So I'm new to guitar (I have been playing upright and electric bass for years, but just bought my first guitar a month or so ago) and to effects. I keep hearing specific pedals referred to as High Gain or Low Gain. Googling has turned up nothing as to what that actually means (probably because the search is so generic).
Can anyone give me an 'Idiot's Version' of what that means? Maybe some classic examples of OD that falls in the 'high gain' category and some in the 'low gain' category? Is one more suited to specific genres?
