YouTube

Lil has a YouTube channel in which he explores how different elements of recording, such as guitar components and amplifiers, affect sound. He found that string type, wood type and body shape contributed little or no difference to the guitar sound, and that he could recreate the tone of classic guitar amplifiers with cheap effect pedals.
