Re: Tube Distortion
Me thinks Vox makes one. They have a few tube pedals, not sure if there's any hi gain stuff.

Re: Tube Distortion
Cool, thanks for responding so fast, I have a TS9 strutdeluxer moded and more then happy with it. However in my thing, power/classic/scandinavian metal I want on some more saturation but I don't wanna sound rack-overprocessed I steel like more natural classic sound, so this is where I am from, I wanna avoid
digital-anything in my signal as much as possible. Now that we are on it are there Tube Whahs??? Thanks again.

Invadered MIA Strat, Laney Pro-Tube AOR, modded for more head room. JCM900
1960A Marshall cab. Later on after some work will be done I intend to put full-shredder in my Kramer Barreta with Floyd.

Re: Tube Distortion
Why did you have the amp modded for more headroom if you want more distortion?
You have a nice setup, a good boost pedal should do it, it doesn't have to be tube, a DS-1 or SD-1 (or similar, lots of choices) with the distortion set low and the output cranked should do it. Too much distortion will make the tone mushy and for the sound you're looking for, you want a tight sound.

Re: Tube Distortion
I bought this amp already moded, I loved the sound, it has increadibly clean powerfull crunch with my TS9. But some times I need a little more of that "powerfat" kind of Megadeath/Savatage/Electric Eye Judas Priest on the riffage,
If I get SD-1 or DS1 would make my signal digital once they are in the chain???

Re: Tube Distortion
Those use solid state technology, but it's not going to turn your rig into a Roland Jazz Chorus with tons of DSP. It won't be screaming 1's and 0's like a Digitech. I'm sure you won't be able to tell the difference.

Re: Tube Distortion
Check out the Rocktron Silver Dragon. There's a tube in it, and it mixes clipping diodes with tube distortion. I think a few people here use it.

Re: Tube Distortion
There's a huge difference between digital and analog. Digital distortions and modelling are one type and most feel that they aren't quite "there" and are missing something. Analog distortion (if done right) can be just as righteous as tube distortion. Tube doesn't necessarily equal good.

Check this company out for something cool. The Astral Tube and California sound pedals are great sounding and they are analog as far as I can tell. The clips they have sound great.
You have to click the "production" tab to get to the different pedals. Click on the pedal links to read more and hear the clips.
Rid recommended checking these folks out when I asked about a high gain distortion unit that provides all the distortion I need itself.

Re: Tube Distortion
Would u consider the SFX-03 distortion or overdrive. Most heavy bands dont used distortion pedals but lots of gain stages (usually in their HIGH GAIN amps)
