Is there any benefit to solder resistors almost in a vertical position?

Please see pics. Some resistors are almost standing on end. Is it for a performance reason, technique or to save space? Thank you!

1/4w resistors in a spot for 1/8w resistors.

Thank you!

Axials that identify as radials.

If you look in almost any old Ibanez pedal you'll see most of the resistors soldered in vertically. I guess it was to save space, as there's usually a ton of them.

The electrons get more speed going downhill into the next component.

It's sometimes done with higher wattage resistors to keep excessive heat away from the PCB.

Thank you! That's exactly where I've seen this. Older Ibanez pedals

It seems standard for old transistor radios--the only ones soldered flat are on the underside

Ty!

I was thinking about doing this for better heat dissipation. It adds a bit of technical ability to a project too. Looks more interesting.

Dead End Fx has an Ibanez fuzz repro project …

I was very curious and bought this clone for $30 on ETSY. I was really surprised to see the quality inside was pretty good. Then I started thinking about the resistors positioning on their pcb.

Despite Delyk telling you the UpDownDaddy is named after a game played with a daughter being tossed in the air like a salad,
the reason the project is named such as it is is because nearly all resistors go up/down, Daddy-O.

All or part of the above statement may be false, but the contrary may also be true.
