Members JDE Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 RPG Blue Flame. I know it's an OD, but i reckon it counts. Top notch pedal. I have GAS for a Zoom Ultra Fuzz and a Crowther Bluesberry at the minute. No cash, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marcy Lord Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 I guess I gotta say the Tim. I like the first stage as an high EQ as it articulates the treble just wonderfully, and you can make a really nice OD with it, or use it as a striaght up clean boost with a very fine kachang capability. Now, when you cascade the second stage, the pedal really shines and it has an openness that is exciting, yet it has serious ballz if you want it. Plus, you can tweak the diodes from 2 to 4 on the second stage, and that adds another element. It also has a seperate EQ for the second stage. It doesn't compress the sound and it is articulate, cutting but never harsh or buzzy. Second would be the keeley fuzz head. Ii like the silicon setting as it has a REALLY nice compressed sound which makes the bass aspect sound very cool. It's not trashy bright like a typical silicon pedal can be. Moreoever, it is an extremely powerful tho versatile pedal going from mere OD to searing lead distortion. The germanium setting is a more open, slightly darker OD to distortion pedal. It really isn't a 'fuzz' in the fuzz face notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman_nebr Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Fulltone Distortion Pro.....it gets a lot of bad reviews because it is a hard pedal to learn. it has a learning curve to control it and make it do what you want to, but when you do....OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sense_of_henry Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Bixonic Expandora It is very versatile, I can change through 4 different dip switch configurations. I typically keep mine in the overdrive setting and use it with my JCM 900 or Peacemaker gains to make things nice. I have played many distortions/overdrives but really like this pedal. It is great for everything I play - from Hank to Hendrix. I wouldn't mind having a couple of them so that I can run different configurations simultaneously.

Members Craigfnh Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 I dont have any "distortion pedals", right now I have 3 differant fuzz's. I would say Big Muff but I consider that a fuzz. For straight up distortion I use my amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbhtrip Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Bixonic Expandora (original version). Works equally well as a distortion or an OD. Even pretty cool as a fuzzzzzz. Very versatile, great sounding pedal. p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orourke Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 MJM Foxey Fuzz - I've got to stop my self from hitting that one everytime I do a lead. It always cuts through the mix with endless sustain. Keeley/Ibanez TS-9 - this is another box I can't get enough of, warm creamy chords, and it cascades into the Foxey Fuzz beautifully. I also have a Keeley/Ibanez TS9DX, that I use for bluesier leads, like I said I can't get enough of this box. Keeley/Boss DS-1 - it fills a certain place in the distortion spectrum that I can't find in any other box, and I've bought a bunch of boutique distortion boxes, but this one alway's seems to creep back on to my pedalboard.

Members ScreamCage Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Marshall Guv'nor (I'm such a spammer for that pedal), followed closely by the Big Muff. I'd probably say that the Muff sound is my favorite, but the Guv'nor is versatile and it just gets the job done with ease, so that's why it's my top. It's a workhorse type of pedal.

Members camerashake Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Zoom trimetal, set with the volume up and the gain around 9oclock. Dynamic when I dig in, and HEAVY without masking the true sound of the guitar. My other fav, which I don't have anymore, is BD-2. Stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Craise Posted March 19, 2006 Members Share Posted March 19, 2006 Just like mindglow....I could live with either the Bjfe Dyna Red or Bjfe EGDM. Why? They turn my Vintage Blackface Fender Princeton into a Marshall or Vox. If I had to pick one it would be the EGDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd like to now the details of how you got yours to sound great. What kind of guitar, amp, music, what settings....anything that you can tell me, I'd be interested to know.
