Episode show notes:

Is modern guitar tone really getting boring because everyone’s using the same amp sims and plugins? 

In this episode, Manel and Benedikt dig into that idea and share their thoughts on how to actually stand out with your tone - even if you’re using the same tools as everyone else.

They talk about creative ways to shape your sound, like layering different instruments, using weird gear or effects in unexpected ways, and most importantly, really getting to know the tools you already have.

This one’s all about mindset: instead of skipping through plugin presets, we're encouraging you to experiment, break the “rules,” and carve out a tone that’s 100% yours.

Takeaways:

• Being in the box can be a powerful tool. Not a limitation.
• You can create unique guitar tones with what you have.
• Amp simulations offer endless creative possibilities.
• Understanding your gear is crucial if you want to craft unique sounds.
• Layering different instruments can enhance guitar tones.
• You can use unconventional tools for recording.
• Experimentation is key to finding your sound.
• Don't be afraid to break the rules of music production.
• Your playing style is what truly makes your sound unique.

Enjoy!
