What distortion pedal?

[75lespaul]

or overdrive etc...

To be used with a bassman or a Champ/Univox U-45B combination. Want to get heavy tones ala Crate Blue Voodoo etc...good all around distortion that can be adjusted for hard rock & metal like Priest, Rush and a little harder. The amps themselves give that great vintage rock tone, but to kick it into overdrive...lol :smoker:

Not sure how it'd do for that, But from the soundclips it seems like it can do anything and thats the boss Mega distortion. As soon as I get my new amp payed off, im gettin one.


Im sure the electro-Harmonix English muffin' would be great for ya tho. Depends on what ya want to pay tho. Theres also the carl-martin Plexi Tone.

Anything that does the 80's marshall tones should work. I have a jackhammer JH-1, and it'd "work" for thoes tones, but its not very powerful, better for the lighter stuff.

Hey, I forgot about the Jekyll & Hyde! Thanks.

I had the delay/chorus pedal and didn't like it too much but I've heard good things about their distortion pedals. :smoker:

AAAAH. I used a rat for many years. I loved it but I don't think it will have as broad a use as I was looking for.

mega distortion gets my +1!
I narrowed it down to mega distortion and rocktron zombie distortion before I went for the zombie. because the zombie was much cheaper, as heavey and more fun. it's a close call, tho. mega distortion is better built which explains the price. also, after I bought it, I noticed the rocktron zombie's by pass flat out sucks. it sounds like the volume knob on my guitar turned down 30%! but since I have it on most of the time it's ok.
how much is the mega now anyway.
it was $99 not long ago.

Re: What distortion pedal?

with my marshall slp / 4-12 set up / HB GTR/ I use a TC Booster 1st, then an Ibanez TS-9 RI. and sometimes a Tube Driver. Strats I use an Ibanez sonic distortion or a boss sd 1. Depend on which amp also.
Good luck

I'd buy a line6 distortion pedal modeler.

+1 on the Tube Driver.

I use a Jekyll & Hyde, it's a fabulous pedal.
