Episode: Episode 6: Dirt Pedals, Black Sabbath, and Germanium vs. Silicon
Description: This week we talk about three key types of circuits that add dirt and flavor to your guitar tone: boosts, overdrives, and distortions. We recreate the searing, gain heavy guitar tone of Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, and we talk about the differences between germanium and silicon when it comes to the construction of electrical components and their use in guitar accessories.
