Members skier4467 Posted October 21, 2007 Members Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi I play blues, rock, and funk with a humbucker equipped semi-hollowbody into a Fender Blues Jr tube amp. I have a Bad Monkey which I love for my blues leads. Using my guitar's volume knobs and a volume pedal and the tube amp I can get a lot of sounds. Now I desire a pedal that is heavier (a non-TS9 overdrive or some light distortion pedal) for more of a rock sound. I need this pedal to be set so I can play single notes AND chunky chords that are a whole Rock level higher than my BadMonkey. Note: I don't play metal or punk!! What do you suggest for under $150? I've already tried: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members THeLoveGun Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 I recently purchased a metal muff with boost.The boost strangely enough is my turnoff (harsh freq)but comes with 3 great eq knobs. My gain ranges from 9-1 clockwise.For a metal pedal, it can behave silently. I know you tried the pocket muff, but it has limitations with its eq.

Members fly135 Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nady TD-1. I use it with a Russian Big Muff and Bad Monkey. I recently picked up a DOD FX100, which is like a Bad Monkey but can dial in more crunch and can be as or more clean than the Monkey. Doesn't boost mids like the Monkey so YMMV. The Nady is a nice unit. I could lose the Monkey/DOD but the TD-1 and Muff are keepers. http://www.pedalgeek.com/cgi-bin/new_shop.cgi?config=&uid=&uzc=&command=link--ntd1http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Nady-TD1-Tube-Distortion-Pedal?sku=150100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tubetonez Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'd recommend giving the Digitech Hot Rod a try, it can do sounds from DS1, Ratt & Fuzz and it mates up really well with the Bad Monkey. Found mine for $20 on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Burninator Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 How about Digitech's Screaming Blues?I played it in a store several times. It's different from the bad monkey, and it can get pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 DS1 with Monte Allums Tri Gain mod. I found that to be EXACTLY what I needed in terms of a versatile distortion that can go from being a nice crunchy blues overdrive (with the clipping switch turned off and the gain at 9:00) all the way up to a heavy drive (with the clipping switch on diodes and the gain past noon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kittie Rose Posted October 22, 2007 Members Share Posted October 22, 2007 Which RAT did you try? There are different ones. Try VINTAGE RAT, RAT 2 and TURBO RAT before you're sure that a RAT isn't for you. OR just listen to samples online. RATs are pretty versatile.
