is there a clean pedal

[elvhfan]

hi guys
anyone know if there's a pedal that'll change a distorted signal to a clean signal?...kinda like adding a second channel to a single channel amp

Re: is there a clean pedal

turn off the gain stage?

apart of that.. i dont think so.. unless you're talking about a filter of somesorts.

you'd have to use a diferent amp for clean if you use the 1st one for distorted sounds

Turn your volume pot down.

Or, if you're using too much gain for that to clean it up you might have to consider setting the amp clean, and using a pedal for your gains when you want them. I don't know if that would get you satisfactory results though, that's completely up to taste

Get a volume pedal.

Put the pedal toe down and set your gain to where you like it for leads, then rock back on the pedal to drop the volume hitting the amp, which reduces the gain and cleans up the sound.

Or, learn to ride the volume knobs on your guitar.

Turn the Volume down on the guitar maybe switch to single coil, split or parallel. The volume drop is not that high but it should cleans up nice on a good amp. Works good with tube amps. That's how people make it on single channel amps i think.

If you want a pedal maybe get a volume pedal

Ride the volume controls! The cheapest option.

If you want something in pedal form I'd get a volume pedal with a minimum volume level control, like Morley's Little Alligator. Although I'd prefer riding the volume knob as it'll give you one less pedal to step on.

an amp mod is possible, but a volume knob is cheaper , sorry, no pedal.

Go run a distortion pedal through a clean amp. Then you have a clean channel and a dirty one. I'm not sure what you are asking.
