Re: LOOKING FOR VIOLIN TYPE SOUND O/D PEDAL~~
Eric Johnson & David Gilmour are both known for using Tube Drivers.
Eric Johnson also uses a Fuzz Face, and Tube Screamers on his classic stuff. Generally not ALL on at once, he runs 3 different paths for different sounds.
Gilmour is Big Muff into Tube Driver, and sometimes a Colorsound Power Booster.
Smooth tones can be fun to sculpt from multiple devices, so you can kick in layers, going from a smooth overdrive with less high end rolled off to a more rounded violin tone by kicking on the fuzz/higher gain devices with tone rolled back.
Hermida Zendrive is another smooth OD/distortion tone, but they are another fairly expensive boutique pedal.
That P19 sounded killer, but I kept wondering what it could do on a neck pickup, which is where people tend to go for smoothness out of a strat. Curious oversight in that demo.
P19 is apparently designed to sound like Gilmour's Pi into Power Boost tone.
There's a ridiculous variety of options, all good for different players and rigs. If you want smooth, the P19 is great. But not cheap. You could get a couple of others for variety/stacking cheaper. But if simplicity and no bad sounds appeals, P19 looks like a strong contender. A lot of Pi clones copy the original's tricky settings, where there's maybe 2 useful settings for the filter/tone control...
