Will do. I have a Fender Stage 185 that has great cleans, but crappy SS distortion. Hope this is a good remedy for some moderate overdrive....

Members cap'n'crunch Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 I have an Arion Metalplus that someone left in my rehearsal room. I was bored one day so I plug into it and HOLY CRAP! It is the most realistic tubelike sounding pedal that I've come across yet. The name is misleading because its not much more gain than AC/DC. It does not have that typical Boss-like fizz and mushy low-mids and even with the gain maxxed the notes in chords ring out with clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this is a good remedy for some moderate overdrive.... Ironically, my first band rig was a Penco LP, crybaby, Arion Tube Mania (Tubulator), and a Fender Pro 185.I used the Arion as a lead boost. Didn't sound too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wednesdaysworse Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yes, a decent cheap, gritty TS - bargain for $13. Watch plastic input/output jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
