  • Boss SD-1. It's awesome.

    I miss my Blues driver too, may have to pick one of those up again.
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    It's an awesome combo. I might have to pick up another BD as well.

    Depends on the amp. 

    Blues Cube? OD-3 or Black Magic Zendrive

    Traynor valve amp? Timmy

    Bolstered / decorated by boost pedal and Lovepedal Bonetender. 

    Honourable mentions to Reverend Drivetrain 2, Tech 21 Comptortion, Mooer Black Secret, BB Comp.

    Need to cut back, clearly.

    J Rockett Blue Note - a clean warm-sounding overdrive that fattens things up nicely without colouring the sound too much. 
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

  • No-one into Lovepedal? I have an Eternity Burst and it's decent.

  • I can’t have only one. Top picks at the moment would be Anarchy Gold Class, Jan Ray, and Archer. 

    But I have Revival Drive Compact waiting for my at my folks’ house which is rather exciting. And I still haven’t tried any Thorpys :(

    Probably the Boss OS-2.

    ... because it's the 'overdrive' pedal that made me realise I actually prefer distortion pedals for doing that job. I always used it with the 'color' control well to the DS side.

    Strict overdrive pedals - either the SD-1 or the TS-9. They both just 'do something' with a mildly overdriven amp that just works, and I've never heard anything more supposedly refined that actually works any better, or even as well.

    The Catalinbread Formula 55 has been on my board for 15 months now.  It replaced a Nobels OD-1 which I didn't think was ever going away. 
    I have it cos it can get you in the territory of Neil-Young-amp-about-to-die high gain that doesn't sound metal and/ or fizzy.
    It's a very particular sound and I love it.
    I don't spend an entire gig in that sound, cos I'm not NY.  But 'tis a glorious thing to have on tap. 
    And just for the record it tames right down too.  But it's absolutely not a transparent overdrive.  It will colour you sound tweed.

    I have a Bonetender and a Black Magic Zendrive, both by Lovepedal. Very good pedals.

  • I think it’s suffice to say that we all have quite different tastes from each other doesn’t it :)

    I still really want to try one of those. Should have done so in Andertons yesterday really.
