Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 I just saw an English Muff'n on eBay this morning with BIN for $95. I was gonna buy it myself, but I just bought over $200 in pedals in the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marc G Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 I love my Seymour Duncan SFX03..... if I had to give flaws I would say that it sucks that it needs it's own power supply and I wish each channel had an EQ, not that it really needs it but I would like the option....

Members eclipseall Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 mesa boogie v twin is hands down the best. i also own the demonizer by damage control and thats good also. i used to own the readial tone bones hot british and classic but those are too marshall sounding for me. I like more of a recto tone and the v twin and demonizer gives me those sounds. Oh, and they are more than capable of metal tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRPool Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 Check out the Demonizer from Damage Control. I have the Womanizer and love it, very versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members justintee Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 a relatively unheard of pedal is jtpedals ValveBoy.. it's currently manufactured by another company if i'm not mistaken... if you could get your hands on that to try, it may be worth it as i've heard great reviews.. someone who posts here has/had it...

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 Tonebone Classic, amazingly versatile, very reliable, great-sounding. Unless you're looking for brutal scooped metal distortion or fuzz, there's nothing this pedal won't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members byteblock Posted August 7, 2007 Members Share Posted August 7, 2007 the SD twin tube is kinda dead on the low end. palm mutes have no real punch behind them. if you have an EQ driving it in front then it's sound tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vinylphile Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've heard great things about the tonebones but never tried one myself. In fact although I love tube amps I'm a bit skeptical about tube distortion pedals. I'm very happy with my non-tube OCD and Box of Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 you forget the sib varidrive which i coincidentally am selling. Best tube distortion known to man or woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Occam Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've sold all of my tube distortion pedals...v-twin, tone bone classic, guyatone and I'm forgetting one or two but they never work out all that well. The v-twin was probably the worst that I had actually. For unadulterated metal the guyatone was fun for practicing at home but none of them all sounded all that amp like or worked all that well with actual amp distortion.
