[@cerclesvicieux]

I've done it both ways. Overdrive>distorison, I'm distorting an already overdriven signal. I find that the sound is a bit thin. Using distorion>overdrive, I feel I get a truer distotion that I "boost" with the overdrive. I run my fuzz before overdrive and after distortion. That said, I don't genearlly distort the tone before going into fuzz, but I may use the overdrive to boost that signal. At any rate, this what works for me, at this point in time.

[@randomizeer382]

My simple pedalboard. Compressor -> distortion -> overdrive

[@daddyosink4413]

Tube screamer, Rat, cheap eq, phaser, delay. I used to have the "hero pedal board", I got tired of tap dancing. 😂

[@waranghira]

If you want significant volume boost, use the OD after the D.

[@chrstopherthomas6952]

Ok. Thanks Robert. I never even knew the difference in the 2. I liked the overdrive after the distiorn.

[@shannonmashburn1792]

This is the best video on how to use the’s pedals together. Very clear and direct.

[@joshludge]

Most common was od>dist but this dist to od is a surprise. I must try this one. Thanks for the vid!

[@dagony7383]

Been playing metal and thrash since '78 and have always had the od after distortion on my boards to boost distortion and to accent solo's. Actually in all my years of playing and bei g in bands never saw anyone put the od first... But music and tone is personal so experiment and find what's best for your style....

[@lifetimewc]

If your OD is after the distortion aren't you distorting your boost when accenting solos? If you were actually wanting to boost your distortion you'd need to do that prior to it being in the chain?

[@jppagetoo]

Overdrive->distortion allows the distortion pedal to act as a compressor of sorts after the boost., In many ways it is defeating what a boost is meant to do. You get very little distiortion from the amp but more distiortion form the distortion pedal. Distortion->Overdrive takes the compressed signal from the distortion pedal and adds volume back in, a LOT! That overdrives the front end of the amp too. The result is almost no compression effect, and distiortion from both the distortion pedal and the overdriven input of the amp.

[@vlogress11c81]

So if I use a compressor I should probably put the distortion before my overdrive. I noticed that with my od before my distortion and the compressor on it just got way to quiet and muddy.

[@tds2117]

That doesn’t make any sense at all. You can’t decompress a wave form which has already been compressed. The OD at the end basically acts as an outside tone knob, in the most basic sense. It’s altering the sound of the distortion at the end of the line. It doesn’t have magical properties.

[@leviathan_is_me]

I swear, every time I go to get a clear answer to something you pop up lol. Thx again my man!

[@RobertWJackson]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@tds2117]

I’ve started running boost->compressor->distortion->OD lately and like it a lot. I keep the gain pretty much off the OD entirely.

[@Le4end]

Doesnt compression come before boost in chain

[@StratsRUs]

I always have higher gain pedals going into lower gains.So I can press lower gains to have my various rhythms then kick in the distortion.BOSS pedals are superb.Good to see a nicely presented 'basic' but clear and concise video to remind us what everything is all about.Well Done

[@RobertWJackson]

Thanks man!

[@julielocke-balish1707]

To my ear I liked the distortion after the od. I tried a compressor into a BD-2 into a boss DS-1 then into a boss Od 3..and I loved it. I just use the bd2 if I want more clean then add ds1 for some solos and the Od3 to boost it. It works for me! Thanks for the video!

[@jepatawaran]

Dude.. I've been looking for a SD-1 and DS-1 stack demo here on KZbin and i found yours. Thanks a lot!

[@RobertWJackson]

My pleasure, glad you found me!

[@BladeDoomer86]

Same thing here!

[@julianbirch7466]

Yep, I used to run overdrive into distortion but have recently swapped. The distortion into overdrive really thickens the sound up to me and is a much more full-bodied boost when the overdrive is already on then I switch on the distortion for solo duties etc.

[@rovo7249]

Compressor first, thrn my DS-1 and my SD-1. It really boosts the distortion signal and controls the buzzy signal.

[@howardcunniffe8738]

I never thought of using an over drive and distortion pedal at the same time.Always use them seperate.

[@aleksasbaravykas1223]

Sickest Washburn I've seen in my life. I didn't even listen to samples, just watched the guitar...

[@davidbuzzin426]

👍🤓OVERDRIVE IN2 DISTORTION 👍 MORE DYNAMIC LESS DULL & HOLLOW SOUND & FEEL.....

