hi
i was listening to Clapton live in the 70's

and i played with some pedals

i had his sound with the
-Boss blues driver (not waza) : some hum too

and for Yngwie i have found the
- Vox Satchurator which is versatile

and for you, what's your best overdrive with a strat?
 
Re: best overdrive with a strat

For Strat are you saying like traditional 3 single coils? ;)

I use a Fender Strat with Fat 50s and it sounds best through a Mad Professor Golden Cello through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe...like the best tone I've had.

Honorable mentions: Suhr Shiba and Mad Professor Ruby Red (Overdrives, not distortions ;) )

Well, excuse us for tinkering. I bet you also refuse to drink Grey Goose, because if it isn't from a Slavic country it's not vodka... :9:

Anyway, I haven't had the money or time to experiment with amps and pedals to find the tone, but I get workable results out of either my true SC Strat with GFS Greybottoms, or my newer partscaster with Gold Lace Sensors, through a Hardwire Tube OD (basically a Bad Monkey with an extra boosted voicing mode) into a clean amp. The best overdrive I've ever gotten anywhere was actually through a Peavey Valve King half-stack, which a lot of people say is a very "vanilla" amp, but all I had to do was plug in, turn up, hit a chord and feel the tubey goodness.

I really like the PlimSoul, it is juicy and that really complements the single coils, it also helps it as a lot of range

Re: best overdrive with a strat

my strat is a vintage classic player : ) with hum ;(

but it can be versatile with some settings

i wanted to buy the new Fender red overdrive Malsteem and i noticed i had the Satchurator lol
boss blues driver

i don't use the ts9 anymore
now there are better models: t9 mini , ts9 +boost true bypass
 
Re: best overdrive with a strat

I like the Soul Food with single coils. And the OCD. And the Boss FBM-1 '59 Bassman character pedal.

They say that the best Strat OD is the Hermida Zendrive. They are pretty pricey. Of course, thats for most who cannot afford a Klon.
 
Re: best overdrive with a strat

I'm fine with the BB Preamp or the SD-1. It's worth noting, though, that my Strat is a HSS.

Re: best overdrive with a strat

The xotic ac is pretty great with both strats and teles (im talking about traditional single coil setups).
The nobels odr-1 is really good too for different reasons.
However none of this stuff is relevant because it comes down to what works with not just the axe, but really the particular amp you are using.
