Slipperman's Distorted Guitars From Hell

Came across this on Fletcher's site. This is pure gold. I've never before read the thread in its entirety until now.

Lots of profanity though... You've been warned.

I find this every bit as amusing and more informative than Mixerman.

Gamblor, I still owe you a guitar comparison don't I? I may get around to that this week...

Yeah I've read through that before, but it's due for another read. The section on kick drums is absolute genius.

WRONG.

When you go into mix on this stuff downstream, you are going to be hating life as you start to rip and goose various frequencies to make your guitars work in your mix... And you're gonna find a WORLD OF FUCKING HURT contained in the differences in 'Diaphragmatic Distortion', 'Pre-Amp Distortion', 'Gain Reduction Artifact Distortion', 'Tape Distortion', and f1i 'Source Distortion' f0i0 . Which is basically the ONLY form of distortion that doesn't sound like COCK AND BALLS after the fact. Any of those other guys are the totally satanic 'Gifts that keep on giving'.

Those other forms of distortion are like herpes..... You may not see those little suckers on yer pee-pee till it's TOO LATE. And you've already started banging the crap outta Mrs. Right. The babe of your dreams. Guess what, loomer? She's GONNA be PISSED when she finds out you gave her the 'Bumpies'. She WILL NOT be taking fond memories of you into her next relationship.
