Steel String Singer type pedal?

marcus449

appreciate all the replies! I think the sound I've got in my head is a case of trial and improvement. 

I wish I had the cash for all your pedal suggestions as they are all in the right ballpark.

I've got a voodoo lab sparkle drive and boss bd-2 keeley at the moment and will looking at getting an EQ pedal to further the quest

Peach Guitars will have our Steel String Clean Drive pedal this Fall.  If you can wait for it, it will be the closest to the actual Steel String Singer that you'll find.  We used the actual Dumble Steel String Singer S/N 001 to voice the pedal with.

Here are few examples of the Steel String Clean Drive into totally clean Fender Amp on 3:

Like nearly all of us, Ive never played a Dumble... And most of us have a different notion of what the Dumble sound is...

Nonetheless, Dumbles seem to be known for their touch sensitivity, harmonics and ability to clean up and respond to digging in.

In that regard, the Mad Prof Simble is one of the best Dumble pedals. It is vastly underrated, and has astonishing clean up/dig in qualities.

Oh look, it's this guy again....

so so basically you've made a pedal to make a clean amp sound like a clean amp. Well done. Clap.




clap.

The Simble is a great pedal, but it defiantly in the ODS territory as I'm sure Mad Professor would agree.  For the Steel String Singer, it's a much different vibe to my ear.  Lots more low-end, more compressed than I think it gets credit for, and does have some overdrive to it that's unique.  Lots of clarity and definition between each note even with a good amount of clipping.

If you check out the first demo with Owen Barry above (White Relic Strat), you'll see that it has some gain to it, not to the extent that say an ODS would have, but it has a great low to mid-gain OD tone there that's very pleasing and certainly would benefit many players.  It's quite versatile as part compressor/part overdrive/part fat boost, but the only way to know is to play one and evaluate for yourself.  I hope you'll give it a shot when it makes it over to the UK this Fall

I would never buy from Vertex or a Vertex product. Sorry mate - however nice you are now...

Mr Vertex is describing a Way Huge Pork Loin pedal.

I totally understand.  Perhaps with time I can prove otherwise

That's a very cool pedal too, a bit more boost/eq centric than the Steel String Clean Drive other than the sonic characteristics and voicing of the respective pedals.
