Members ESchmidt Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Bad Monkey if you use it as a boost. Not so good as an OD pedal by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mister Zero Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have 3 pedals on my board that all can achieve this: Boss Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb (which is more of an amp sim, but can get mean n' growly), Bad Monkey, and Radial Tonebone Classic (which can get into high gain territory).

Frets99 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I use 2 pedals mostly. Blues and rock. Dano Fab Overdrive and Dano Fab Distortion!! $15 apiece and damn nice!Very Tube sounding. Edit: I also have the Boss FDR-1 pedal which indeed gets great bluesy rock growl!! Currently, I use the Boss FDR clean to fatten the tone and the Dano Distortion or OD to go Blues Rock.

Members bloolight Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 I would think just about any tube-screamer clone pedal would do the trick. My Jeckyll 'n' Hyde by Visual Sounds is a great piece of work. I use the tube-screamer side for blues all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 23miles Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have a Duncan Twin Tube Classic which can produce great tube driven sounds. Sweet overfrive on the clean channel and at low gain. Another pedal that I have and use is a C-Tech Sonny Boy. The Sonny Boy is a cross between an analog modeler and a stomp box. It has ten different overdrive/distortion presets modeled after classic blues amps. It also has a built in booster. Sounds great through my solid state amps and my Fender DRRI.

Members Mo' Cowbell Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Boss BD-2 Blues Driver. I did a bake off and I liked it better than a Tube Screamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RUExp? Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 AMT Fatal Tube is a great pedal too. http://www.pedalgeek.com/cgi-bin/new_shop.cgi?config=&uid=R94JcgAA1178074082&uzc=97302&command=link--amtft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ged LST Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Whatever OD you can find in a bargain bin at stores, if it doesn't do it for you buy another bargain bin one and run them both into each other - Ged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 The Barber Direct Drive really does the trick for me. I think of it as a TubeScreamer and then some. It has a more gain on tap so it can be better used as a standalone drive into a clean amp IMO (it won't do metal, but it will do a British amp hard rock sound). But you can still back off the gain and get great lower gain sounds like a TS. True bypass, internal trim pots for bass and treble, fat switch - all very useful. It wil do SRV, it will do Zep, it will do Jimi, and it's smooth enough to get an Eric Johnson lead sound with some delay. I can't say enough about this pedal. It's not cheap like a BadMonkey at $115, but it's cheaper than many overdrives and I actually feel like the extra cost is entirely worth it over the "standard fare" pedals.

Members Son Wolf Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 dude you've got a little Pro Jr... all you need to do is turn it up for blues, up some more for classic rock and down for rockabilly if you cant do that then an 808, TS or OD, is ideal for that amp, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tenoken Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Get an Ibanez ts9 and get analogman.com to do the 808 mod. OR, get the ts9 and do the 808 mod yourself. It's actually pretty easy if youre a DIY kind of chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcinku Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 TS-9 is my choice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackmonday Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Pod XT Live all the way. Use the 2 tone amp model with a little slap back delay, you're in heaven for the rockabilly sound. And it has models of the tube screamer, rat, etc. I ended up buying an MI Audio Crunchbox because I don't change tones during the set. If I needed different tones I would definitely lug the XT live around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
