Dec 25, 2013 at 0:26 comment added Dan Gayle @Chipsgoumerde It depends on the distortion. An ultra high gain pedal will certainly make every mistake stick out, but a more fuzzy distortion like a Muff will cover up a multitude of mistakes. See also: The Melvins
May 3, 2013 at 20:52 comment added Chipsgoumerde I do not agree. It is a lot more difficult to sound clean with distortion because every little mistakes does make a lot more unwanted sound. As I said, for me distortion is a different instrument, and if it's the way you want to play, the sooner you get at it, the better.
May 3, 2013 at 20:09 comment added Tony I agree with play with effects if you want to, they're a lot of fun. I do think playing with distortion and practicing with it on is a good idea. I don't think it's a good idea to practice with distortion all the time. It will mask a lot of mistakes and imperfections in your technique. If you can play something in a clean tone perfectly, it will sound that much better when you add effects.
