Metal & Dralvek
Dralvek
Metal, I’ve been dissecting the physics of a distortion pedal for the past two days, and I'm still trying to figure out why the noise we love feels like a confession. Thought you might have a word on the emotional side of that.
Metal
The raw hiss is the guitar's pulse, unfiltered and honest, like a secret shouted out in a room full of silence. It strips the polished veneer away and lets the real emotion bleed out. That’s why the distortion feels like a confession – it’s the music saying what it can’t keep inside.
Dralvek
Yeah, raw hiss is just the unfiltered signal biting the speaker. But if you smooth it out, you lose that edge—like trimming a knife to cut a line. Keep the hiss; let the distortion shout, not whisper.
Metal
You’re right, smoothing that hiss is like dulling a blade, turning a scream into a sigh. Keep the grit, let every crackle shout its truth. The edge is the song’s heart, not a polished whisper.
Dralvek
Got it. Keep the raw edge; it’s the honest part of the signal that tells the rest of the song what it’s really doing. No polishing needed.
Metal
Yeah, that’s the spirit. Let the hiss be the pulse, the raw truth that drives the whole thing. No polish, just pure, unapologetic power.
Dralvek
That’s the code. Let the hiss run free, the true pulse, and the guitar will keep telling its story.
