The feeling of hearing yourself playing with gain and saturation for the first time is exhilarating, as you realize you sound better than you thought you did, or at least you can achieve a sound that\u2019s a little more like some of the guitarists that made you want to play electric guitar in the first place.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you experiment more and more with guitar effects pedals, you\u2019ll likely do some comparative shopping, figuring out which pedals best suit your style, and figuring out what the major differences are between this pedal and that pedal. Eventually you\u2019ll become brave enough to&nbsp; venture into the world of fuzz!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do here, pose somewhat of a <em>Celebrity Deathmatch<\/em> between a distortion pedal and a fuzz pedal. These ones are manufactured by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"O.C.E. Pedals (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ocepedals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">O.C.E. Pedals<\/a> of Burbank, CA.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll explain their different properties, a little bit of the history, play through the pedals, and explore the different sounds. Which pedal produces sounds that feel like a Weezer song? Which pedal produces sounds that feel like a Soundgarden song? You\u2019ll have to check out the video below to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Distortion &amp; Fuzz Guitar Effect Pedals: What\u2019s the Difference?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QTo73IXsaHM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About<em> <\/em>Mark Hopkins<\/strong><br>Mark Hopkins is a Senior Academic Advisor for Berklee Online and a gear fanatic.
