it is good for the loser grunge distortion. and best for rock and blues. Agree. Overdrive pedals such as the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive I have (another take on TS) create that loose distortion by overdriving the amp input stages. This is a very organic, touch sensitive break-up crunch that is only lightly compressed. The tighter and more compressed metal distortions are going to be created in two completely different places: In a distortion pedal itself and/or in the "playing-it-loud" heavily saturated amp output (power) stage. And even for those, the exact sonic nature of either depends very much on the respective pedal and/or amp design.]]> From Here to There gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-216485 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-216468 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 17:08:38 +0000 it doesnot play metal. try as I might. it doesnt have that tight metal distortion.

whenever, I work a pedal I play with all the controls. take notes of the settings in case you stumble onto something.
more often than not full on with the pedal dials isnt as good as backing off on the dials.
when plugging in from a guitar to pedal I always have the volume knob of the guitar full on. I want the biggest signal goiung ointo the box so it has the most to work with in doing its thing.
I use a volume pedal or amp volume for final output. the output knob on the pedal works too.]]> From Here to There dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-216060 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-216016 Fri, 22 Dec 2006 06:43:48 +0000
Now I understand the EQ better, thanks. I think I might try one of the Danelectro ones as there so cheap, and I could always get a better one in the future.]]> From Here to There Iggy https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-216016 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-215872 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 17:36:41 +0000 leave the amp on clean and try the distortion pedal. if that tone is suitable you're good.
slowly bring up the gains on the amp and hear the differences. take notes.

EQ pedal. use it to tailor the tone further. some cut the mids so the slider bars make a V shape. I dont like cut mids. the sound is anemic. however, it may be needed for that over the top metal stuff.
you can leave the pedal on. I sometimes set the output higher then switch off. I switch on when I want the pedal, then, as a lead boost.

take notes an fiddle around.the notes will help when you find what you want. otherwise it is too easy to get lost.]]> From Here to There dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-215872 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/a-few-pedal-questions/#post-22701 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 06:12:22 +0000
