beginner distortion pedal GDS-20 | Distortion PedalThe word "distortion" jumped in use beginning in the 1950's we attribute that to electric guitars. When you start talking about Distortion and Overdrive pedals, it's important to remember the differences between the two. Overdrive pedals achieve their effect by exploiting the gain of an audio signal. The lower the gain, the warmer and more subtle it is. The higher the gain, the more drastic it is. Distortion, on the other hand, impacts low and high

The word "distortion" jumped in use beginning in the 1950's... we attribute that to electric guitars.

When you start talking about Distortion and Overdrive pedals, it's important to remember the differences between the two. Overdrive pedals achieve their effect by exploiting the gain of an audio signal. The lower the gain, the warmer and more subtle it is. The higher the gain, the more drastic it is. Distortion, on the other hand, impacts low and high gain signals equally by clipping the peaks of the signal's sine wave regardless of volume level. The CNZ GDS-20 is a great workhorse distortion pedal. It gives you Level, Gain, and Tone controls while also letting you choose between 3 types of distortion via a toggle-switch. All of it fits in our standard "mini" case. Whether you like your distortion subtle and dark or obvious and bright, you'll love this pedal.

      Detailed Operation

      The Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal from CNZ Audio fills a broad range in the the distortion spectrum. This is the pedal for you if you are looking to add a slight, rough edge to your classic style or dive deep into distortion with classic heavy metal!

      Three distinct types of distortion are available by using the 3 position Toggle Switch on the pedal. The normal setting gives a softer, warmer tone, while the tight setting has a bit more dirt and higher end tone than the normal setting. The classic setting has an extremely dirty sound for the metal head. Between all 3 choice, every end of distortion is covered on this pedal.

      The Level knob essentially adjusts the volume or output from the pedal. For more output, turn it clockwise and for less, turn it counterclockwise. Using this level knob makes it easy to control the level from the pedal to match just the right amount of sound.

      The Tone knob allows you to adjust the literal tone from this pedal. Turning it clockwise will bring out a more high end sound that's good for solos and turning it counterclockwise brings out a warmer, less dirty sound and fills your music well.

      The Gain knob in the middle allows for adjusting the amount of distortion in the overall mix of the pedal. For more distortion, turn it clockwise and for less distortion, turn it counterclockwise. Using this feature will help to create just the right amount of drive for the sound you need. Inspire Your Music!

      Lashes like Garbo
      Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer, Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer
      I think this might be my new go to mascara. I have the teeniest tiniest lashes ever, they are straight and stick out from my eyelids and without mascara I look like I have no lashes so it’s a struggle finding mascaras that make my lashes look lush. Let me start off by saying that the primer is amazing. As soon as I put it on my lashes grew over twice in length! It didn’t clump and separated my lashes like whoa( the clumping with these lash fiber or extra lengthening mascaras is always horrendous so that was a wonderful surprise), it dried in about 20 seconds and then I put on the coal black mascara. Vavoom ladies! Instant fabulous lashes. So far I have experienced zero flaking after wearing for long periods of time , it hasn’t smudged or melted when I’m dancing up a storm or getting my workout on and the length of my lashes is practically miraculous. It is not cry proof. It’s super easy to remove and doesn’t tear out any of my eyelashes though, so that’s another plus! Also, I have celiac disease and a host of other random allergies and am allergic to SO MANY products it’s ridiculous, but luckily I am not allergic to this magic mascara. I recently discovered that this doesn’t smudge on my bottom lashes either! I’m almost 40 and I have never found a mascara that didn’t smudge on my bottom lashes. I’m so oily that even waterproof ones didn’t work! I stopped wearing it on my bottom lashes for anything but photo shoots after 20yrs old because the smudging made me look like an old lady with terrible makeup skills,but now I can once again rock liner on my bottom lashes! I included a terrible picture ( I hate getting my picture taken!) and tried to crop it so you can get an idea of how amazing this mascara is( look at those lashes practically touching my brow bone!),because I know I always want to actually see the results of people using the product, so hopefully it helps. :-) Ps: I don’t have mascara on my bottom lashes in the pic as I didn’t discover it was even a possibility for me until I bought a tube for my bestie ( another oily faced queen)and she told me there was no smudging:-O
