Members shredrick Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ok I'm playing through a triple x head and a B-52 at series bottom. We do alot of covers from the 70's 80's and 90's but am missing that half crackle sound of a plexi or just that overdriven beginning to break up sound. I have a behringer VT-999 and a DOD yjm malmsteen pedal sitting around not doing anything because they both sound like metallic ass through this amp and another one I have. So is there any modification that I can do to either one of these pedals to get that tone of just breakup sound for songs like the rover, fly by night, ect... Oh and can I buy what I need at radio shack down the street? Thanks appreciate any help here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Get a marshal guvnor and your problems should be solved. They pretty much nail that sound you're looking for. http://www.marshallamps.com/product.asp?productCode=Guvnor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shredrick Posted December 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ok the Guv 2 I saw a demo on youtube and think that the vox brit boost does a better job than the guv but did like the guv. Anyway I was really fishing to see if anyone would share some knowledge on modifying the pedals I have now and if I can get the parts at radio shack or online.

Members nbabmf Posted December 4, 2009 Members Share Posted December 4, 2009 The DOD Malmsteen is just a modded DOD 250 overdrive. It's really not meant to be run on it's own. They sound much better combined with a good tube amp. You could probably get a more natural, amp-like sound if you added another 1N4148 diode in series with one of the two in the parallel... ie. two up, one down. That's what I like to do to my Tube Screamers. http://www.diystompboxes.com/pedals/schems/yjm308.GIF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
