Members companyman Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I went to get a new dirt pedal today, thinking I was gonna get a Catalinbread Hyper-Pak or a Polysaturator or a Lovepedal or something boutique-ish. I spent the afternoon comparing all of those mentioned and whatever else was on hand at my local guitar shop....and for purely tonal reasons I came home with a Ibanez TS-9DX of all things! It just sounded so much better into my Orange Rocker-30 than any of the other more expensive trendy pedals. Just goes to show you, we should be listening more and reading less when it comes to effects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would have told you for an Orange you'd be better off with something other than a Hyper Pak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Bad Monkey with my Rockerverb 50, after trying a BB Plus, Fulldrive 2, and a few other expensive ones to try to replace it. I actually don't own a single boutique pedal to be honest with you (excluding my recent purchase of a Teese wah). Congrats on the NPD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kidgloves Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Shh. Stop talking about the Hyperpak. This pedal needs to remain a secret. But yeah, if you're buying an orange, any dirt other than a "transparent" overdrive and/or boost pedal is really quite pointless. They'll inevitably lean towards frequencies which sit atop your sound rather than blend into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the Hyper-Pak is a very cool pedal indeed, wish I had the proper amp to rock with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NetStar Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 It was a stupid generalisation to make though. I mean, imagine us here mocking Lovepedal and Klon for being boring old fart pedals? No, neither can I.... Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rocker30 did not get along very well with the Polysaturator, I wanted to like it, same with the Hyper-Pak, If I had a nice Fender, both of these would RAWK!
