When i was starting out playing guitar, I thought great tone came from buying one more pedal or swapping amps. But if I’m honest, most of my frustration didn’t come from bad gear - it came from confusion. MIDI never talked to what it was supposed to. Pedals behaved differently depending on where I put them. Sometimes a buffer fixed everything… and sometimes it completely wrecked my sound.

Where Would You Like To Start?
Improving Your Guitar Tone
Great tone comes from how everything works together, not from one magic pedal.
Optimizing Your Rig
Stop guessing why pedals, buffers, and MIDI behave differently every time you plug in.
Does Your Pedalboard Feel Like a Mystery?
This Is for You
Once I started understanding signal chain order, where buffers actually help (and where they hurt), and how MIDI is supposed to simplify your rig instead of making it feel like a science project, everything changed. I stopped guessing. I stopped constantly rewiring my board. And most importantly, my tone became repeatable - night after night, room after room.
That’s what Better Guitar Tone is about.
