use of vsts).

"Deep dive" "83 years of distortion evolution".... produces 1:21 video with no information other than "pedals".

[Exspazament]

I've never been a tone chaser or a copycat of tones. I've always been obsessed with crafting my own.

[julianandrade]

Distortion and overdrive are the most used effects, the most popular and the ones that are almost never missing in a pedalboard

[xXratlover]

The 90’s distortion didn’t have a name for the song example but for me it’s sounds like Territorial Pissings by Nirvana

[davidvonjohnston]

The chainsaw distortion of the 90s death metal scene was swaggin

[arthurmarques]

Old school power distortion and modern preamp distortion from tube amps has been walking along with solid state and digital distortion too. Would be great some content about this.

[professionalyoutuber]

GOTTA FIND A WAY, A BETTER WAY, WHEN IM

[izzuddinzaheid]

Yup.. guitarist of the 40s & 50s used to poke their cheap Randall RA15G speaker cone for distortion.

[davidbartram]

You missed the whole thing on the introduction of master volume amps and pre-amp distortion and just talked about a few pedals…

[ripsnorter]

I feel the next step is inputting a whole bunch of sound settings in the guitar itself.
