Members cc999 Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Can someone reccomend a good distortion pedal for the Peavey Classic 30. I have changed out the tubes but the distortion is still lacking. Please reccomend a good pedal. ThanksCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A-Train Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 FWIW, I'm looking at either an EH English Muff'n or a Tonebone Hot British for my Fender HRD. Maybe take a look at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 what sound do you want to achieve? i have a ts-9 in front, a fuzzface clone and a tonebender clone. tried it with my big muff, but at the time i didn't liked the big muff sound, so i said nay to it. now i'm freaking about fuzzes and might give it a try again. and i have a fuzz factory in the mail. if you want mesa like distortion, i think you will not get it. in the old rehearsal room a metal head used to play with my classic 30, and we used some stuff of them. he had a boss ds-1, but he claimed it sounds like {censored} for metal. but on the other hand he was to stupid to figure out how the foot switch works for almost one years, so i really don't give a sh*t on his opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Buckeyedog Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Try a Digitech Bad Monkey. Mine sounds really good with my Classic 30. Cheap too, so if you don't like it, you aren't out much. Keeley modded pedals are great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrmikers Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 You can't go wrong with a Digitech DF-7.Lots of different sounds in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members killyridols Posted April 22, 2006 Members Share Posted April 22, 2006 I use a Boss DS-1 that I modded myself, plus a dod od 250 to push it further. Sounds pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJLantz444 Posted April 22, 2006 Members Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd stack two nice Overdrives. Ones that don't add too much middyness, seeing as the amp already has plenty. I'm using a Timmy and I plan to get a COT50 to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cc999 Posted April 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2006 Anyone elase experience the Digitech DF-7. Seems to be a type of modeling pedal. Can I get the Green Day crunch with my Peavey Classic 30 with this pedal? What about the Ibamez classic Tube Screamer? I am ready to buy so any help is much appreciated.

It depends on what kind of player you are really. If you like the amps distortion sound and are just looking to drive it harder then a Tubescreamer type pedal would do the trick providing you are playing the amp loud enough to begin with. If you are playing at bedroom volume then you are better off running a distortion pedal into the clean channel.Either way,the DF-7 is a good way to go because it can do both. The DF-7 also gives you complete control over the bass,treble,and midrange frequencies,which is important with an amp like the C30 which has a very prominent midrange.

Members loofery Posted April 22, 2006 Members Share Posted April 22, 2006 Digitech Bad Monkey pedal $40 Digitech Grunge pedal $40 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Guitar/Effects?sku=150834 I don't think an OD pedal will do enough for you. But you will want one someday so you should just get the bad monkey now.The grunge pedal has enough distortion for you, and it's actually a nice, cheap pedal.
