lil, more saturated lead tones??

[SonofaMitch]

okay, I have a 2 Channel Crate BV-120HR...and I was wondering if there's any pedals.or something I can use to get a "3rd Channel" Type of sound...someting I Can have operating while the Disto channel of my amp is running..but not sound super artifical..and like poo. I run a Blues/Rock, Classic Rock sound. with low output hums/singlee coils

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Arion Tubulator or a TS would work.

I use a Boss Super OD. Along with the tubescreamer it is widley used. Many "modded" type sounds came from those. I set the Volume full on with the gain about off. Add a little more grit

John Spina moded TS9 reissue with Drive on 2 and Level on 8, and Ibanez CS-9 chorus after and you will be in tonal heaven, I know I am.

Boss DS-1...my standard recomendation. Great tone...And cheap!

Lets me do it all with my guitar's volume control: clean on 5...overdriven and sustainful on 10.

The Tube Screamer won't do that...the DS-1 will.

Exotic BB preamp ...

Or SFX-03

http://drpietrzak.com/music/midburn.mp3 (about 50 Sec)

I like the SFX-03 the best.

I think from the initial post it is obvious its not about cleaning up he wants to color already distorted amp, and tube screamers do it much more elegant than distortions.

Hi Mitch
try a boss BD2 Blues driver or a boss GE7 graphic eq boost the schitt oudda a certain freq or just up the db +12 maxx on the pedal

Re: lil, more saturated lead tones??

thats originally what I was doing...using my Boss GE-7.....but I think I know what I'm gonna do now.....

I played one at my local Guitar shop and was like WOW..total Blues..and it can get gritty....3 12ax7's...4 EL34's...mmmm...single channel...but I'll be A/Bing it with my Crate BV120-HR(Sammy Hagar Limited Edish) through my Crate 4x12" Celestion Vintage 30's

heres the kicker....It's a valveking..exept 1 channel(w/ Bright Switch)..and using EL34's instead of 6L6's...still got the "texture" control...I like that...and?!?!

ONLY $560 CANADIAN!!(@ my guitar store)....so..for a CHEAP good sounding all TUBE head...I'll take it

Re: lil, more saturated lead tones??

When I was going for a more saturated lead tone I didn't get a boost I got a delay.
