Members LBOIV001 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 What would be (and I am asking only for opinions......what I mean by "THE BEST" is your own personal favorite and entirely subjective) dual overdrive pedal under $300? I play a Godin LGXT, Laguna strat and beginners tele through a mesa boogie Electra Dyne. I want to be able to go from a slight crunch for chicken picking all the way to metal (using the second channel as a sustained and/or slightly compressed lead boost), in one pedal. Built-in compression would be a plus. I really like the Visual Sound Route 66 with compression, but I don't feel the gain is high enough for me. The Keeley site says it does not mod these pedals, so what other options would there be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mis5dis6gis7 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 I think a DLS might get you close but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 Does it have to be a 2 in 1 pedal? Because that limits things unnecessarily so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thezeng Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 G2D make great dual overdrives in a ehx xo sized enclosure. Cream Tone is definitely one to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OD / Distortion sides od>dist dist>od cascade the two presets its worth taking a look at for sure. I've considered taking a look at that one. Just wish you had the option to run them with a 9v battery instead of having to use the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 +1 for the ZIM. VERY versatile, sounds awesome. Will get you some ace low gain semi-cleans, through mid-gains right up to 80s hard rock/metal tones with both channels on, but won't stretch to full on br00tz. Voice control gives you a massive range of tones, and the cardswap option expands that even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HazeFX Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 I've considered taking a look at that one. Just wish you had the option to run them with a 9v battery instead of having to use the adapter. I have a feeling it would eat batteries at a decent rate. While it is an analog drive the pedal itself is digitally controlled. Besides, batteries are bad for the environment:cop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members schandmann Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 Proco R2DU? It's a rack unit, but basically just two Rats in one 19" 1HE enclosure, footswitchable. I wanted one since the beginning of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dkerwood Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you like the Route 66, you'll love the Jekyll & Hyde. Jekyll side is the 808 clone just like the Route 66, and the Hyde side is a heavier distortion. It can handle metal if you want, too- I just don't like scooping mids in general.I've been rocking one for the better part of ten years. I've got the original series grey pedal.Alternately, the Double Trouble is essentially two of the Route 66 drive channels in the same box- cascadable.

Members grayeyes777 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 Duecetone rat does it well. Takes some tweaking but it definitely gets there. I have an american model for sale if anyone is interested. It takes up too much real estate for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
