・A deep dive into both aspects of amplifiers/pedals, analog/digital

[Special feature content]
Roughly classifying the guitar sound system, it can be divided into two major trends: ""British"" and ""American"". The former is, for example, Eric Clapton from the Cream era, and the latter is the same Clapton, but has a tone after Derek and the Dominos. To put it bluntly, the difference is whether it's ""hard rock"" with its distorted, roaring sound, or ""swamp rock"" with its nuanced, adult phrasing. In short, they have different areas of expertise. In this special feature, we will delve deeper into ""American"". In contrast to ""British"", which has an easy-to-understand rock-like distortion, ""American"" has a moody sound with ambiguous distortion that is its greatest appeal. This has long been said to be an area that is difficult to express with effector circuits, but in recent years research has progressed and the number of excellent products has increased. Considering music trends, the mainstream has become ``gentle tones that captivate listeners with playing nuances,'' rather than ``depressing listeners with macho distortion,'' so perhaps it could be said that ``American'' is the effector that matches the current times. This time, we will feature pedals with such an ""old but new sound"".
