Members Bobbyblue27 Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hey all. Looking for some suggestions on distortion pedals. I'm looking to downsize my rig. Sick of lugging it around! I'm currently playing out of a Marshall jcm2000 through a custom Avatar 2x12 cab w a V30 and an Eminence Swamp thang. I want to downsize to my modded Fender Hot Rod Deluxe but the drive channel on that is TERRIBLE. Is there a pedal that offers a comparable Marshall gain sound? I play straight up Rock and am also in a Pearl Jam tribute band. So I'm not looking for a clippy Nirvana grunge pedal nor a metal type distortion. I want something that will give my Deluxe some balls but won't be piercing and trebly at loud volumes. As close to Marshall as possible. I have a modded TS9 for that OD sound but I need something w more gain. A distortion pedal not another OD pedal. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bobbyblue27 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks Tom. I'm liking the videos of this. How does it handle high volume (in a full band situation). Is it harsh/trebly? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrentMpls Posted November 16, 2013 Members Share Posted November 16, 2013 There was a lovetone pedal that was a clone of something I can't remember, but the lovetone was called the Purple Plexi 800. Fully cranked it sounds like a 800/2000 and more plexi territory before that. Look for a clone or variant would be my suggestion, it was amazing how Marshall-esque it sounded!