[@theleftymonster]

I use Keeley moded DS-1 into DigiTech Bad Monkey (Tube Screamer) with amazing result. The fact is that the pedal that comes later in the chain impact the shape of your tone more so when I use crunch tone with the bad monkey screamer (which is by the way one one of the cheapest and BEST pedal I ever owned) and then kick the DS-1 you don’t hear significant change in EQ of the sound rather it just get more heavier and more distorted but when you use them the other way around when you kick on the DS1 there is a significant jump on tonal character of the sound which you typically get when changing a patch on multi effect units and distortion is also no as beefy as the other method.

[@macsoto6947]

So do i...DS 1 KEELEY MOD is the BEST...

[@RunningMan40510]

Distortion>overdrive>amp = fat low mids and bass warm upper mids and highs natural harmonic grinding distortion notes are more articulate and decipherable note separation is key to being heard in a band.

[@ihateweezer7222]

If Im right whatever comes before just serves as a volume boost which defeats the purpose of the distortion meaning it should come after

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

Once again the internet proves the most important pedal we own: TUNER. That said I always put lower gain into higher gain. Good demo of how each way can change the sound, thanks for doing that. I will say I liked the tone best here with the sd1 last, but that’s only because it actually had some mids. The takeaway here is whatever is last will shape the tone most. If you consider how people like zakk use the sd1 it’s into a dirty Marshall (which is essentially his distortion “pedal”). Anyway thanks for demoing. Got to get me an SD1 now apparently... never had one either!

[@KoolCatCurtis]

WOW distortion before overdrive sounds great... never did that before. But in live scenarios, you could just hsve rhe distortion dirtying up your tone consistently, then when its solo time, just step on the overdrive to boost

[@honeyfrost3355]

I don't know if it's just me, but when the camera is on the pedals, they look a lot more colorful than they usually do. It's not a bad thing, I just noticed that the Normal boss distortion had the color of the boss super distortion.

[@RobertWJackson]

I upgraded my lighting a couple of months ago. Now I’m using one light for the entire room instead of two or three.

[@BassGuyRy]

Totally with you buddy, my sd1 and ds1 never leave my board! 👍

[@chrisphillips9578]

My first pedal was a ds-1, second was an sd-1. That was the shit back then. That and the DOD 250, I believe it was. I didn't have a tube screamer until about ten years ago.

[@adrianrafolsapacible9171]

I prefer DS 1 before SD1 to boost lead parts or solos. SD1 will boost mids that functions like a TS9 so I guess it's better to function that way if you're into lead stuff so you wont get burried in the mix while playing live. For me if you prefer placing an OD befere a distortion you should try BOSS OD-3 or NOBELS ODR-1 for natural sounding overdrive... OD3/ODR1> DS1> SD1 or DS1>OD3/ODR1> SD1

[@vlogress11c81]

I have the behringer um300 and a ds1 and I tried ordering them both ways and I honestly like the um300 before the ds1. If you put the um300 after the ds1 it gets muddy. I love the ds1 and with the um300 before it, it adds to the ds1 tone. I would say the answer to this question is whatever works for the sound your going for.

[@wasadeyo]

To my ear it sounded better when the overdrive was after the distortion

[@lichen8855]

It really depends on many things but I find that running a distortion into an overdrive with a bit of gain on it smooths out the distortion characteristic. But maybe you are already doing that by running the distortion into a hot amp. Maybe then you want to use the overdrive before them both as a boost. It's also helpful to know what the eq character of your pedals and amp are. This combo in the video works well because the DS-1 is mid scooped and the SD-1 is mid focused. They complement each other. Of course, as always, there are so many factors!

[@peterdebad1]

Overdrive before distortion. Thanks for the video demo Robert!! Looking forward to the next one.

I think that Dist into OD is just similar to Dist to amp dirt channel. I've been stacking Boss DS1 to Vox Ice 9 with the more button as the boost.

Both of these pedals are pretty good. Very versatile and you can get quite a few diff tones. Great stuff as always dude!

The only overdrive I own is a Tokyo drive and I only use it on the lead channel on my Hughes and kentner deluxe 20. All my distortion pedals run on the clean channel.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Overdrive before distortion. You want to boost your distortion with an overdrive

[@RobertWJackson]

That’s the way I like to run it, as well.

[@najmulhossainniloy8216]

Thnx saved me 7mins

[@warmothgmc]

Same here. I run a Crowther Audio Hotcake as a cleanish boost into a JHS AT (Angry Charlie). I also run a G2D Morpheus for a brutal distortion on the side. After all that, I use an MXR 10 band EQ to shape tone as needed; and, I can add a boost with the EQ.

