What is the difference between electric guitar effects distortion and heavy metal

It doesn't have to be said that there is any song that can explain the effect. The heavy metal effect can be said to be an extension of distortion, and ordinary distortion.

Effects. Compare that is.

Distortion. Bigger and more numb, generally with at least two sections of equalization, so that it is easy to tune out the effects commonly used by heavy metal**, such as rhythm, guitar, weakened midrange, etc. There are too many well-known distortion effects, but there are not so many models of heavy metal effects.

The processing of the signal is different, and the waveform after amplification and filtering is different.

It's all distorted. It's just a difference in timbre. You listen to metallica, the distortion in it is very ... I don't know how to say it, it's just that many people say that it's energetic and cool.

Distorted effects, such as the DS1, don't sound like that. For example, if you listen to the previous songs of kiss, there is distortion in it, and there is no such feeling as a cutting machine.

If you don't understand this question, you will know it by listening to it.

There are no rock 'n' roll electric guitars.

Heavy metal electric guitar is divided.

It's just that the effects used are different.

Take a Gibson electric guitar, for example.

Effects with rock effects.

It's a rock 'n' roll electric guitar.

Equally. If you use effects with a heavy metal effect.

It becomes a heavy metal electric guitar.

That's it.

ds1 is very positive... Add a balance to make metal. It's best to add a delay.

It is recommended that you buy a multi-effect device.

Distortion is a special timbre of the lead solo Heavy metal is an effect used in heavy metal and melodic [closed and spin].

To produce a heavy metal tone, at least one piece is compressed, and one piece is delayed.

I used DS1 MT2 GE7 Delay must have , and I added a delay.

Distortion is one of the world's most powerful effects created by effects, including distortion, overdrive, delay, wah, reverb, phase, and more.

Generally, electric guitars are used.

When playing, you need to use effects (unless you only use the electric guitar to clean the tone, or only use the distortion effect that comes with the speaker, I forgot to mention that most speakers come with a distortion effect channel).

Canon. That song uses a lot of effects, the most important is distortion, and the others are modified with peripheral effects such as delay.

There is no such thing as a "distortion speaker", it is the speaker that comes with a channel with a distortion effect, and some speakers will also have a spring reverb effect, or other peripheral effects, but most speakers only have a distortion effect.

In general, electric guitar performance is an electric guitar - effects (one or several) - amps, like this.

If you want to tell the color from a variety of tones, you need multiple stompboxes, or a combination of effects.

The timbre at the beginning of the canon is made with the two effects of distortion + delay, and the timbre that can make the sound stretch for a long time is called delay.

Jerry C Dan Cannon uses a mixture of speaker distortion + multiple effects, it's hard to say which brand of effect he uses (he hasn't said it himself), but you can buy your own effects to imitate his voice (it's easier to imitate a synthesized effect). The range of heavy metal is too wide, and there are so many heavy metal bands in the world, it can be said that the combination of effects used by guitarists in each band is different. However, generally for heavy metals, it is enough to simply match a distortion and a compression, and the compression can even be omitted.

The monologue has a good timbre and is easy to synthesize. Generally, it is to play the piano a few times, adjust the effect a few times, until the tone is satisfied, if the tone is good, go straight to the destruction of the mountain and open the effect to play.

I think your basic knowledge of electric guitar effects and amps is too lacking, and you have already added 3 questions, so it's really troublesome to ask and answer them, so you can text me directly in private.

1. Guitar speakers are currently divided into three categories: tube speakers, transistor speakers, and digital speakers.

2. Tube speakers, using valve drive line overload to produce natural, warm distorted timbre, the current effect technology has not developed to the extent of replacing tubes, especially dynamic.

Valve speakers.

2. The sound of transistor speakers can be processed crisp and violent, and it can also be processed clearly and brightly, with a long life

**Less expensive, but not as warm as tubes.

3. Digital speakers, which can imitate various distortions and other effects, are basically modeled and simulated, so the timbre is not particularly good.

