Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
Oh yeah. That's the boyz there. And all of them were so good. Bills drumm'n, Geezer's bass'n, Tony's moaning licks/riffage with those crippled fingers and then the Ozzman with his haunting voice. They all just had a signature sound that culminated into that music I loved as soon as I heard it. I really dig the early stuff. I didn't get to see them till the early 80's. Tony is why I love the SG and have had a couple. Angus is another hehe.
![]() Well we better get back on topic with the pedals here before I get "Chastised" by my bruthers from wandering so far off the beat'n path hehe. ![]() I'll drop ya a note on your home page there and shoot the shit with you on it.

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
A couple of pedals I been looking at..
I have a couple of Boss Delays.. RV-3 & DD-5. They been pretty faithfull.. Been wondering about the Boss Giga Delay DD-20 ??? BOSS U.S. - DD-20: Giga Delay And when checking out that one,, I did come across this... ![]() BOSS U.S. - OD-20: Drive Zone Often a reason I stay away from Digital Effects, is because of the Munchkin Effect.. Therefore,, most my pedals and stuff today is analog... But it never hurts to play around.. ![]() Enjoy... |

I'm real picky about my OD's and Boss's haven't turned me on yet in this category. I'm always game to hear the offerings though... hence the thread. ![]() Are you using any OD or boost at all or just time effect pedals? How about wah?

I only have a BD-2 , FDR-1 , MT-2 , OD-3 for Boss pedals.. Mesa V-Twin Preamp and Drive.. 70's Fuzzy Face. 70's Electro Harminox Big Muff. The Problem I run into with Most distortion pedals in my DSL is that they tend to color the origional sound of the amp, more than I really care for. I am mostly into Classic to Blues Rock tones, even into strait up Blues. The odd thing,, and not to distract from this thread, when running strait into the two Fenders I run, (Blues Jr-Blues DeVille) the Boss pedals do add a color that is nice.. Or does compliment there sounds.. For Wha.. And old Cry Baby, I have one from the early 70's, but the rack and pinion is worn out.. ![]() One from the 90's, that I do use when just running a stand alone CS-3 to whatever distortion overdrive I choose. On my pedalboard, I tend to use a Morely Volume Distortion Wha. It gives me some nice options as to my sound and textures.. ![]() Over the years, I have reverted to the KISS Logic, as to my effects. Where less is better.. ![]() But I am allways open to options.. ![]() When watching the Video on the DD-20 page,, they dont show or explain the amp they are playing threw... I had to ask myself, if it made a little combo sound like a Marshall Stack, Could it make my Marshall Halfstack, sound like a Little Combo?

I almost got a Keeley modded SD-1 long time ago but got the DS-1 instead. Had it for awhile then traded it for an H20 to a guy who went to school with Robert. After awhile I hated the DS-1. So it was easy to pass it on. Now after a few years I know more what I want from a pedal and amp mix. My over gained days are behind me...mostly!

I'm playing the same stuff and find there are some good OD's that work well mixed with the amp. Distortion pedals I don't even use anymore. Over Drive pedals or clean boosts are quite enough with the DSL. I'm actually going to be getting another delay pedal soon so keep me posted on any good ones you find... I've run out of time again and have to get to work. Talk to you guys tomorrow then!

dsl , the choice for me would have been the SD-1 , the DS-1 even modded does not work so well infront of that amp . the DS-1 works much better run into a clean channel of a good tube amp IMO !

![]() I bet one of these days I'll be trying an SD-1. I just have it on the back burner is all hehe. I should have gotten a Barber DD instead of the OCD like I was going to do. Oh well I have found a couple usable tones out of the OCD. Just doesn't excite me like my Dano CTO-1.

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
I have tried tons of different boosts, but the one I keep going back to is the Pedalworx Tejas which is a TS808 clone. I haven't found anything yet that beats it. The thing I like most is that it's very clear and it even has a special "spice" knob for dialing in more clarity.
You never see them used so it's something you may have to throw down the cash for, but I definitely think it's worth it. And on top of that, the customer service is outrageously over the top awesome. Pedalworx |

I am using it/have used it with a variety of Marshall or Marshall clone amps. I play mostly hard rock 80's stuff, Van Halen, etc. I set my amp for a nice breakup and then take it over the top with the Tejas. It does have a mid hump...like most vintage TS808s, but I like that. Some don't. Works very well when you roll the volume back, but may not be as dynamic as say an OCD. Hope that answers your questions Have you tried an OCD? That seems like the ticket for you after reading what you like/dislike. |

I don't mind a midhump if overall the pedal mixes well.

did a mini pedal shoot out with a few of the commmon boutique units , and i have to say it was alright but not incredible , like some would rave . IMO ......its a little overrated . the DANO on the other hand gets great reveiws from everyone strait across the board . for the money its hard to beat !

I just really like to hit the crunch channel with these kinds of pedals on the DSL. That channel really has a nice foundation tone for running them. I knew I would get lowdowns here on pedals I've never heard of. Much thanks for sharing your pedals guyz! I am checking them out.

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
Check this one out guyz. I just heard of this one and know nothing about it. It is expensive though at $350. Just posting this to show it not to pimp it.

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
WOW !!! another box that blows my mind in the price dept. I should not be so quick
to jump on it's back , the demo did sound good !, but again at 350$ its alot for a box that sits on the floor IMO !. Good find solarburn , i had not heard of this one also . i even checked my list of " BOUTIQUE " stuff , but no dice !!!!

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
Yeah I heard some good things in there but that price is way more than I've ever forked out for a pedal. I want to hear more clips of it though...

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.
Question for you guys.
How do you guys boost your crunch/gain channel with OD in front?Do you set the amp's gain to desired setting(crunch/break up point) then boost it whenever needed or do you guys leave the pedal on all the time and let the guitar volume knob do the rest? Im quite confused how you guys usually do it. The reason i asked this is because i can get my desired tone on my DSL 401 without boost. Do the head/cab version reacts differently vs. the combo gain and volume wise? Maybe im just doing it wrong. Thanks in advance! Really cool thread by the way. |

Re: Dedicated overdrive/clean boost your Marshall thread.

Yes. I set my crunch for some break up and then turn the pedal on with it set where I like it and leave it that way. I play with the pedals on and use guitar volume for cleans. Sometimes I just play with the crunch channel with the pedal off. Depends on what tone I want. No hard rule there. Once I start a song I will usually stay with that particular gain voice for the entire song and then work guitar volume for cleans or just dynamics or kick it off for more clean. I don't want to do too much foot stomp'n during a song. I like to keep it simple. Sometimes I'll run one into another as long as it doesn't turn into a mess. Generally I have 3 OD pedals I like to use on the crunch channel. I'll use them when I need to. Right now I'm dig'n lead 2(no boost)with gain about 3 on the knob for midgain stuff. So totally I have 4 different gain voicings I mess with but all are Marshally. Forgot to mention I use Time based pedals in the loop but this thread focuses on the OD or boost pedals so I left that out.
