super overdrive distortion for blues? Nothing like SRV. Boss wont cut it. Noise compressor please?

[pedalheadgeardemos]

@jaybird2284 well... the super overdrive is basically a ts808 circuit with asymmetrical clipping that makes it have a little more gain. so... yup SRV. the noise comes from dirty power in my house (playing in a room with a TV, wireless internet router, etc...) everywhere else that I play... and I have played in a lot of places... my set-up is virtually NOISE FREE.

[MegaJearBear]

to start of with not even coming close to srv tone and later you hear the compressor release alot of static sound now this is good for playing in your room but no where close to get that fender amp miced unto another output

[pedalheadgeardemos]

@MegaJearBear I guess this was more suited for voodoo chile than for pride and joy... I had the overdrive's gain up too hot.  and I have used this setup live in front of crowds of 1000+ and it's never sounded that buzzy. It was def. b/c of dirty power in my house.

i don't think this is anywhere near the srv sound. You should sell some of those pedals and buy a fulltone fulldrive mosfet or an ibanez ue300 or ue 400.

@rmerc79 Then it wouldn't be the "budget friendly" way, would it? my whole thing is to try to show people who don't have a lot of money and have pretty crappy stuff how to make it sound half way decent.

Boost the squash, squash the boost, blah blah blah... Throw ur whole rig out, buy a decent fender tube amp and a maybe a tube screamer. Thats all u need.

[SuperGuitarSlut]

How about 2 TS-808 Tubescreamer cascading and a simple fender voiced tube amp? Hot strat pickups, big nickel strings and hard picks, like dunlop jazz.

[aggravati0n]

no.

[vincemorenomusic]

"boost the squashed sound"?? "beat the junk out of your strings"?? "not sure what amp SRV used, but i can look it up"?? LMAO .. how bout throwing all those pedals away, get a Super Reverb and a Strat with 13 Gauge strings tuned a half step down , thats budget friendly.. oh and learn Pride and Joy

[thepeoplesuncle]

or use what i use 1x 68 strat,1x fender twin 100 and 1 x ts9 ... in the bag ! :)

[sirvidia]

he starts playing at 5m23s

[FreaquedeMusique]

@pedalheadgeardemos what you do... get a fender amp a strat and a tube screamer... instant srv.. this is shit..

[06Tommyg]

That poor old guy is spinnin in his grave laughin his balls off listening to this

[06Tommyg]

squash the boosted pre compressed signal and then run it through a holy grail LOLOL

[sebastianlubini]

Epic Fail

[stratocasterrelic]

The problem with certain pedals is way too much added buzz...the Strat buzz's anyway being single coil but pedals make it worse.
