  • NPD: 1st thing you buy when you get a non-MV amp lol

    Bought a new Tube Screamer Mini to go with the 18/30 I picked up

    First time I've actually owned a TS but it sort of seemed like a necessity otherwise myself and everyone within a 2 mile radius of me was going to be deaf.

    I don't have much of a board ,I use a small Black Bird board with a tuner, a boost and a boost/delay and that's about it unless something really fancy is happening. I have a few other cool things but when I am singing and playing they just get in the way. It would be fun just to be the guitar player again sometimes so I could totally geek out a bit but I like functional bands more than I like pedals

    TS/variant is the greatest in the world for Fender / Marshall classic tone. I know a lot of guys like other boosts , but IMHO, the TS just fits like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle into the front end of a Fender or Marshall.

      Good move. Such a simple way to get the impression of an amp pumping the h--- out-of the speakers.

        yup

        I looked at a few nice variants but I decided on the classic TS

        The Plimsoul is great, I really like it and I may get one down the line, every position sounds fantastic. The Tech21 BoostOD is really good and the Sparkle makes for a good presence setting. The Fat Drive is really nice too, it was a little thicker than I wanted for right now but I can totally see that working.

        When I saw the Smithereens last year Jim Babiuk was using his on and off the whole time to great effect in front of his Marshall and that kind of stuck in my head when I made the final decision of which one to get. I am sure there are tons of great ones out there these days but I really didn't want to over think it.

          Awesome! Sometimes a new config can inspire all sorts of new sounds and songs!

            Uh-oh... non-MV amp... tubescreamer... Next thing you know, you’re gonna be using the volume knob on the guitar to adjust your drive levels

                If you like the TS, you will absolutely love the 805. I use one with my non-MV Mesa, and the 3 band EQ is so much better than a single tone control.

                  I'm sure it is great, my friend's shop doesn't carry much SD stuff unfortunately and they didn't have the 805.

                    So yeah at volume I could use a little more EQ control
