How will this course enhance my understanding of guitar pedal design and function?
This course offers an in-depth exploration of "gain based" guitar pedals, enhancing your understanding of their use and impact on guitar tone. Through detailed demonstrations and discussions, you'll gain insights into different pedal types, such as compressors and overdrives, and learn how their various settings and configurations can shape your sound.
The course emphasizes practical application, showing how pedals interact within a setup and how to optimize their placement for the best effect. It also addresses common questions and misconceptions, providing clear explanations and debunking myths to solidify your foundational knowledge.
While the course does not go deep into the electronics behind pedal design or modification, it excels in teaching how to use these devices effectively. You'll see firsthand the unique characteristics of different pedal circuits, like optical, FET, and VCA compressors, and understand how to stack and order pedals for complex tone crafting.
This practical approach, combined with the opportunity to engage with a community of like-minded guitarists and pedal enthusiasts, makes the course an invaluable resource for those looking to enhance their pedalboard setup and overall guitar-playing experience. -

Not a guitar player, but still quite useful
For a non guitar player and someone who is interested in DIY-ing guitar pedals, the course contains useful information on the place and function of major guitar pedal types - their strengths and weaknesses.

Fantastic
Having each individual part of how we distort or modify are sound and how sonically each pedal can make a massive or minuscule impact. I enjoyed the more laid back approach and the amount of knowledge that he can convey in a bite size video series. Would love to see more especially the wet effects

Great course!
Super Informative. Covers a ton of material. perfect class whether you are a beginner or knowledgeable about guitar pedals.

Useful
A useful summary and demonstration of the different main types of overdrive pedal. I'd previously heard of pedals being based on others but useful to have it summarised neatly here on what the main types are.