[@alxdrksoul]

overdrive before another overdrive, would that work for something?

[@RobertWJackson]

Of course it would. Stacking overdrives is actually pretty common. Blues players especially seem to love stacking two Tube Screamers.

[@jimwargrinder5695]

thank you for the guide I was confuse with my Pedal board I thought there's an issue if the OD is placed after the distortion.. but I tried the sound is also Good!

[@charliepayne9248]

My board goes as is.... Ibanez Tube Screamer, Boss Power Stack, Wampler Velvet Fuzz, Boss Blues Driver & so on...! I like alot of noise... Great video Robert, all the best. ☝😬👍

[@RobertWJackson]

I need to pick up a Blues Driver one of these days. That’s a great pedal!

[@charliepayne9248]

Boss Blues Driver is a versatile pedal, it surprised me with its range.. l wonder if it is Bosses most popular pedal...?

[@RobertWJackson]

Boss’ most popular pedal ever is actually the TU-2/TU-3. Their second most popular pedal? The Metal Zone!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 The DS-1, SD-1, and the OS-1/OS-2/OS-3 I believe are next in line. The Blues Driver is probably up there, though.

[@brianhebert4979]

Overdrive first, your distorting the overdrive...distortion first, your overdriving the disrotion. Both work and tons of options...I have lately been running a metal zone into a SD-1....tons of tone options with the MT-2 eq...for those who never quite got the metal zone eq. Down...there is a guide if you look up the metal zone tone settings.a print out. Adjust from there from overdrive, rock to metal. Both work as many take an Ds1 and overdrive that...like that guy Steve Vai..

[@davidhinchliffe3354]

I completely agree....im running exactly the same set up.... when you break into a solo and hit the overdrive it sounds amazing!! 🎸💥🔥👍

[@dontderockmeriz4546]

I use my tube screamer before my bbe distortion. Give me a great sound.

[@GuitarJeff]

You know this was really interesting. I didn't expect the sound from distortion into overdrive. I have never done it that way always overdrive into distortion. But honestly since getting the Marshall DSL 40 CR I quit using pedals for overdrive and distortion as it has both. However that was honestly a different tone I wasn't expecting and not a particularly bad tone. Now I need to plug some overdrive pedals into the effects loop my Marshall and see what I get.

[@yargnad]

It's not the best idea to put dirt pedals into the fx loop since it will be much more noisey than into the front of the amp.

[@paulnealis9991]

I’ve never even owned a distortion pedal before. I hit the front end of the amp hard with a 808 and boost, dial in the distortion on the preamp and have an EQ in the loop. I can get such a variety of tones this way. The possibilities are almost endless. I guess if I ever get a clean Fender amp, I might go down the distortion pedal rabbit hole.

[@RobertWJackson]

Screw the Fender amp, they’re not the only amp in town! Just use a distortion pedal into a clean channel that you enjoy! Or I to the Return port of the effects loop.

[@paulnealis9991]

Well thanks to my hot water heater exploding a month ago I won’t be getting away with any major gear purchases with my tax return. Might try and score an MXR Phase 95 and rack my brain and fingers on some EVH 🤷🏻‍♂️🤯

[@drewg3087]

OD>Distortion. Retains clarity and adds right amount of hair more or less whereas Distortion is it!, harder to adjust and retain clarity. Unless it’s an old MIJ boss DS-1 or similar variant (MXR Distortion) that can be adjusted with less gain and still retain the overall amp tone and character. There. That’s the post.

[@TheXslms]

SD1 after DS1 is the BEST combination, DS1 is so ugly used as main drive

[@Suckmyballsskank]

Nice vid Robert try putting the SD1 level 10 drive 1.If your using a clean amp like the fender tonemaster twin reverb...which is the best amp around in my opinion..you put the SD1 LEVEL10 DRIVE 1 before the DS1 in the chain.

[@Farvadude]

it's baffling me why you have so many dislikes on all these videos. i've got a lot of experience analyzing youtube engagement behavior, but i'm stumped by this one. you're not the only channel i've seen this on too. this many dislikes is usually reserved for videos where the title is misleading or the creator did a bad job at whatever they're doing. but your videos (and the other two channels i've seen this on) don't appear to have any reason why so many people would dislike. and usually when there are a lot of dislikes there are comments explaining why, but there are no negative comments here or on the other guitar gear channels i've seen this on. there's gotta be some unique pattern that's affecting a cohort of the viewers of guitar gear channels specifically.