4. The effect is divided into tube effect, digital effect and analog effect. Functions are divided into comprehensive effects, stompboxes, and clone effects.

Early modeling simulates distortion, like the distortion of an effect compared to a frame drawn by a loudspeaker's distortion, mimicking within the frame. Now it's floating-point sampling, and the timbre has been greatly improved compared to before, but it still can't replace the dynamics of hardware speakers. KPAs and other clone speakers,The timbre is basically not much different from the original speaker,But the dynamic reaction will still obviously feel different。

The picture below shows the KPA

Compositing effects.

Distortion stompbox. Summary: In general, the distortion effect is always imitating the distortion of the speaker, even if the current technology can reach nine imaging, but that is just like, you can use the effect to record, perform, practice, but the intuitive feeling brought to you by the tube is at least irreplaceable for the time being.

I'm dizzy!! First of all, a good one.

In many cases, the purpose of using a distortion effect is to make your tone "simulate" the distortion tone of a good speaker, so famous guitarists such as slash will only use the speaker's own distortion when they perform officially, and at most pick up a piece of wah. Secondly, the purpose of another part of professional guitarists with distortion effects (mainly stompboxes) is to play a "stimulating" role, rather than really wanting its distortion tone, and the real contribution is the distortion of the speaker itself The real role of the effect is that you can't perform everywhere with all your speakers on your back, or your financial conditions don't allow you to buy a speaker for a certain distortion tone back, at this time, this small piece of 1,800 yuan will play a role As for why there are many people who have it The distortion of the speaker is not as good as the distortion of the effect, there are many factors in this, and a lot of words are needed to explain If you really want to know, let's talk about it in detail.

Yes! If you don't have enough money, you'll start with the box, but you'll have to buy an effect later! You can make the effects according to the tone you want, and if you're not very professional, the sound that comes with the effects is good enough for you!

Guitar distortion generally refers to the distortion tone of the electric guitar, and the distorted tone can generally be adjusted by a comprehensive effect or a distortion pedal, and the tone will become hoarse and harsh after distortion.

Implementation principle: The general distortion effect emphasizes the timbre processing in the pre-amplification stage, and does not need to go through power amplification distortion, and the signal is averaged and distorted to obtain the universal distortion timbre after EQ shaping.

Electric guitar distortion tones are generally denoted by the English word distortion.

The distortion tone of the electric guitar is mainly used in some heavy styles such as metal rock or hard rock, and the distortion is achieved through the effect, when you turn the tone button on the effect to the metal or distortion gear, and then use the pick to repeatedly pluck the thickest three strings of the electric guitar, the effect that comes out is the distortion tone, which is the kind of heavy bass effect, which is very burning.

Most of the electric guitars we hear from rock ** are mostly distorted. Distortion cuts the incoming signal into a plate of choppy soup and adds frequencies that weren't there, which generally makes the sound sound warmer and more high-pitched, but sometimes with a certain increase in frequency.

The so-called effect, as the name suggests, applies effect to the timbre, not only the electric guitar, but also many musical instruments, choruses, etc. The unprocessed ** (no, effector) gives people a sense of fly in the ointment. It can be said that the effect is already indispensable in the composition of **.

Here, we will explain the typical effects used in electric guitars. As an introductory guide to the effective use of effects, I hope to produce high-quality sound as the first step in researching how to use effects in other instruments and how to make up the ideal state of the effects in the whole.

Guitar playing cannot be qualified if it can only be played. When playing a piece or phrase, you must be able to quickly determine the timbre that matches your personality. If the timbre and volume are wrong, a good phrase becomes meaningless, and it destroys its harmony (unity).

1 Distortion

Among many electrical appliances, in the world of "rock", it is used by many people, and the most used is the distortion. When you want to contrast with a clear sound that is not distorted, and when the volume is somewhat limited, the distortion device becomes a very convenient thing.

The basic structure of a distortion device is to deliberately distort the input signal. Distortion is usually manipulated by three devices: tone, which adjusts the degree of distortion, which changes the tone, and level, which adjusts the tone.

