What pedals do you use for Overdrive in what amp?

I am using a Marshall Jackhammer for my main crunch tone, and a Boss SD-1 as a boost for lead solos, into Fender Tube amps/Champ,Deluxe Reverb, HRD, Princeton Reverb.
 
Re: What pedals do you use for Overdrive in what amp?

I use a TS-9 for my lead boost or a Boss CS-3 for clean boost. I have a modded Daddy-o for OD and a Modded TS-5 for crunch. But I like the idea of the Jackhammer. Maybe I can replace two pedals on the board with one?
BTW, I use a HRD and a Princeton reverb .

I set my Orange head slightly dirty so that if I play soft it's clean, and if I play harder then it crunches up slightly.

I then use a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 for a slight OD tone, a G2D Custom Overdrive for more OD and it's 2nd channel for a solo boost, and then a Spina modded TS9 Tubescreamer for most OD :)

With my current amp (Splawn Quick Rod), I don't use an OD pedal. The amp has perfect distortion.

For most amps I use an HBE Dos Mos for boost and Big D for OD.

A TS9 into Fenders. I have a TS9 RI I use in a '68 Super Reverb and I have a Ts9RI that was modded by SratDeluxer 97 that I use in a '67 Deleuxe Reverb.

In My Marshall 900 I occasionally use a Marshall Bluesbreaker.... more as a boost.

stock ts7 tube screamer into a mesa blue angel (has 2 6v6s and 4 el84s)- mostly i just use it on the 6v6 setting.

I use a jackhammer into the clean channel if I need high-gain crunch. (Judas Priest, VanHalen.... Who ever pretty much.)

Otherwise I just use the onboard gain. Onboard gain sounds like in "Rocky mountain way."

Tonebone Hot British into a clean amp. I`m very tempted to try the Jackhammer if it will get some nice thick n creamy distortion like the Tonebone.

Rocktron Silver Dragon for boosting my Bogner's red channel. The head's great but doesn't have enough gain for my tastes.
I like my modded TS-9 and SD-1 too.

My Marshall likes the ZW-44 Wylde Overdrive and Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive a lot. But I think I just paired up the perfect match. I built a Dallas Rangemaster clone and used it this weekend with the Marshall. It's perfect.

Klon Centaur or the amp's boost function on a Bogner Ecstasy 101B.

If I'm not using the amp's, I use a Rocktron Rampage into a Carvin XV-212 into a Fender 2-15 cab. MASSIVE!
 
Re: What pedals do you use for Overdrive in what amp?

At recent gigs I've been playing with a Marshall solid state 2x12 with a BOSS Blues Driver on leads and solos. The BOSS really opened it up and let my leads cut through. It also added some definition to each note I was hitting.
 
Re: What pedals do you use for Overdrive in what amp?

Fulltone OCD into a Carvin Legacy head. The head is set for a light crunch and the OCD is set for an overdrive/booster function. I can get a very wide variety of tones by playing with the pedal's controls and trying different mixes of pedal/amp gain.

Sure is nice being able to get in the ballpark of Satch, Jimi, and SRV-ish tones in one set with minimal knob tweakage. ;)

Since I don't have any speakers right now, I don't fret as hard as I normally do and pretend the sound of the string buzzing against the fret is distortion.
