The REAL Difference Between Series and Parallel Guitar Effects

What practically changes when you run series vs. parallel effects? Will anyone really be able to tell the difference? Are there any tangible benefits? Is parallel worth the extra effort?

Great questions. As always, my answer - It depends.

Every guitar player has a different 'sound' they are trying to achieve. For some, parallel will be the way to get there, for others, nothing could be farther from what they want.

Todays video will give you practical examples and show you what to listen for when starting the decision making process between series and parallel effects. Yes, it is a process, but it's well worth it.
