Members kurt1981 Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey all, wondering if there's a pedal out there that'll give me that fat lead sound, Ala Larry Carlton and Robben Ford, that cranked mesa mark I tone of the late 70's. I've got the boogie, but can't use it both clean and overdriven, so I'd rather run it clean, and have a stomp-box for the lead sound. Any ideas? Thanks,Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Have you tried something as common as a TS808/TS9 ? The lead tone on esp Mr. 335 Live in Japan, but also "Larry Carlton" reminds me of a Twin with tubescreamer kind of sound. It's not as smooth as his later Dumble tones imo.

Members dan-o-guitar Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey Kurt, it is a bit on the pricey side, the Zendrive is the overdrive pedal to beat for the Ford/Carlton tones. If I remember correctly, Robben Ford actually uses this pedal. http://www.hermidaaudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
