Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
I've never heard of the Tone City, but I use the Joyo and I love it. It's been on my board for about 3-4 years at this point. I've never had any problems with it. It's my go-to OD pedal for pretty much everything. It's very responsive to volume knob tweaks and pickup changes.
The MP Sweet Honey Deluxe has me GASing pretty hard though.

Have you tried a Golden Cello? IF yes, what did you think of it compared to the Sweet Honey?
It sounds like an awesome pedal, just don't have anymore room on my board for more pedals! lol

:bigthumb: Great pedal! I have two. Some will shy away because it (JOYO Sweet Baby) is so inexpensive, made in China, and was cloned from the MP Sweet Honey, but that's their loss.

Never tried the golden cello. I have been intrigued though.

I really really love the Golden Cello...very unique pedal. The Sweet Honey seems like one I would really like, but I just don't have any room on my board. lol

I am not aware of any; however, there was a flood of cheap GCs on Amazon, don't know if they were real or fake.
I have not tried the Super Overdrive through my Hot Rod Deluxe, the Keeley Modded DS-1 I had didn't really take too well to my HRD...I think it was better suited for a Marshall, IMO.

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
I have a ton of OD pedals, currently I am in like with my Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet. It covers a lot of ground and will dial into a lot of different amps..
I am getting ready to get another OD pedal and I am liking the the Mad Professor Royal Blue and the new Sweet Honey Deluxe that is coming out.
I also like the Way Huge Saucy Box and the JHS Morning Glory. So many good dirt and OD pedals on the market, It's a great time to be a pedal addict..
Getting your tone from your amp is fantastic if you live somewhere you can crank your amp to get the tone you want.. Where I live that is not an option.
I use moderate to low volumes and dirt boxes..

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
Haven't tried a Royal Blue, but it looks like it would be awesome! Definitely liking the added Bass and Treble knobs on the Sweet Honey! Would love to get one someday.
A pedal I traded away and miss is the Way Huge Fat Sandwich–so much control on the tone!

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
Way Huge makes good stuff.. I am leaning towards the Sweet Honey Deluxe but they wont be out until April or May. I also like the added treble and bass knobs.
My EVH puts out so much low end that it's nice to have a pedal with the ability to dial back the lows.

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
I've only bought one pedal brand new (a Rat 2, which I sold on CL for what I paid for it) so if the SHD comes out in April/May then it will be later this year or next year before I get one
Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried a Metal Muff W/Top Boost? The high end boost on that may help you out...just a thought.

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
Yeah, the Metal Muff sounds great! I don't really need high gain though with the EVH. I like low gain pedals on my clean channel for a bluesy classic rock tone.

Re: Hot Rod Deluxe Drive Pedal Recommendations
I see! Golden Cello would be my go to pedal for the Bluesy Rock style at low gain

I've never tried that pedal but if the Joyo US Dream I had is any indication then it should be a solid pedal for ya and awesome for the price!

Definitely. That's what I spent on mime about 3 or so years ago and it's been one of my main pedals ever since.
