I use dirt pedals, a wah, and not much else.... I have a delay pedal, and a couple modulation pedals. I’ve had multieffects units in the past. At the end of the day, I just never really use them, and they don’t stay on my board for long.
Any other dirt fiends out there? Any suggestions about what I get next?
What major flavors of dirt does a blues rock / hard rock / early metal guy need?
I’ve snapped a photo of the board im using the most often these days. I'm already thinking about getting a Klon style overdrive, like a Wampler Tumnus, as I don't really have anything like that just yet. Otherwise, I have multiple different flavors of dirt on tap, and I am wondering if there's another sound I'm missing.
Regarding the dirt circuits out there, Here's my thinking on what I own, use, and might get:
Fuzzface style: check
Tube screamer style: check
Echoplex style: check
Blues drive styler: check
Compressor: check
Klon style: possibly a wampler tumnus?
Big muff style: I've owned big muff style circuits in the past, and I don't like them – I need those mids!
RAT style: I own one. They're cool. I wouldn't use it that often though
Marshall-style: my Blackstar does a good job of this. I also have a JHS AT-2, but I found it redundant once I started using this amp
Transparent boost: I have a spark mini. It's a fantastic pedal, but I have so many stacking options right now that I don't need a 100% clean boost
Dumble style: what does this even mean?
Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!
