Members Rockulus Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have a 1987x reissue Marshall and it sounds great without pedals. But I like the idea of having one in the loop anyway. My keeley tubescreamer, which sounds great on other amps, is a tone sucking machine with this Marshall. What do you suggest would work with this setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoredGuitarist7 Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde! Literally is two pedals in one enclosure. Comes with overdrive + distortion, and complete control over both. I have one, and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members royal crxsh johnson Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 there's this really sick one called an attentuator. you should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jay3265E Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 There's no such thing as a pedal that truely captures the plexi sound but the ZVex Box of Rock gets in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rockulus Posted December 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for your suggestions, (other than the attenuator). I'm definitely going to look into those pedals and pick one of them up. As money is not a factor in my ultimate marshall pedal search, I don't care if it's a ritzy handmade boutique or a made in a sweat shop Chinese.

Members sethlover Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Baja Tech Custom Da Moaf. Big ass tone through a Marshall. I've never liked tube screamers through Marshall's they're for Fender's trying to get Marshall tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rockulus Posted December 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Don't put OD's distortion's or fuzz's in the loop:facepalm: i don't put them in the fx loop, since it sucks, but I do have a bypass looper that I put them in.

Members sethlover Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 HAHAHAHAHA. sorry. i just think that non mv marshalls have the best od around. +1 You don't need an od already built in, you need a big ass fuzz to blow the doors off.

Then an attenuator would work? Gets you that nice tubey sound, but at a fraction of the volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Neon Soul Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Do you still have the bright cap in it? I found the bright channel sounded too fizzy up till about 6 on the volume which is already too loud for a club if it's miced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 try a MIJ Boss DS-1,it's way more transparent than a tubescreamer,no un needed mid hump,no bass cut,dial the distortion knob down and keep the tone knob down as well,you'll get anything from low gain boost to full rythym crunch. just a suggestion.

Members tronus Posted December 18, 2008 Members Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ok I don't know much about your amp model, but I've researched Scott Henderson's rig some. He likes Plexi's, not sure which model, but I know he's used them in the past. I believe his current custom amp has some Plexi in their somewhere. He hits the front of his amp with either the Xotic RC boost with gain and volume all the way up, a Maxon SD-9 gain and volume all the way up with tone down (when using humbuckers), and for single coils he uses a Maxon VOP-9. He uses single coils currently so he's using the Xotic RC and Maxon VOP-9. Check out his youtube vids. His gain sounds are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
