How to get a really tight high gain sound? Even though some will say "just use an amp that's tight enough and leave the stupid pedals", most high gain players have a different opinion. Using an overdrive pedal in front of the amp is not only about the tightness. It's the initial attack and the CHUG. :) Let me know in the comments below, what you think about the sounds in the video.
Enjoy Gear Corner!

** Why the "Anzeige" (=Ad) message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't. But it's the law so whatever...
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? No it isn't. (I update this line for every video).
