Amp is a Marshall Valvestate 102R

Pedals used are:
Digitech Bad Monkey
Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Wah
Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer
Boss DD20 Giga Delay

So what scales would you use to improv for this song?

[machogriz]

@BasketballJoe2010 I believe this is in G major, so you can use G major scale or G major pentatonic

Very nice playing, that white strat is very classy.

Which OD pedal do you like best: the Bad monkey, the TS-9, or the BD-2?

[machogriz]

Back then, I liked the Bad Monkey the best, but that was before I had my TS-9 Keeley Modded. Now thats my prime overdrive. I've got a Bad Monkey pedal demo you should check out. I need to demo the others too.

Doesn't your Blues driver do the same thing as your Ibanez tube screamer? My suggestion is to invest in a EQ, to manage your tone.

[machogriz]

The tube screamer and the blues driver are totally different in their sounds. Plus, I usually use the blues driver to fatten my clean sound, and the tube screamer for my main overdrive. I have thought about an EQ to change the tone on solos though. Thanks for the advice!
