Re: A pedalboard full of gain options. Anyone done it?
I only use my bluesdriver infront of my laney for leads. It does the job and i like the sound. But i do sometimes wonder if it could be bettered with a different drive, like an SD-1? Tubescreamer? a distortion? Havent really been able to try out many. My mate was selling a bunch of pedals and i A/B'd the BD-2 against a stock DS-1 and the bluesdriver sounded less harsh and nicer to me so i went with it. If the opportunities arise ill give other pedals a go.

The biggest friggin' snake I ever saw came running right past me.....
It had to be so damned funny to have been watching me.
Scared the crap out of me!!!
I dropped the weedeater & started heading up in slow motion, but fell because of the incline.....:smack: :laugh2:
I was down there one day with the weedeater hitting the part where the ground is on an incline, close to the water.ErikH said:

I have gathered a couple of nice od's I really need to try and compare with each other directly: (modded)Ts-9, (modded)SD-1, Silver Dragon, V-twin.
Def. could hook em up after each other but I worried about that setup sucking the tone dry since only the Dragon is true bypass.
But in the end I only use the TS-9 since it gives me the creamiest, smoothest & less fizzy boost. That and a tuning pedal is basicly all I need with my Bogner anyway, it just sounds right.
Next step: effects, rackmount stuff, midi board... But that's a whole lot stuff to dig into as I'm always aiming for the best possible within my reach.
I'm getting a MOSFET fulldrive first, od + clean boost = perfect!

Re: A pedalboard full of gain options. Anyone done it?
I've been doing this for a few years now.... Thru my Classic 30's clean channel i use a pedalboard with various pedals for gain... I use one of those Boss Line Selector pedals and have 2 loops.... One loop is for Rythym distortions and the other loop is for Solo distortions.... What is really nice about the Line Selector is thru an amps clean channel you can set the SOLO distortion's loop louder and you get a huge INSTANT boost of gain and volume like switching to a solo channel on a modern multi channel amp.....
Only other pedals i have besides OD/Distortion is the Line Selector, a Wah, and a Chorus...... Plus a little foot switch to turn off my cord so i can change guitars without the pop