The distortion method of the distortion device, even if it is adjusted by the volume of the guitar itself, changes. If the volume of the guitar is 10, it is the most distorted, and the volume distortion will slowly decrease when you turn it down. Moreover, the volume drops dramatically and is close to the original sound.

Therefore, if you use this, you will be able to play with the same feeling as when you play with the speaker at maximum volume. For anyone who wants to use a marshall-like amp in heavy rock, I would recommend that you use this distortion device to control the volume of the guitar.

2 Over Drive effect.

It's basically an effect that belongs to the distortion system, but its slight distortion sound is its charm, and it is still different from the original distortion. There is a clear difference, and they are distinguished only by the difference in timbre. The tone of the distortion device tends to be coarser and coarser than the heavy rock, while the overdrive is much more delicate and pleasant.

It was made to reproduce the natural distortion sound when using a valve speaker.

Electric guitars and electric box guitars will be distorted, the sound will change, and the tone will not be right. This is usually due to a problem with the pickup module, but it can also be a problem with the pressure sensor under the string rest. The specific situation needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally these two reasons. Adopted.

A commonly used tone for electric guitars. Beyond song. Mostly electric guitar distortion.

Generally, the working voltage of the tube circuit is higher, and the current transistor electronic products work at a lower voltage, so most of the transformers in the tube circuit need to be customized, which is the reason why many friends stop. However, this circuit only supplies 12V, which greatly simplifies the fabrication, and 12V transformers are everywhere.

Some friends will be worried, can the tube work at such a low voltage? It is true that from the perspective of Hi-Fi, low voltage is not good for sharp rises, and it means distortion, but as an effect, distortion is the most well-known type of effect, and it can be said that the low voltage of the valve should be used in the effect of the same thing.

The circuit diagram is self-explanatory, but there are several practical issues. The IC1 is a dual op amp, the model does not have to be limited to the 747, it is connected to the circuit through the socket, and the op amp can be changed at any time to change the timbre. IC2 is LM340K, if you can't buy it, go buy a 7812.

The bridge pile is shown in the figure, 50V, 500mA, but this value is too small, if conditions allow, as large as possible. It is also possible to switch to four diodes, e.g. 1N4007. All resistors are 10% off.

The transformer with 120V input in the figure is the American standard, and it should be replaced with 220V input in our country, and the secondary output is still 12V, but it is strongly recommended to be higher than this value, preferably 15-18V, otherwise the IC2 output voltage may be unstable, and the secondary should be able to output a current of more than 200mA, but this is the drawing data, and it is strongly recommended that the output current is greater than 1AIn the figure, the 1N3600 can be replaced with the 1N4007. The withstand voltage of the 1000UF 12V capacitor connected to the positive electrode of the 1N3600 should be increased to more than 25V, and the 100UF 6V capacitor on the right side should also be increased accordingly.

Finally, there is the issue of the tube. As shown in the figure, the tube used is 12AU7, which is very high in the original United States, and it may not be possible to buy it. If you don't talk about it in detail, many friends who do it intentionally will give up on the circuit.

In fact, the domestic model corresponding to 12AU7 is 6N1, which will not exceed 10 yuan, and it can be seen everywhere. However, there is a problem with the filament voltage during the substitution process, in this diagram, the filament voltage is 12V, and the 6N1 filament voltage is, so the circuit must be changed when using 6N1. In the figure, the pin of 12AU7 is connected between 12V and the ground, if the 6N pin cannot be connected between 12V and the ground, it should be connected, AC and DC.

In this way, the transformer secondary must have one or 6V winding connected to the 12AU7 pin. At this time, the transformer secondary should add an additional 6V or winding, and the output current should be greater than 600mA, preferably about 1A. 6 pin ground of 1n9.

Of course, if you use 12AU7, you won't have these troubles.

As a further point about fabrication, the circuit can be made on a circuit board. The diameter of the pipe seat of 12AU7 is 20mm, drill a 20mm hole in the board, fix it, and then connect the pipe seat foot and the circuit with a wire.
