Your dirt pedals

[Soloist88]

I use my Boss DS-1 for a classic rock distortion.
Boss MT-2 for 80's hard rock.
Boss ML-2 for hardcore metal.
I will throw in an Ibanez TS-9 for a lead boost.

SD-1 - A must with any Marshall.
Route 66 - My Fender, Silvertones and Tweaker all love this TS Clone pedal.
BD-2 - Bought used, was modified by the PO. I have a Monte Allums H2O kit waiting to go into this.
Blackout Effectors Musket - Outstanding Swiss Army fuzz
MT2 - Modified with Monte Allums tri-drive kit and then tweaked a little further with LEDs, different diodes and a stacked JRC4558 opamp.
The nasty nasal tone is gone and it's more a OD/Distortion now with really good tone controls.

Last but not least this DIY tube boost creation which is fukn awesome. It has something in the neighborhood of 40db of clean boost which kicks the front end of any tube amp into high gear. It's designed for 12AU7 tubes, 12BH7's are fantastic too. It will run off a 9V power supply. I'm running mine off of regulated 12VDC power supply I had kicking around. I find it likes that even better and it's nice and quiet. I've been totally digging this lately: Ash FSR Tele > RTE 66 > Tube Boost > Tweaker 15. I like to set it for a nice hot lead tone then ride the guitar's volume control for all levels of grind.

I have three,
A russian Big muff = dust collector
My xotics AC Boost: currently on the pedal board.
AND my 1987 Proco rat I bought in HS is about to come out of retirement.

My latest dirt addition: TC Electronics Nova Drive - 2 digitally controlled analog effects (OD & Distortion) in a single housing with 18 recall slots.



Let's strip things down and keep it simple with a few time based pedals in the loop and just run this single pedal out front while maintaining loads of dirt options a step away.

I use a dimed Fulltone OCD.

The shoe is vital to good boost. It really kicks it in.

sd1 and ts9 with my dsl I can get anywhere I need to go, with these two in my signal path. I really like setting ts9 for clean boost and sd1 for a clean boost/with a touch more gain. sd1 into ts9 into dsl, this is great with any of the 4 channels on my dsl and its like having 4 channels on each of the 4 channels. dsl, dsl/ts9, dsl/sd1, and my favorite dsl/ts9/sd1 they sound so good together imo.

Ha Ha. Ive been looking for that shoe for a almost two weeks now and found it thanks to this thread. This ridiculous creature stole it and hid it in the closet next to where most of my pedals land when I throw them in.

I see all your backup? pedals , didnt you have a backup shoe lol

 

[Rahlstin]

I use a Bad Monkey on the clean side of my DSL100. I use FullTone OCD for my Fender Deluxe Reverb. Both are great pedals with the OCD being incredible.

 

[alhayesmusic]

I use my amp's distortion 99% of the time. I have a few dirt pedals, but use them more as treble boosts, or added gain when I am using a house rig at a jam. Here are my current stock.

MXR Classic Overdrive
Fulltone Catalyst
Ibanez Tubescreamer TS9
Visa Distortion

My EHX LPB-1 booster works wonders on SOME amps.

Yeah but I only keep back up lefties so Ive been walking in large circles with worry since the initial abduction.

 

[50WPLEXI]

Hard to believe mine has changed since posting earlier. So here's what I have now.

1. Still have the Bogner Blue.
2. Now have a Suhr Riot instead of the Plimsoul. Great choice I might add.
3. Marshall Bluesbreaker Clone - this from the original schematic. F**cking pedal is outstanding for lower gain stuff. Sounds pretty close to the amp of name sake.

And two more in the closet looking to sell...

 

[chuckelator]

I have two.. Russian Big Muff, and Earthquaker Devices Talons, both of which are on my pedal board, and I use both regularly.

 

[dreyn77]

I'm almost embarrest to say I have them now!
I've had a pickup for 10 years and I didn't know how to use it!

anywhay, I have the fuzz, dist+, jetdrive, tubescream, sexdrive, evenharmonic DOD. Sold the SD-1 and metalzone.

I think I've successfully eliminated them all. Hurray! I'm a happy man!
They sit there for tradition and nostalgia.

I think it's time I 'get with the program', and use what the 'guys who live it', do and know.

The 'skill' is, in knowing which guys to follow!

 

[mott555]

Strange, this is my thread and I'm not subscribed to it! Guess this post will solve that.

I'm down to just a TS9 now. I still have a pair of SD-1's but I don't think I've even turned one on after getting the tubescreamer. I'd like to get one OFA-modded sometime to check out his work, but I've got a lot of projects going on right now and music is starting to take a back seat.

Vot iss dis "Dirt Pedals" yew spek ovf? I du not undertake vot yew mean so vell.

I have a JMD1. Pretty much ZERO need for pedals. (Or multiple amps for that matter)
