Members krish Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 It depends on what style youll be playing most. All OD/Dist pedals sound better at certain styles than others....but I'd recommend the MI Audio Tube Zone. I have one and it can pretty much cover most bases from Overdrive to Distortion and does it quite well. From my limited experience of Tonebone pedals...Id say they were anything but versatile, but I havent really toyed with them enough. Hope you find what youre looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cloudsnstuff00 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hot Rod deville 2x12. A little too loud for me. Ive been thinking of getting a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was an older, pre Radial model. The HBE Big D is also very versatile. The Damage Control Demonizer also has some interesting features.

Members bluehuricane Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 do you use an eq pedal? i found that you can get most styles just from messing with a 7 band eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratStevo Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Two of my favorites are the Crunch Box and the SCOD and you could throw the Small Fry Burn Unit in for an uneven number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
