Distortion Pedals
Distortion Pedals
+ 1 for preferring the "amp distortion" .......actually prefer Power tube breakup (Amp distortion also includes solid state amps).
But I'm gassing for a Suhr Riot. Most realistic Distortion pedal I've played. Tone wise and dynamic's wise. A DS-1 can do the trick tho. I've got a Scott Ian "Bad Dog" which is basically a DS-1 (tone wise, not sure if it is for real) but also has a "boost" switch too. I prefer the "boost" off tho.
Am I the only one here who used/uses an Uber Metal ? I guess most of you got good (tube) amps, but if you gotta play on a crappy amp or something, it's a pretty good pedal
I have the m13 and I believe the insane on there is from the uber pedal. I love it for practice at home but haven't done enough with it to get good tone at live volumes. Love it through a bandit or even a tiny terror though
I used a keeley MT-2 with a clean fender clone worked pretty well but imo it's not as good as the drive from an amp, even if it's using an od pedal to push the preamps...
I did see a comparison vid on some distortion boxes a while back most of them sounded like fizzy mud...
