Members TigerInATrance Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 I use a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 for most of my drive sounds and then spice it up with an ever rotating fuzz pedal for higher levels of dirt. So far I've liked the Fulltone Soulbender and the Russian Big Muff the most... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agentcooper2001 Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 I had a '68 Twin Reverb with JBL D-120f's for a long time and it was a long search to find a great distortion pedal with it, because that is the cleanest amp ever! After trying a ton of them, I found the FoxRox ZIM with the two original H9's and that sounded best to me with the Twin. I ended up selling it after using it for a few years and going with a Bad Cat Black Cat 30r. The Twin was just too clean for me. I probably could've changed the speakers and tubes to make it break up earlier, but I didn't know anything about amps then. Try the FoxRox if you get a chance. Also, the Jersey Girl Plusdriver and Menatone King of the Britains sound pretty good with that amp too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Onswah Posted October 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 See the problem I'm facing is I love the clean tone, But I like to use distortion as well, call me crazy. The clean it has in spades, the dirty is a little challenging. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Knowdice Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 Check out the Tonebone Classic if you can. Didn't care for it too much with my EL34 amp, but it sounded huge through my friends SF twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Barnabyhuggins Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 I feel as if I am able to acheive both incredible fuzz tones and incredible clean tones with my '68 twin. Dirt Boxes that sound REALLY good with my twin:- Bee Baa (duh)- Keeley BD-2- J Everman Fuzz Drive 2- Handmade Jacques Mercer Box- Zvex Machine- Zvex SHO Dirts that sound okay with my Twin...but better with my Sovtek Mig 50:- Frantone Cream Puff- Roland Double Beat- Keeley DS-1- Fuzz Probe- Baja Tech Das Fuzz Ge- Bee Baa (thinking about it, the Bee Baa sounds amazing through both amps!) Overall, I would say my best tones through the Twin are from the SHO cranked and creating that wonderful Twin breakup and the J Everman Fuzz Drive. In fact, for most Twin owners, if you want to get the best distortion for a Twin - the one that sounds like it is coming from the amp - I would definitely vote for the Everman Fuzz Drive...which is a simply AMAZING pedal. Just some of my observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
