Members music321 Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm talking a higher-end pedal. Not a boss, digitech, etc. I so wanted the wampler ecstacy to be it, but it just isn't. I like that it has a "musical" tone, but it just isn't the musical tone i'm looking for. ideas? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GREC Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 EHX English Muff'n has 2 lower gain 12AY7 tube in it. Very touch sensitive. Strum lightly & you have a very present transparent overdrive without crackle, strum hard & it's 60s-70s Marshall-esque. Beware! I got one with a bad tube.Best overdrive pedal I've ever used.

Members LSDis4me Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 What's a musical tone? Somebody should tell Boss and Digitech that they should make a musical tone pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members delay dude Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 hmmm try a KoT then maybe. I wouldn't rule out the cheap stuff though... +1 for a KoT. It is very musical. Or the mad professor SHOD. I own the SHOD for a week now and like it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hazelwould Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'd suggest a Zendrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boytbpc Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I haven't been using any overdrives recently, but last night I pulled out my collection. The 3 that stood out were the Fairfield Electronics Barbershop, Paul C Tim, and the King of Tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I've got an NOC3 Pure Drive and love it. It's been on every iteration of my board for years and I have no plans of replacing it. There are internal trimmers to center where the bass and treble knobs sweep, the IC is socketed so you can experiment, and yeah, I love it. I've had no trouble matching it to any guitar/amp setup. It also sounds great in front of an already dirty amp/distortion pedal as a booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members natepink Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 What's a musical tone? Somebody should tell Boss and Digitech that they should make a musical tone pedal. Genuinely, can someone explain 'musical' in regards to a pedal? Is this just the go to word people use when they like something? I thought most things would be musical once you plug in a musical instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orourke Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think maybe the OP is talking about an overdrive that's not too gritty in the plexi sense, probably something that's smoother that's in the screamer realm. (though I'm not positive). If that's the case most screamer type overdrives should do, M.I. Audio Blues Boy comes to mind. If you want something more transparent the Barber LTD might do the trick. If you need to spend lots of money, there always the Klon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimtalkbox Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Wampler Euphoria (once called the Ecstasy) is what you seek. It has a versatile tone stack and can go from completely clean to raunchy overdrive. It also has a 3 way toggle for different styles of OD.
