@@JuanReyes-ht1bd check out the post I just made. I’ll also add in the JRockett Archer IKon. It really livens up your amp. I put it at the end of my signal path. The Timmy/archer stack sounds so good through my vibrolux reverb amp and my lowly blues Jr. That’s with humbuckers.
One easy way to match the pedal with the amp is to use a looper and play the loop and switch pedal on and off and adjust as needed. This is to match the clean tone for unity
I’ve never had anyone explain the nuances of setting up an overdrive pedal befor other than just play around with it, now when I’m playing around with it I have a better idea of what to shoot for to get the results I’d like. Thanks for another great, and straight forward lesson and explanation.
G&L makes some really cool custom shop colors, they do their own in house painting and glitter work that looks phenomenal. Andertons made a video with them a while back touring their shop and showing how they make guitars. They even showed Leo Fender’s original office, tools, and some schematics. Thanks Corey.
Hey Corey! Thank you so much for featuring the Blue Highway! Love your clear explanations and sick playing! ❤ For those digging into “clean bleed” on any pedal - that also really comes in handy when you’re stacking overdrives. Specifically, when you’re hitting the input of your overdrive pedal with a lot of volume from a previous gain stage.
I got an SD-1 mainly to boost my clean chanel on my 5150 Iconic. Recently realized I can also use it for added sustain on my red channel if I dial the red channels gain back with super subtle controls. Overdrive pedals are just so versatile and you did a KILLER job here man!
There are a lot of videos of how to use a overdrive pedal but this is by far the best. I learned some much and now I know how to setup my overdrive with my amp much better. Thanks Corey!
One thing that is a big misconception is the amount of actual saturation in the dirty sounds of a lot of metal musicians. It may be more than a dirty blues or a heavier classic rock tone; but for most it's more about the EQ setting or voicing of their amps and the way they play.
Been following for a while, currently working my way through your youtube dom7 arpeggio lessons. Honestly i get so much from your videos/lessons and just watching your playing etc i just shake my head when i see that so many on youtube are missing out by not being here. That G&L sounded awesome in the intro btw.
Great advice. This all works no matter the sound you're after. I have a clean pedal platform amp and amps I like to use dirty. If you want to use the pedal as a lead boost, all this still applies. I also sometimes like using a pedal in front of my clean amp for a saturated dirty sound and then another set for a light overdrive to boost it farther or even just as a tone shaper to add something different.
Corey, excellent job explaining how instruments/amps are recorded and heard in the digital world. I agree, you can make a tiny, little practice amp sound HUGE on the internet.
This was insanely useful. I have a Buckshot Audio overdrive pedal from the 2000's that has roughly these same controls, but never really understood what they all did. This made that pedal useful again for me!
That's so true what you said about guitar sounds in the digital world! Especially when you are using pedals! Most amps you can get in the pedal platform zone and have a neutral clean that will work! I will send this to my students :)
My favorite pedal for the last few years is one by a local builder to me who has has since closed shop. It was a dual pedal with a klone circuit into a KOT style circuit. He made 3 versions of this, each an upgrade from the previous version and I bought the first two. Unfortunately, when the MkIII version came along, I was in the middle of a divorce, so I couldn't justify the cost due to my legal bills.😢

If u want transparent overdrive use a hard clipping circuit. Less EQ curve change. Also, another trick w OD is to put unity gain on the pedal when you roll back yr guitar volume to about 8. You get a cleanish sound but a killer one when you roll up to 10. That is a..supercut.
Very cool. I'm not much of a player, I make noise. But it's fun. I diddle the dials with wild abandon because I don't have clue. Now I have more of a clue. I have a better idea of what the dials do. This was very informative. The volume matching was a new idea that will help hear what I'm doing when I diddle the dials. This was my first video of yours I watched, I'm going to watch many more for them. The instruction was clear and understandable to me. I don't know all the terms, jargon, and tech speak, so I get lost in other videos. Well done, well done.
Great video. I have a bunch of overdrives, Nobels ODR-1, Ceriatone Centura, Keeley D & M Drive and few others. After watching this it's made me think a lot more and try to have a better understanding of what I have and how i'm using them. Thanks again from UK.
Great video! Thanks Corey! I always see guys running the drive lower than the gain on drive pedals. I seem to be in the minority who does the opposite. Works best for me since I use a total clean amp. There's always some fine tuning balancing the level to get the volumes matched.
If you want to give overdrive a try, you can’t go wrong with something like a NUX Horseman. They’re around $70, but it’s a great first overdrive pedal and it’s based on probably the most famous overdrive pedal of all time. You could also try some Joyo pedals, they’re very budget friendly and sound really good overall.
Fantastic sounds and playing Corey! Man that is a luscious guitar, thanks for the chance of winning it and congratulations on hitting 50k soon! The pedal sounds awesome, your friends did an awesome job on it. I think it looks cool too.
Yo Corey! It’s your friend Steve from Boston! Dude! What year is that Marshall head behind you! You definitely have some great equipment! Great Sounding Pedal!
The thing I liked the most about this video was your rock liks, always different and original. Were they all in the key of E? Have you thought about the possibility of taking a lesson to teach us some? Thanks as always. 👍🎸

