Hi
I am looking for recommendations on a quality hi-gain distortion pedal to give me that modern type distortion. I read alot of threads am am still not sure whats what. I am currently playing in a cover band and need a distortion that will give me that modern fat chunky palm muted sound , hi gain but not thin sounding. I guess kinda like the Mesa dual rect sound. I have tried pedals over the years and always worked my way back to my Marshall or Boogie's amp gain.
Lately I have been using my Marshall a lot and want something to tilt it over the edge. The amps sound great doing Zeppelin, Cream and ZZ
Top, but doing the newer stuff I am covering now (Blink 182, SR71,
Avril Lavigne
well..you get the picture.. I know its pop crap, well most of it is, but its whats played out a lot down the shore here in
Jersey. SO..if anyone can recommend a distortion that may work for me, that has an eq to tone shape and doesn't sound like a tin can,
I'd appreciate it. There are a crap load of boutique pedals out there and I tried just one, the Fulltone Distortion pro
and it wasn't what I was looking for. I have a modded Keeley ts9 which is a great overdrive, but I think a distortion is more of what I should be looking for. I play thru a Marshall 800 2204 half stack, Mesa Boogie
DC 5 combo or a Marshall JCM 900 hi gain dual reverb combo. I lean towards the 900 cause its lighter than the others and I know it sounds thin compared to the 800 but its doing the job for the most part and its easier to gig with.
