GRIND 101 - How to GRIND with Jason "Killertone" Frankhouser

[@ImDumbSry]

Honestly haven't ever heard a DSL sound this good

[@nekrovulpes]

DSL's are extremely underrated. Tons of gain. I think people just overlook them because they're looking for/expecting that typical Marshall crunch, which admittedly they don't do quite so well, as well as the elephant in the room- They don't exactly cost an arm and a leg.

[@12breacher82]

Super informative!! Having used these before, it seems simple enough, but it’s always helpful to have an expert visual guide.

[@donttrythisathometrythisat7429]

Very cool sounds! thanks for sharing.

[@karolybendeguzbok4119]

It tightens up the amps very good! Great Pedal! Thank's for the video!

[@metal_helm]

so i'm 45 and have been chasing tone for years. And I'm cheap, that's why I've waited so long to finally get the Grind, and this video was the tipping point. I am the only person (that I know) that will be putting this in front of a Marshall 8100 valvestate which doesn't have a lot of flubby low end, so I know this pedal might not work out, but I've got my fingers crossed. wish me luck

[@x9uij3rWD]

How'd it go

[@metal_helm]

@@x9uij3rWD come check it out on my channel. It sounds great, but does take a bit of post-eqing. Check out any of my videos that are titled "how they should have sounded" and you'll get a good feel for it. I'm really happy with it

[@biggmigg22m32]

Another awesome vid, thanks for sharing the knowledge Jason

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

great job Jason! i always loved the DSL!

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Turns E standard into brutal. Great vid

[@rambukband1925]

Always great to hear Jason play through Fortin stuff!

[@johnkaraglanis5752]

Nice vid. Very informative. A huge thanks.

Now I'm wondering if you have a 3 channel recto and you are using the amp footswitch if the grind switching will override the footswitch if you have the grind plugged into one of the external switching jacks. Say you wanted to engage the grind and have it switch to channel 2 or something.

[@brpadington]

More pedals need the chanel swith added like this. I always run a boost for my dirty channel and hitting two pedals sucks.

[@benmiddleton9984]

To my ears, the Marshall sounded better than the Mesa. Surprisingly better. The Mesa sounded muddy

[@TheRisingofSeph]

They should try it with an ENGL.. it would sound killer

[@matttaylor1449]

I thought the mic placement sounded a bit too dark on both amps.

[@dmitriyturin5420]

Hi! Has the Marshall DSL100 amplifier been upgraded (mod)?

[@chapperbone]

I prefer the DSL but they both sound great! Awesome pedal.

[@mikedervos5974]

what is the difference between the big pedal grind and the small one?

[@killertone]

Size that's it

[@iwannarockon2010]

Nice grind action

[@charlesrocks]

The Grind and the 33 bring the Mesa Stilleto alive.

[@bradyrogers3049]

I have the grind for my randall divalo 20 watt with matching 1x12. I just got back my Wylde odin grail with 81 emg in the bridge and I'm getting a lot of unnecessary noise. What could help?

[@ImDumbSry]

What’s your opinion on the lead sounds with the grind on the DSL specifically in standard E? I’m thinking it might make it too thin and brittle sounding, but great for the low chugging

[@SluggerStark]

It definitely could, from my experience. The Fortin pedals IMO opinion are the best at tightening up the gain of pretty well any amp....out of a Marshall, you get this angry, tight, in your face tone that never mushes out. The tradeoff with doing this is that depending on the player, you may not dig the feel....it is definitely stiffer with less give, overall.

[@kokaakas]

Nice tones! Is this Marshall modded?

[@FortinAmps]

Stock Marshall with a GRIND pedal in front

[@metal_helm]

what would happen if you put that pedal in front of an evil pumpkin? (^_^)

[@killertone]

No need! EP has the OG Girth and Grind controls!

[@12breacher82]

Do you WANT to open up a black hole in your house?

[@metal_helm]

@@12breacher82 As long as i could record it yes.

[@littledoggiedeathmetal]

I'm pretty sure that's how the state of Oregon caught fire.

[@beatlejuice5951]

Would love to see a jhs haunting mids vs the grind. Sick pedal

[@dvnmle]

first and woah sounding killer

[@JimmyTorque]

Yeah. My old SD-1 just kissed its ass goodbye.

[@tubeaddicted485]

...and now show me what the fortin grind does to a Fender HotRod.