Trying to find "unity" is a great way of figuring out what a pedal does. Ex. Most Tubescreamers can't be clean even with the drive all the way down. So starting with a neutral sound teaches you the full range of a pedal.
hey corey ! great tutorial ! but when you set “unity” gain, do you compare it with the attack of the chord when you engage the pedal or are you listening to the mini boost when you engage the pedal ?
That’s how I do it. I’ll tell you why, because when I want to solo, I’ll crank the volume on my guitar to get the full drive. Well, also, because I’ll keep my overdrive on always. Anyway, it’s just how I do it.
Another thing you could do, is set it that way for your bridge pickup, and set it at a lower volume for your neck pickup that way you can use your bridge pickup as a boost. A good thing to keep in mind is that there aren’t any set rules really. Just use this video as a guide line then find out what YOU like. Edit to add: this idea doesn’t work so well on a strat or something like that, you need a four knob set up like a Gibson.
Hey Corey, You put up a "SHORT" video toi give away the G&L, but there is no link to provide my email on short videos. You can't comment or anything on shorts. Thanks

Hi Corey! just a quick question not related to the video (but like that it's making a comment and for youtube algorithm... xD) I would like to know your advised regarding the lesson on your website. I have the subscription, started with beginner rythmic guitar and in parallele with blues volume 1. But I feel the gap a bit high. Should i use another lesson before volume 1? Like pentatonic or arpeggio? Do you have a list of the order of the lessons to follow? thanks!
@@coreycongilio ok and thanks for ur answer! and arpeggio + pentatonic, would you follow them in parallele of blues rythm? Last question, i never really care the pedals, in fact i discovered this univers through your video... For a beginner as me, what would y ou advised as first pedal to go? I'm in china so it might be hard to get them xD and thanks again for your reply! You are really a great guitarist and instructor!
I got my overdrive down, but I can not find a pedal between Overdrive and Distortion. Something with enough sustain to do singing leads like Journey, but not a "chug chug" sound. Any suggestions?
Volume knob. Get a really good dynamic amp. And slam the front end with a Timmy or RC boost to cook the tubes. What amps you prefer? Ken F. Trainwreck will do it. Mesa Cali blonde. But then again I don’t like distortion boxes. The Fb2 from fulltone used to Destroy AC15
Yep - I build them all myself here one solder joint at a time! I just can’t stomach the idea of going to mass manufacturing. There’s plenty of that out there already. But thank you so much for checking out the site and the pedal!

These how to use an “X” type pedal videos have been so incredibly useful and helpful to me! Please keep them up!
Glad they’re helpful. Most of my pedal vids are in this fashion.
I've watched a ton of "how to use overdrive" videos and this one is by far the best one. Thank you very much for doing this. :)
I can't do the "pedal platform" thing (ugh!). I have to have some amp overdrive to start with before stepping on a pedal.
That's so true what you said about guitar sounds in the digital world! Especially when you are using pedals! Most amps you can get in the pedal platform zone and have a neutral clean that will work! I will send this to my students :)

Wouldn’t you want the overdrive to add volume sometimes, like on a gig where you are soloing?
Sure that's certainly something I do. This was about really hearing what the pedal does and establishing a starting point.
Trying to find "unity" is a great way of figuring out what a pedal does. Ex. Most Tubescreamers can't be clean even with the drive all the way down. So starting with a neutral sound teaches you the full range of a pedal.
Love the shirt Corey
Someone needs to make one with the same logo, but say "Better Play Soul" :D
hey corey ! great tutorial ! but when you set “unity” gain, do you compare it with the attack of the chord when you engage the pedal or are you listening to the mini boost when you engage the pedal ?
That was a great video! Maybe I missed, but what are guitar settings when adjusted? Im guessing , everything dimed and on neck pickup?
Yep, neck pickup with no knob adjustments on the guitar
Great tutorial! With your amp volume set to 3, is your guitar volume and tone at 10 before you set up the pedal?
That’s how I do it. I’ll tell you why, because when I want to solo, I’ll crank the volume on my guitar to get the full drive. Well, also, because I’ll keep my overdrive on always. Anyway, it’s just how I do it.
Another thing you could do, is set it that way for your bridge pickup, and set it at a lower volume for your neck pickup that way you can use your bridge pickup as a boost. A good thing to keep in mind is that there aren’t any set rules really. Just use this video as a guide line then find out what YOU like.
Edit to add: this idea doesn’t work so well on a strat or something like that, you need a four knob set up like a Gibson.

Haven't played it but, the theories in this vid would apply to any pedal sound in a multi fx box
