Distortion Before Or After Preamp at Susan Kinney blog

Distortion Before Or After Preamp. Before delays and modulations, after drives and pitch shifters. When a wah pedal is placed before distortion, the sweep of the wah has a more pronounced effect on the frequency spectrum, leading to a more dramatic effect. Some of the most classic tones out there came from our heroes running delays into overdriven amplifiers. Distortion and overdrive pedals prefer to see an unmodulated signal, and the harmonics generated by a distortion device bring richness to any chorus, phasing or flanging effects that follow. Some will put a distortion pedal before the wah and then an overdrive after the wah. Relating that to a guitar effects chain, we start with gain altering devices, such as preamp, overdrive, distortion, and fuzz; If you put several pedals in front of an amp in a row, it should be noted that it sounds more natural if you put pedals with little gain (like compressors or boosters) at the beginning and pedals with. If your turn on the distortion pedal that’s before the wah you’ll get a much more pronounced. If placed after the distortion, the sweep is subtler, affecting the already distorted signal. Compressed or clipped signals can make the perceived volume of the guitar greater; Given that delays and reverb work by creating copies of the signal, placing distortion after them can result in volume jumps or muddy tones.
