The eternal Fender vs Gibson debate 🎸 We decided to put them head to head and listen to how they compare across three gain stages: clean, crunch, and distortion. ✨ Clean The difference is immediate. Fender delivers a more open, articulate sound where each note is clearly separated. Gibson sounds denser, with a stronger midrange and a greater sense of body. 🔥 Crunch Here the sound becomes more dependent on picking attack. Fender highlights dynamics and moves from clean to breakup more quickly.
