Overdrive for Humbuckers

kswilson89

Can anyone suggest an overdrive to pair with the humbuckers on my Les Paul? I have my Klone set up with low gain and high volume to provide a boost to my signal and then use my Maxon OD-9 with my single coils in my strat. The OD-9 however is way too mid-heavy for my Les Paul. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Blues Driver...that doesnt have that mid hump of a lot of pedals. that said I'm not afraid of a middy dirt pedal (or drive channel) as they to me sound grest with a LP, at least as long as you dont really overdo it. LP into my DSL sounds rich and middy and classic!

An overdrive that doesn't have a mid hump, so not a TS.  

You want one that has transparent or flatter eq.

BD2 or OCD might suit.   or a Bluesbreaker variant.

or a Timmy.

Get a Zendrive. It’s midrange is very clear and well suited to humbuckers

I use a Bluesbreaker/PoT clone for low gain drive with humbuckers.

I just picked up a Thorpy Gunshot off here. First impressions are very positive.

I'm a big fan of the mxr dist+ with humbuckers. I use it with the gain down really low.

DOD Looking Glass has an input filter and stacked treble and bass cuts so you can shape it to suit pretty much anything.

A Zendrive or a clone of a Zendrive (i have a DopeFX) , sounds delightful with humbuckers

Thorpy Gunshot - great pedal and very versatile. 

A few carpe diem pedals have cropped up for sale recently too

I've had good results with the Xotic BB Preamp, it's got active bass n treble controls that really let you shape the tone.
