Perhaps I’m wrong, but isn’t this more of a video about pedal order than gain staging? Isn’t gain staging more about setting optimal levels for the next thing in the chain, regardless of what it might be? I get that with guitars some pedals work well in a certain order going from low gain to high gain probably, but it feels like if the video is about gain staging it would be more about finding the optimal output volumes going from one pedal to another.
I'm a big fan of the BOSS/JHS Angry Driver, which is an Angry Charlie and a Blues Driver in one pedal. You can go from AC into BD, or vice-versa, run parallel, and each is a separate circuit.
Great video for describing gain stages and stacking! Think there's room to talk about staging gain in amps? Boost, distortion preamp or in the loop, even changing preamp tubes can have an effect on the flavor of gain character. Y'all rock keep rocking
Could you do one on how to get some of the more common Metal tones? E.g.: The Metallica Black album tone, the Dimebag Darrel tone, the Black Sabbath tone.

Are your string-through holes perfectly aligned at the back of your Lockhorn Zipper?
Is anyone else kinda sad Ryan didn't play the intro lick to Limelight when the Limelight pedal was kicked on? 😂
Ryan is a nice young man who used to deliver my newspaper.

That's a great idea!
I have four distortion pedals and will stack 2 or 3 with different settings and sounds that complement each other, and build things up
What's your favorite drive pedal combo? I'll start-I love a Klon style (typically an EHX Soul Food) into a Rat.
Right now I've got an EP Booster going into a Waza Craft Blues Driver into a Duke Of Tone.
I have used the Archer into the Rat forever! Great stuff!
The Tim sounds great! I bet it would work well in setup one.
My eyes popped out my head a little when I saw where you had your gain knobs set. ;-)
Big ups to LOE Sounds!
what about running effects pedals in parallel instead of series
I love messing about with different pedal postitions.
Not sure this is about gain staging?
This is so rad!!!❤
