Trying out some new pedals and revisiting my G&L Legacy Special and boogie dc-3, after the gig tonight i'm definitely not selling the boogie or G&L.
The G&L Legacy special worked so well with the DC-3 and was such a pleasure to play, such an easy to play and excellent sounding guitar, the legacy special is such a versatile instrument, the other guitarist tonight had a strat with stock single coils and the legacy special really could match the quack and air that the single coil strat was dishing out.When I wanted it to do silly gain and over the top shred nonsense it could do that in spades too.
New pedals were the wampler dual fusion which was just like having another amp channel, really touch responsive and sounded great, 2 channels, I set it up so channel 1 went into channel 2, I used CH 1 vintage as a mid gain solo drive, I used CH2 modern with the gain all the way down and as a clean solo boost, it really worked great, another very versatile OD that sounds class.
Mxr modified OD, basically a tube-screamer with bass control, worked really great in front of the boogie cleans.I really enjoyed this pedal doing the low to mid gain dirty blues, really smooth sounding and very touch sensitive on the lower gain settings.
The Blackstar HT-dual, I'd mentioned this pedal before and my thoughts haven't changed, channel 1 on this pedal is very amp-like , not quite as close as the wampler for feel, but still very very good, for me it's my marshall in a box pedal but really can be dialed in for anything, I really like this for marshall rock rhythm and it's another very versatile pedal with full bass mid and treble controls ,CH2 on this pedal does sound and feel very compressed and not very amp-like but does do the heavy distortion legato stuff easily, I'd like if this pedal could be modded for CH2 to be closer to CH1
