Members AlexMC Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just bought my first tube amp but it's completely clean...I need a dirt pedal or two for the following tones: Gary Moore, David Gilmour, Peter Green, BB King. All I've got is a Digitech Bad Monkey but it's not very transparent and doesn't have enough drive for some applications... Considering the Okko Diablo but it's kinda expensive...

Members t-rey Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Dr Scientist The Elements. It is easily the most versatile dirt pedal I have ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrChrisos Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 If you want all of those tones as well as something transparent, you might best best looking at different pickup configurations. If you use humbuckers, both Peter Green and BB King used phase switches - a pretty easy little mod for any guitar. For a transparent overdrive I'd always recommend the Paul Cochrane Timmy.

Members macadood Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 may i suggest the Skreddy Lunar Module Deluxe. its quite versatile and can do lots of tones, from pretty much clean boost to subtle overdrive to all out fuzz and heavy ass fuzz with everything in between.

Members mhuxtable Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 you're gonna get as many answers as their are forum members. easy place to start that is inexpensive is an OCD, a Keeley Blues Driver, or a Tube Screamer type thing. Catalinbread makes some cool pedals "flavored" like your favorite amps....Formula No. 5 (tweed), WIIO (hiwatt), Dirty Little Secret (marshall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A.P. Ryder Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 For a transparent overdrive I'd always recommend the Paul Cochrane Timmy. You're going to get a million different recommendations - and this is mine, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lotlizard Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 For Gilmour, I would recommend something like the Skreddy Lunar Module. I'm using a Muff w/ the Tone Wicker switch to put myself into that tonal range and an Analog Man modded SD1 for light to mid gain rhythm and modern country sounds.

Members larry50 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think this is a very versatile pedal. You can get just about any tone you want out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sparkfriction Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 the problem is - which kind of drive sound the OP want. To much and different artists as example... Maxon ODs are also pretty good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRBain Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 If I could give you one piece of advice, it is this: In general, use the price or quality of your amp, or the levels at which you play (or your gig) to determine how much you should spend on overdrive pedals. Bedroom hacks with Klons are for TGP. If your amp is a Peavey Classic 30 or a Hotrod Deluxe and/or you only play at home, don't buy anything expensive. It is a waste of your money. I'm not trying to make assumptions or judgments about you, incidentally. Thusly, if the amp is cheap or lower wattage, I'd look into an MI Audio Crunchbox or Tube Zone, or even just a Boss OD-3 or SD-1 (my choice). If it's got a really good clean sound, you might do well to look into the Wampler line. But what is your amp? This would help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sparkfriction Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 get the Okko Diablo - it sounds more like a fender amp and with the right settings on higher gain dumble-like... similar pedals in sound, quality and flexibility are in the same price range.

Members sparkfriction Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 ^ why? where is the funny part in your post?? - i just tried to help the op. To know a bit about ODs and gear is not the "TGP thing"... but to buy just the new unknown hyped pedals (like walrus audiosiron horse ) maybe EDIT: ah i used the the word "Dumble-like"... oh my god i'll burn in hell for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doc7string Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am not much of a pedal guy, but on a whim I tried out a Rock Box Boiling Point and bought it on the spot. Its awesome. Expensive but worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
