Distortion / Overdrive Pedal, Looking for my sound |
So I looked it up and realized I need another pedal - to produce the distortion so that it stays clean and beautiful when needed.

Whats your budget?
Dickinson have one they are releasing that looks amazing. Butler also do a cheaper valve one... |

Hmmm maybe something like this : http://www.fulltone.com/stpframe.html
It will definitely give you good tones for bluesy low gain stuff but you can really kick it in for some hi gain leads (boosted too). Check it out in local stores and there are also some mp3 sound demos on the website. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I agree with Mud, I’ve got a Blackstar HT Dual and it’s just super! Sounds very authentic/true also when recording.
For more metal tones there’s the DistX. A used one will fit your budget. -------------------- My bands homepage

It's very hard to find the pedal that will satisfy both crunch and hi-gain tones. I can think of only a tube preamp/tube stompbox, and they are not cheap. Try to find a pedal with at least one preamp tube inside, they should sound a bit better. H&K Tubeman, or Blackstar ones are good. However.. I do think tube preamp would be best solution in your case.

Not cheap, but gives you great control over two levels of crunch, tube driven as well with really nice tone shaping options. |

Given the range of tones you are looking for, it may be beyond the ability of a single stomp box. You might start looking at a nice rack mount pre amp. Rocktron makes one called the Voodu Valve that sounds like what you may be after but the price is a bit steep. $750 List and about $400 used. Just in case, here is a link. http://www.rocktron.com/products/preamps/vooduvalve/  Being able to nail tones from subtle and bluesy to brutal high gain is a lot to ask from one pedal for $150. But keep looking and above all try every pedal you can get your hands on. You'll eventually find the "perfect" one for you. Todd |

no more than this:
Ibanez Ts 909  for metal: 6-6-6!!! Overdrive: 6 Tone: 6 Level: 6 and it's very versatile for many styles. |
