Description

For this tutorial I'm going to be using my Gibson 335, and I'll be running it through a modeled VOX AC30 amp with a little bit of reverb. The amp is overdriving a little bit on it's own, but I'm still adding an overdrive pedal similar to a Tube Screamer in front of it. We'll be playing full chords today, so don't use too much gain for the examples.
