Members jimwratt Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 What's a good OD for country to augment a spanky tele sort of sound? I don't know much about country guitar and I'm trying to get into it, but this is puzzling me. I don't really know who the people with the best tones are so I've never read interviews with them and have no real knowledge about the country possibilities of certain pieces of gear.

Members Man and Mer Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Visual Sound Route 66. Overdrive and compressor. Pretty much a one-two punch for a dirty country guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tenoken Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Visual Sound Route 66. Overdrive and compressor. Pretty much a one-two punch for a dirty country guitar. Never tried that pedal, but it sounds pretty accurate. I was going to say compressor for sure. One with a good amount of boost to it ought to get you there. I can get my DynaComp to almost give me a slightly overdriven sound. How much drive do you want? Maybe a compressor and a LPB-1 will set you free.

Members KjStrat62 Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have had maybe 6 of those Visual RT 66 pedals in the past. The compression is quite good. Can achieve overkill though. The OD is not heavy but spanks good with a TELE!!! Now I have gas for one!!!!! again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike.sartori Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 A lot of those guys do use a TS-9 or TS-808, perhaps a analogman silver mod would be the version of that. My friend has been working on a red llama pedal that is supposed to sound like a tweed amp; seems to me that could be a good country sound. Also, a lot of country players use vox amps, and I know there are a few pedals which emulate that sound, you may want to get one of those (not sure of the names; I hear vox actually makes some good OD's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jonny guitar Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Keeley Katana plus Keeley Comp into a just overdriven tube amp is the best I have found...much purer sounding than ts9 type of pedal imo (though I love that in the mix too sometimes).

Members Mel Cooley Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I was not knocked out by the Rt. 66. The OD side was a little too bright. Compressors vary a lot, but that one wasn't to my liking (I'm not a big fan of 'em anyway). A good TS-808 clone is a good start. A Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive is a VERY good choice. You can bring the clean signal back in with the dirt signal to find the perfect balance of twang and grit. The foot switch will likely need replacing though.

Members hurleysurf Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I would say either a BD-2 and Compressor. I've read that recently Brad Paisley has been using a Zen Drive for what its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mark7171 Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 the BBE green screamer has a mellow tube driving effect. its just enough to warm the tubes , but absolutely clear. are you compressed already? if not, learn to use it. makes a big difference, in the little things.....the little things you can't nessecarily do with your fingers .

Members gillibi Posted November 1, 2007 Members Share Posted November 1, 2007 Blues Driver's are kore than likely Keeley modded. Paisley uses one Mason's Blues Driver was modded by Brian Wampler of Indyguitarist. Check out his stuff, it's great. I'm using his Plexidrive and also have a modded Rocktron Austin Gold that's great. Paisley's BD2 might have the Keeley mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
