• How To Use Distortion Right – Multiple Quick Tips



    Who says distortion is just for metalheads? Chris & Jody are here to prove that everything sounds better when you add a little dirt. In this episode, they show you how to sprinkle distortion like hot sauce—on guitars (obviously), bass (oh yeah), vocals (why not?), and even drums (yes, really). Along the way, they’ll dish out practical home studio gear advice, clever tricks, and plenty of nonsense—because what’s distortion without a little chaos? Of course, their Friday Finds return to give you new toys to play with after you’re done frying your mix. This isn’t just distortion 101—it’s distortion with attitude.
