Give Your Techno A Gritty Industrial Edge With These 4 Distortion Pedals
Does your industrial techno need more metal?
Subtlety is often an essential virtue in techno production, but sometimes what your sparkly new Ableton track really needs is some raw. metal. power.
Budding techno producers can greatly benefit from the cross-pollination of gear from the realms of metal and industrial music, and sending tracks through the distortion pedals from rock’s harder sub-genres can coat your synthetic sounds in the charcoal grit essential to any banging industrial or hard techno track.
But don’t worry if you haven’t kept up with the wide variety of distortion pedals on the market; this list compiles four of the best at giving your studio that much-needed metallic edge. With each pedal offering slightly different features, it’s a must-read for techno producers trying to push the genre to its limits. Check out the full list at Ask Audio here.
