Artist Spotlight: Yvette Young

 

Yvette Young is a trailblazing guitarist, songwriter, and visual artist best known for her intricate finger-tapping technique and emotionally rich compositions. As the frontwoman of the math rock band Covet, she has redefined the possibilities of the electric guitar, blending classical influences from her early piano and violin training with modern alternative rock and post-rock sensibilities. Her music is not just about technical skill—it’s a deeply personal form of self-expression, a way to channel emotions into soundscapes that resonate with listeners worldwide.

In a recent video, Young shared her experience with DigiTech pedals, highlighting how the Whammy Ricochet and FreqOut have become essential tools in her sonic palette. The Ricochet allows her to execute dramatic pitch shifts without a whammy bar, creating fluid transitions that add movement and depth to her compositions. Meanwhile, the FreqOut pedal provides organic-sounding feedback that enriches her melodies, helping her craft the ethereal, immersive tones that define both her solo work and Covet’s sound.

With a growing discography, including Covet’s latest album Catharsis (2023), Young continues to push creative boundaries, using DigiTech pedals to expand her musical language. Watch the full video below to see how she brings these innovative sounds to life:
