Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

Did I say distortion, I meant overdrive.

D.O.D, Gonkulator circa 1995 will take care of all the criteria. Should be able to buy one on ebay for a minimal fee. :dance:
 
Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

Is it just me or is everyone else really confused as to what it is that Seafoamer wants?? And does colour really matter??

All seafomer really wants is a small rodent and some privacy.

If you aren't a troll...

Get a marshall jackhammer O/D pedal.
It dont need to be modded to get perfect tone.

Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

What, 90% of what you want is in the color of the pedal, ever heard of a can of spray paint, come on, that DID sound trollish.

Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

jackhammer is silverish gold uh oh i dont think that falls into ur color listings but i think ur old enough to buy spray paint
 
Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

Gold just isn't going to compliment the other pedals on my board. Stick to the palette people!!!
 
Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

Can I see something in, ...say..., a seafoam green???
 
Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

Um, Ibanez tube screamer.
Digitech badmonkey.

only ones in green that I know of, unless you go to the WAY upper end of things that you wouldnt dream of modding.
 
Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

The marshall jackhammer is a cool little unit, you can get lots of sounds out of it and it has a OD/Distortion switch. The filter knobs are trickey but you can get everything from scooped Mesa Metal sounds to Creamy overdrive.
I quite like mine

Re: HELP!!! I need a distortion pedal???

You're in luck! I have recently constructed a DIY distortion project that I think is perfect for you:

1) Buy a Danelectro Honeytone amp
2) plug your guitar into the amp
3) Crank the amp
4) Proceed to take a crap on the Honeytone amp
5) Now, place the honeytone inside of a 5 foot long barrel of PVC piping.
6) Place a condeser mic at the opposite end (or better yet, a computer microphone)
7) tape the mic and honeytone amp down and seal off the ends of the pipe. maybe add a random sock two thirds of the way towards the microphone (make sure its unwashed)
8) buy a 1/4 inch converter for the end of the mic and plug that into your main amp.

...and no solder is necessary! Best of all, you can paint the big mamaluke seafoam green!

EDIT: you may omit step 4 if you're looking for only an overdrive.

Maybe I'll just rig a bicycle rim & baseball card to my pedal board.
