Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 What's a good overdrive pedal to use with a Fender Super Twin reverb?? The tone I 'm looking for is that Hot Rodded Marshall tone. I already have a few in mind that I will try but I'd like to hear from Twin users about their experiences with O/D pedals... I just bough this 180w Super Twin today and I am loving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Agreed Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'd recommend the MI Audio Crunch Box. Definitely the most authentically Marshall-sounding pedal I've heard so far. The Guv'Nor+ is great for lower gain Marshall tones, but the Crunch Box really takes it to the edge (trivia, it's in fact a hot-rodded Guv'nor circuit, too).

Members Astatine Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think you need something quite high-gain as a 180W amp will not give any natural overdrive - all the distortion must come from the pedal. This would lead me to recommend the crunch box instead of the BOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 wow I'm watching a demo of the crunch box now and it sounds great.. I never heard of it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Also check out the Emma ReezaFratzitz. I've owned the Crunchbox too, and prefer the Reesa. Does Marshall well, but more versatile overall, and responds very well to your picking dynamics. But the Crunchbox is pretty good too, especially for the money.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 thanks I look into the Emma ReezaFratzitz too... My goal is to get something so good that I can completely retire my half-stacks so money is not object if it really delivers. But so far the crunch box has impressed the heck out of me (based on the video) and the price is right too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 well I just ordered the MI Audio Crunch Box... I can't wait til it gets here, this is going to be a long week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schandmann Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 And if you still got money left, try the Zoom HL-01 Hyper Lead. Sounds quite Marshall-esque, even plugged into a Music Man RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
