Now I'm looking for an OD pedal. I thought it might be cool to have a tube-driven OD pedal, but I don't know if the extra cost is worth it.]]> From Here to There GuitarHack https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298349 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298341 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:45:17 +0000
I don't know why people hate Behringer so much. They came on strong about 10 years ago with many very innovative products. And they were ahead of their time, they had everything manufactured in China and were able to offer good products for great prices. Some real big NAME companies put them down for this, now these very same companies are having their products manufactured in China.

So who is copying who? :wink:

Here's what the TO800 sounds like cranked all the way to max.

This pedal gets excellent harmonics. This fellow had the tone turned down a little too low for my liking, but the tone control is very responsive and can go from very thick and muddy all the way to very bright and edgy. Not bad for $30.]]> From Here to There Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298341 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298290 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:43:51 +0000 Wes, I've never looked into Behringer's stuff before, but I recently visited their site to check out the VT999 OD pedal. I also listend to some samples of other pedals and was quite impressed, especially after factoring in their prices.]]> From Here to There GuitarHack https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298290 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/tube-stompboxes/#post-298243 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:40:38 +0000
An overdrive pedal socks it to your preamp section of your amp. So you can get really overdriven tones at lower volumes, plus it can sock up the overdrive of an amp with a low gain preamp section.

I also recommend the Behringer TO800 overdrive pedal. This was designed after the original 80's tubescreamer made famous especially by Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is a great pedal. I had band practice yesterday and it is still my go-to pedal. This is not a distortion pedal, it is overdrive, but excellent tone.

Here is a good soundclip, this guy says he likes it MORE than his modded Tubescreamer. :wink:
