Grind generally refers to overdrive, as in: "crushing wall of tight grind".
Sorta same as a referral to "screaming distortion".
I was just reading about a pedal that has "grind". And I realized I have no idea what that means. I even have a modded tube screamer which the modder told me had plenty of "grind".
Can anyone help me out here? Even with clips that demonstrate?
Thanks!

I think of it as a raspy kind of distortion. Like a cheese grater for tone.

Somehow that doesn't sound like a good thing. Maybe I'm missing something? But I like smoother sounds.Originally Posted by Robert

Hmm. So grind is kind of a metal thing? Or would we count asymmetrical clipping on an overdrive as grind?

Great question Birv.
I understand crunch, quack, fat, chime, & shimmer but it took a while.
I pick a moon dog.
I think the answer depends on who you ask. You know, like "groovy". That could mean how a tight funk band sounds, or it could be a description of hard swinging jazz tune, etc. It might mean different things to different people.

I get those too. At least, I know what they sound like in MY head.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
