Grunge/Metalcore pedal board/ rig built around Palladium and Power Stage 170

[h3r3t1k]

I've found this video super cool: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/product-news/seymour-duncan-v-blog

I would want to use a different drive pedal, delete the delay, add wah and tuner and be done.

Guitar is a SG-style and for PUs I'd like to use a Custom and and a 59 bridge version in the neck. Tuning is Drop C# (C#G#C#F#A#D#). Strings are 10-52s with a 56 replacing the 52.

What drive would you recommend? Sound like a good idea?

I love the Maxon 808.

Will I need a noise suppressor if I drive the Palladium really hard with a 808?

I wouldn’t think so but...

As a clean boost or dirt to dirt?

I think I would need an OD to drive the Palladium really hard to get a Grunge and especially metal tone OR add lots of distortion from the pedal. Then put the suppressor after the Palladium to filter out noise before the signal goes to the power amp?
