    Are you Team Overdrive or Team Boost and why / what's your rig?

      Team Boost all the way! I can't imagine Neural DSP/Fortin Suites without grind on :-]

      Uhm. I’m both? I use both at the same time. I use a ts9 which is about to be replaced by the Dino vacated signature drive. Then I have the 33. It gives me the perfect combo of saturation, tightness, and articulation that I need.

      @@iamhated1292 good call. Orange amps HAVE that saturation so the boost definitely helps keep things tidy

    Thanks Mel, I didn't actually know the difference. I prefer the Booster, it colours the signal less. As always, been a pleasure to learn something quickly. Cheers!.

    I literally didn't know the difference between overdrives or boosters until today. This is invaluable.

    The boost pedals just sound so much more natural. Plus, I feel like the simplicity and quality of Orange Amps is just such a winning candidate for being paired with a booster. Fortin 33 FTW. This was very informative, cheers!

    Fantastic video!! VERY informative. I've used overdrives my entire life until about a year ago when I ran across the 33. Still love my MXR GT-OD but the 33 just cuts through more although I have to use a digital distortion in my fx unit after the 33 to get the amount of gain I want (I'm a gain fanatic lol) looking at the Tempest right now 😁

    I never use them on my thrasher 50 head or nts plug-in, but if I played a 5150, recto, powerball... basically any muddy preamp, definitely the od would be my choice, as I just would want really just giving those fart noises a usable voice, rather than a "boost." I have used boosters like the facepunch for clean tones when coil tapping to give it the same amount of volume as a high gain bridge humbucker. I have been experimenting with graphic eq pedals as boosts on plug-ins and preamps and loving the results as well

    • @FortinAmps
      @FortinAmps  4 роки тому

      Overdrives vs Boosts are definitely a contextual thing for sure!

  • @jaykafcas4342
    @jaykafcas4342 2 роки тому

    For me, it depends on the input gain design.
    That’s critical.
