Members chrisjnyc Posted May 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yes, I know the shredmaster comes with the radiohead hoopla... and OK, the DLS looks cool, but can we stick to the shredmaster vs box of rock for a moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kaz2550 Posted May 27, 2009 Members Share Posted May 27, 2009 Easy to make shredmaster sound like a cranked Marshall, but then you realise it sounds kinda lo-fi in a way and you lose a great deal of clarity and dynamics. Harmonics were weak and the pedal as a whole sounded one dimensional. This was my experience using it with Fender HRD for about a year. Decent enough pedal, but not worth the price they go for. Haven't tried BOR so can't comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, unless you really really want that added boost after the overdrive, I don't see why you'd pay more for a BoR. And the Distortron is the BoR overdrive but with more options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 shredmaster, because zvex is a douche I think this is a good example of a "personal attack", and as such, it breaks the site rules. Please refrain from personal attacks. Next time - temp ban. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
