easier said, try it yourself to differentiate if you're not tone deaf.

 

[theunknown]

this is quite a debatable issue. the boundaries vary differently between differnt people's opinions

 

[metalhead1993]

i always thought overdrive was just distortion but less heavy

and thats the most redundant and off topic post in this thread.


on topic: as mentioned overdrive is a mild version of a distortion. where the border is, opinions vary.

nope, this one is.

lemme elaborate . People always assume things for example Distortion doesn't have to be heavier than overdrive . I just feel that distortions are tighter . So stop assuming and start opening up your mind . (to metalhead 1993) especially about chinese democracy .

shuld buy a volume pedal, good for all the bullshit metal you hear nowadays.

just press it till the whole band is almost inaudible, and the whole world will be saved.

 

[zax]

agreed hahaha but I guess everything is based on preference now
