I have a Blackstar HT-1 (soon to be a HT-20R MkII) with a Fender Blacktop stratocaster, Slash APH-2B in the bridge and soon to be Seth Lover in the neck.
I really love the sound of the APH-2B through my Sansamp Classic, but it seems to struggle with neck pickups sound very muddy. I'm told this might be because it's a preamp rather than a pure OD pedal.
So I'd like a pedal that plays a bit more nicely with the neck pickup too. I previously had a Boss SD-1 and it was a bit too thin/trebly sounding for my liking. I like the sound of the Mesa V Twin and the EHX Soul Food, with the former most commonly recommended for a thick rhythm tone - but bit worried it might have the same issue as the Sansamp being a preamp pedal?
Which would you go for? Or are there any other pedals worth considering?
