Founded in 2011, the Science of Loud aims to educate and entertain musicians by explaining the science and technology of guitar equipment in an easy to understand fashion. We achieve this primarily by producing high quality video content brimming with knowledge, presented in a professional and energetic manner.

We explore the evolution of BOSS delay effects in the latest Science of Loud video - everything from 70s tape echo, all the way through to the newest SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay.

BOSS have announced their latest compact pedal - SDE-3 Dual Digital Delay.
This is a DSP recreation of the legendary '83 rack delay, the Roland SDE-3000.

Do we NEED another 5150?!
Universal Audio ANTI 1992 High Gain Amp is the latest in a long line of 5150 imitators, but does it even need to exist?

Patreon members can now view an exclusive video detailing the process of modifying an MXR Distortion +

Untethering yourself from a tangle of cables with guitar wireless systems allows you to freely roam the stage and beyond.

Pedals; We've all got 'em and want to power them from a single convenient source.

Cryptic messages about beards have been cropping up on our recent Fuzz Face video - why do I get the feeling that 60 Cycle Hum has something to do with this?

Good luck to all the Hoop Jumpers - if you want to go on a fun little internet quest in the hopes of winning a pedal - check out Ryan's latest video: https://youtu.be/gMuwzp_Wwnc?si=jIKYyuOB7HOnHCD6
