All-around distortion box?

Is there a pedal that can do Heavy Rock (Incubus, Silverchair, Petruccie) to Bluesy Overdriven Warm sound (TS808, Stevie Ray)? I'm also looking for maybe like a "Big" Muff sound that's nice to couple with a delay...

 

Does this kind of pedal exist? Maybe a $100 non boutique pedal will do.

Look at this http://www.vhrelief.com/en/index.html
It's a new company from Europe and references are looking very good....

You get a TubeScreamer for nice overdrives and then a Big Muff Pi for the fuzzes. (With true by pass of course!)

 

 

+1. Just buy the seperate boxes. Get a Bad Monkey and a Little Big Muff to start things off.

This is what EVERYONE does... why?

 

Did you ever wonder why almost every guitarist has a noisy rig, especially when Fuzz and Overdrive are both on...

 

The reason is because when you have two gain pedals in a line, the noise from one is amplified by the other. Wiring Fuzz and Overdrive in parallel is the only way to get maximum gain without noise.

 

Having both circuits in one pedal doesn't necessarily mean it will be quiet either. They have to be in parallel.

 

Hey most people just want what everyone else has. Go for it dude, but for me, music is about innovation and taking the tone a step further.

1. Diversity of sound. Different sounds for specific times

 

2. Cascading overdrives/distortions/fuzz sounds bad ass, even if it does add some more noise, that can be used to your advantage. Especially when it comes to super-saturated feedback drenched sounds.

 

I have a TS9 cascaded into a Danelectro Daddy-O.. best feedback ever.

"Our technology is placed in very robust chasis which is resistant to all rockers play...;)"
"In our overdrive are for example used high quality mica capacitors to take sound without unpleasant sharpness, but presentive."

-from http://www.vhrelief.com/en/index.html

pedals look interesting, but they really should have a better translator on-board to explain such pricey pedals...i mean "presentive"? id be worried about ordering from a company that made up a new word in english to describe their pedal;)
