Interesting thread this is.....:twisted: Well for me my OD/DIST chain goes like this: Keeley katana>barber silver ltd>barber direct drive>goosonique 7theaven :twisted:

These are all the gain i will ever need that pretty much cover most, if not all of the OD/DIST grounds i am searching for.

Catalinbread Dirty Little secret boosted with Lizard Leg effects Flying Dragon. Big Marshall sound with gain control at the guitar's volume pot.

Currently:

Maxon OD9 Analogman modded ( Low gain OD )

Barber Direct Drive ( Presence + Deep Bass + Extended Treble Mod )

Ehx Metal Muff. ( Really high gain stuff like metal etc. )

So far all that i need,

i wanna try a DLS!!

Going thru a Modtone Dyno Drive then to a Goose modded Boss BD-2 Blues Driver (great pedal, thanks to Goose!). My mod Epi VJ is set to "more gain" mode with the gain at 8 o clock. I could get a great Marshall classic rock sound with the BD-2 alone n when I need a thicker tone, I step on the Dyno Drive.

But the only thing is, w/o the gain from my Epi VJ, my pedals won't sound good. So this will be a disadvantage if I jam or gig outside unless I bring my VJ along I would love to have the 7thheaven pedal someday...

Guitar > Boss SD-1 > EHX Metal Muff

The gain I get is okay for me. Still searching for a high gain distortion pedal without the fuzzy-ness.

 

[malaysian]

crunchbox, or sansamp tri-od.
couldn't find any better gain pedals for me.

I love my current pedals, even though I've played quite a number of pedals so far and heard others used in the studio. These are my favourites:

- Beta Aivin HM200, for high-gain distortion stuff though if turned down, you can get great classic rock and heavy overdrive tones.
- Digitech Bad Monkey. Built like a tank. Not exactly excellent through a solid-state amplifier set totally on clean, but add a bit of drive to the amp's clean tone (stimulate the breaking up of a tube amp) and set the Bad Monkey's drive to half... Excellent overdrive tone.

Best thing is, they're very affordable pedals.

MIJ DS-1 into 7th Heaven.

 

[dearxarson]

rapture --> goosed BD2 --> seventheaven --> boosty

covers all my gain needs

 

[teleplayer]

digitech bad monkey > cool cat transparent od > mij ds1.

i think it's quite versatile...

 

[tubescreamer]

My signal chain is now Barber B-Custom Cool > Barber Small Fry > Toneczar Openhaus . This lets me go from slightly gritty OD tones, to smoother/open gainier tones (depending on the 'Dynamics' setting), to all out palm muting chunk on the Openhaus.

I also have the following in my box of spare pedals, all of which have different voicings and serve different purposes:

Barber Burn Unit EQ
Barber Dirty Bomb
Cool Cat Transparent OD
Cool Cat Drive
Toneczar Dove (On order, will probably be a mainstay on my board when it arrives)

My wishlist currently includes:

Menatone Shut Up And Drive
Menatone Dirty Blonde
Menatone Kar Krash
Menatone King of Britains
Hermida Audio Zendrive
Hermida Audio Distortion
Catalinbread DLS
Barber DDSS
