Hello all,
I'm forever seeking out new pedals and new tones which to me is so much fun. I'm in the hunt right now for a OD pedal or Distortion to cover a few things.
I currently own the TC electronics Spark which is a killer Boost / OD pedal that has a light OD tone to it with a super awesome Mid range boost. Much better then the Ibanez Tube screamers I have owned which are pretty damn good.
I also have the Dark matter from TC and it's ok at best. I feel it's a bit fuzzy for my taste and not tight enough for that I want it to do.
My needs are pretty simple, I need out in front of my clean channel the ability to play tones like classic rock stuff. Example would be some Bryan Adams , ZZ Top , AC DC area. Not to hard rock but from soft to hard if you know what I mean. Old Marshall heads do this fantastically and even Blues amps capture some of the type of tones I'm after. The blues pedal from boss is pretty damn good as well as their Waza overdrive.
What would you also look at to compare to get into this area of rock tone? My amp is a 2 trick pony, it does amazing Fender cleans and brutal Engl/Mesa/5150 type drive and thats it. You can back the gain down all you want, it's to aggressive to get what I'm after so I have to look into pedals to give me that 3rd channel I'm after , the Crunch if you will on the light .
Thanks for any suggestions up front
