overdrive pedals

[shredrat]

ok so people,i am planning to get an overdrive pedal within this week.So far i've got 4 pedals that i am considering,they are...Digitech bad monkey tube overdrive,Digitech tone driver,Ts7 and finally ts9...i am looking for a smooth overdrive to get the sound SIMILAR to eric johnson...please give constructive comments.thanks!

 

[trianglebiscuit]

get the bad monkey.

its cheap and really tweakable due to the treble and bass EQing.

has a bigger gain range them the TS series which gives it more flexibility.

 

[MackSonne]

Why not other choices like Blues Driver?

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

Well given you list... I'd suggest you try the Bad Monkey too... but why not give wlydeboon an PM.. he's selling off his Russian Muff for a good price.

 

[ShredCow]

hahaha.... none of them will get you anywhere near EJ. Hahaha...

 

[nickyseow]

hahaha ok according to my book.

if you wanna sound like EJ:

strat-> (essentially) BK Butler Tube Driver, Fuzz Face, t.c electronics stereo chorus-> marshall plexis.


Hows that for a constructive response mr Rork?

 

[ShredCow]

shredrat, do you see a tubescreamer in the list nicky provided?

 

[shredrat]

thanks people,i guess i'll get the monkey.

 

[shredrat]

was my question a joke? why do u guys have to laugh?

 

[ShredCow]

*sigh*
Because none of the pedals you mentioned will give you Eric Johnson.

The muff crawldaddy mentioned, now that can get you closer.

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

Yups. Have a nice muff and an EQ pedal plus a volume booster.. will get you places. Good luck finding your dream pedal some people just have different ways of putting their points across.. no right or wrong :wink:

 

[seekz]

EJ uses a TS! I think...

 

[shredrat]

is the russian muff called little big muff also?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

russian muff is in black enclosure

little big muff is another muff pedal

 

[soul_player]

Hmm, I thought EJ uses a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz? no?

If it is the Dallas Arbiter, maybe u can try the dunlops reissue...
I dunno how close is the reissue compared to the original though...

 

[suckasucks]

Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face i believe is what its called. the Dunlop reissues are really looked down upon on other forums. try roger mayer fuzz pedals but they are really difficult to find locally.

 

[nickyseow]

EJ uses a TS! I think...

Evidence please.

Dunlop reissues are really looked down upon on other forums

YES. Really slammed over the hcfx and tgp.. you'd do better with an analogman sunface BC108, i believe pathein bro can attest to that.. haha

 

[thor666]

EJ apparently used a green TS like pedal during his Singapore concert @ NUS Concert Hall. Sorry, no pictures. I just see with my eyes only. Funny thing is he put the TS on the brick (which was supposed to be for the Tube Driver).

Any case - read nickyseow's signature. So true.

 

[nickyseow]

ooh.. TS-like, and TS-ey quite different.. hmm.


yes my sig. booya.
