It's like the difference between a solid state and a tube amp. The SS typically lacks color and sounds too processessed, whereas the tube amp sounds organic.

haha. be careful what kind of blanket statements you make. I don't know about this forum, but i know a lot of circles where that'd be asking for trouble.

Sterile = no character = boring

Sterile = no character = boring

boring = not getting laid = no babies


thus the term "sterile"

That is the first analogy that made sense to me.  Thank you!

In other words, though it causes me great pain to type this, SuperLizard was right and for all the right reasons.  :help: God help us all!  :toothy12: :toothy12:

Well, I may joke around from time to time, but when it comes to tone and all that it encompasses, I don't F around.

I thought it was a great test. Nice job man. :icon_thumright: Now I need to listen to the OD clips better and see which I liked most. And bonus to SuperLizard showing us he can hear stuff even though he couldn't hear the... Just kidding man. I'm not gonna bring that up. I've got a bunch of terrible stories where I thought I was hearing something I didn't. Good ear.  :rock-on:

In this case, is the "F" is for Fender?

If you're talking about the ones I did, hold that thought:  I'm not satisfied with them.

Main reason being I just swapped pedals without adjusting the amp any (or in some cases, the pedal) - I think some of them could be represented better.

Thanks tfarny for going through the trouble of doing this. It was fun and informative.  But I think it helped me decide that I'm going to rout my strat for P-90s.
