Gang of 6 - Distortion

[Bogner]

I figured this might be a good way to turn folks onto some new pedals by listing your favorites that you own/use. They can be high, medium or low gain as long as they are distortion pedals. List them up.

Your 6 heavy hitter distortion pedals.

1. Klirrton - Oh My Goat
2. Empress - Heavy
3. Revv - G3
4. Klirrton - Grindstein
5. Emma Electronics - Pisdiyauwot
6. Rock Fabrik - Mind Abuse

Here are some great ones.

 

[ErikH]

I own one that could really be a distortion but called an overdrive.

EVH 5150 Overdrive. It crushes.

 

[Mr. 80's]

ProCo Rat2
Ibanez TS7
EHX Metal Muff w/top boost

 

[beaubrummels]

RambleFX Marvel Drive
Carl Martin PlexiTone
Marshall Guv'nor

I lean more towards specific amp emulations than just generic distortion boxes.

It is indeed a great pedal. The overdrive thread is coming.

 

[PFDarkside]

Wampler Pinnacle - my favorite still

 

[LLL]

Steel Panther Butthole Burner
ProCo RAT 2
MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Have the first one..

Had the second but it got pinched at a gig..

Love to get my hands on the third.. :bigthumb:

 

[Phantasmagoria]

..three more :bigthumb:

Not everyone shares the love...but this is actually a killer pedal for ultra-sick Death Metal Tones (and has quite an edge over it's Digitech counterpart) of every description, especially when stuck in front of a tube amp. Chances are there is'nt a 'balls-heavy' pedal out there that does'nt get it's DNA from this pedal whether admitted (like Landmine) or not...

Nothing beats this baby for sheer \m/ versatility..

Yeah, and not an easy pedal to get hold of and replace either....what can I say? .. life sucks

Boosted HM-2 (or run actives into it) is all that is ever needed.

How do you like that VH4 pedal?

How do you like that VH4 pedal?

Absolutely ripped. I may have to get my hands on another one.

I like the amps, wasn't incredibly fond of the pedals. Those amps have such unique power sections that I found the pedal couldn't capture the overall sound. Now that being said...the pedals (for what they are) were able to get cool sounds.