[@RobertWJackson]

In short, a lot of the guitar community hates me because I’m known to make fun of their favorite pieces of gear. I think some people just click on my videos specifically to hit the Dislike button. Fortunately, they don’t seem to realize that KZbin views Likes and Dislikes the same. LOL

[@mikecarreca7864]

I prefer OD before DS to really give a punch to ths DS. I use a lowered amount of DS and strong OD then into my BOSSME80 using Tera Echo and the Wah on but holding steady gives me a strong Pink Floyd sound with a Gibson Les Paul and a good Eric Clapton sound with one of my Strats.

In the loop, it's Oceans 11, Source Audio Programmable EQ, Flashback Mini, Ditto mini. It took me a while and a lot of back and forth with the order to get everything where I wanted/liked it best.

One problem of running a high gain distortion or fuzz after overdrive is that it will greatly multiply the excess noise (hum, hiss etc) from the overdrive (and other pedals) placed before it.

Unless you’re intentionally trying to bypass the amp’s preamp section and you’re running them into the effects loop return, I wouldn’t put either one in the effects loop. Run them through the front. They’re designed to work with the front end of your amp, overdrives especially.

However, that feature I do not believe is available to creators until they reach 100,000 Subscribers, which I obviously have a LOOOOOOONG way to go before I get that big. In the meantime, it’s merch sales through Teespring, revenue from people sitting through the ads, and the “tip jar” on the live streams. I’ve had a few people ask me about this now, so it’s probably time for me to get my Patreon account back up and running.

@@RobertWJackson Ok. I will email you tomorrow. Actually later today now. My girlfriend is on my laptop but I will get in touch later. If all else fails I can donate on the next live stream you do on or after March 1st. If you have a way to charge my debit card besides the livestream., we can talk about it when we hook up through email. It would be cool if you could set up an account where people could donate. I wouldn't mind donating on a monthly basis. I also believe that at 10,000 + people subscribed your site will grow faster than you think. I'm sure your loyal viewers are plugging you at other sites. I know I am. Talk to you later today!

@@RobertWJackson hey Robert. I tried to email you with my phone but apparently I'm to stupid to operate it. That's nothing new! Seriously I'm much better with my laptop. If I can ever get on it! My friend who is a female works tommorow so I will have unfettered access to it. We need to figure out how to donate to the site. I really would like to donate on a monthly basis. I would bet that as the word gets out about a support the dungeon site you will get lots of help. Maybe you could give away an autographed tee shirt every once in awhile for the largest donation of the month. No matter what though you will be around a long time and as subscribers grow, they will see what the rest of us already know. That you work hard to put together a site that is well researched, relevant, and done in a way that even us novices can understand. And as I have said before, your integrity is unparalleled. We need another top ten comedy list. I still lmao watching the reverse flying v comment you made!! Talk to you soon. Keep us rocking!

[@RobertWJackson]

Thanks buddy. I’ll work on getting something up and running soon!

How have you only got that many subs? You had me crying on the floor with laughter with worst ever gear vid

[@RobertWJackson]

KZbin’s a funny thing, and it’s algorithm is not always kind to creators. See the video that I uploaded this morning to see what I mean. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@icarus7073]

I subscribed and for some reason I had to sub again ... it was the vid with the bugger amp lol 🤣 that did it for me ... the latest vid I saw was the boss chourus that kicked ass man 🤘

[@icarus7073]

@@RobertWJackson I do ebay quite alot and your title is everything try and hook a few more people by generalizing your title eg your title is very to the point like people looking for that specific item would find it nicely when I do ebay I add as much as I can without going off point too much such as add words like guitar ,pedal, effects , stompbox just to get people to watch who weren't looking for just that pedal... you got much more subs than me and I'm not trying to make out that I know more because I dont I just enjoy your vids and I'm surprised you dont have more ...👍

[@RobertWJackson]

Good idea. I just adjusted the title a bit. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@scottjackson4743]

Did you not bother to set the intonation on that guitar it sounds like crap give me 5 minutes and I can fix that

[@shawnkintz1538]

[@Mr.5hady]

It all sounds like a muddy mess! No dynamics at at. Too much drive! Gain is not volume Kyle. Tuners are a good thing too. 😢
