Question: Advantages of multiple distortion/overdrive pedals!?
hey I've seen a lot of pro guitarist's pedalboards and they seem to always have 3-5 or even more distortion pedals!. What exactly would you do with all of them, gain stacking!? different gain levels like a multi-channel amp!? Please explain in detail thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they use different pedals for different tones!. used together would sound like crap!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, the overderive is to push the pre-amp fromthe amplifier by giving the guitar more gain and more natural distortion!.
By adding a distortion pedal, the added element gives a more crunchier sound and natural distortion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
