I'm done getting

mike_l

more dirt pedals.

I've just ordered an MXR Custom Badass 78, which should be with me early next week.

I think I've covered every possible dirt needed.

 

Call back next week when I've ordered number 23.........

Covering every possible dirt pedal is never going to happen. I have 11 standalone dirt pedals plus a Zoom G3 and an M13 plus a couple of modeling amps.

I still need more.

need or want?

mike_l

With standalone stompies, I can cover everything from Pink Floyd to Slayer.

Some are better as lead boost, some rhythm, some are an alternative to an amp.

I think I have covered every possible dirt situation with 22 pedals....

Ppffttt. What's the difference?

All my dirt comes from my amp (plus a clean boost). I can't see myself ever wanting more. But have thought on occasions about a Fuzz

I had the same thing, my amp was my dirt, then i bought a Hardwire SC-2 and now i have dirt AND distortion and it sounds twice as bad ass and way more tweakable.. love that pedal

viz

I only ever get keeley dirt pedals. Hence I have 9 dirt pedals.

mike_l

The Hardwire is awesomes as a standalone into a clean amp.

I've yet to try it into a dirtyamp as a boost.

@DesVegas have you tried an MXR Distortion+ into a dirty amp? If not, you really should. Tighter low-end brighter, more "sparkly" top-end. and enough gain to sink, raise, and resink a battleship.

DesVegas

^ no i haven't mike but now i will, what have you got against battleships?

mike_l

Nothing, just saying there's a lot of gain available should you like that sort of thing.

In case you hadn't guessed I do like gain........

DesVegas

i did hear that about you.. captain gainer they call you round these parts ... gaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiinerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

You just have to get into fuzz pedals now and the whole story can start again.

mike_l

@monquixote ; I don't get on with Fuzz. Closest I have/can get on with is the Mr Ed which, when used in conjunction with a Distortron gives a nice Gilmourish fuzzy-yet-clean lead sound.

monquixote

Maybe you just haven't found the right fuzz yet. 

I think you need to buy 20 or so to find out. 

Gassage

Me too.

I just tried a gamete of things, only to conclude that I'd got the best in the first place.

Aw, now I want 22 fuzz pedals.
<:-P

monquixote

There is a Swollen Pickle on the classifieds that I really want. That's pretty close to fuzz heaven.

mike_l

Well go get it then.......
