recomendations for dual overdrive pedal

Barney

Im thinking of getting a dual pedal to put in front of a clean amp that will give 2 good drives and a volume boost on one of them...anybody have experience with any good ones..

The Wampler Tom Quayle one? Dual Fusion I think it's called.

I've just got a wampler slo - distortion and boost.  It sounds awesome, very meaty and the boost is independent so that might be handy.

I like the sounds of of the bogner red and blue and would like one.

The kingsely pedals sound great and I'd like to try those as well.

A bit cheaper and also tempting - thomann have a couple of pedals from T rex,  dual drive £61 for two drives in one, and the ego drive £55 for a drive and boost.

ZVex Box of Rock?

If it's two od pedals in one box you're looking for, I'd go for a wampler hot wired or an xotic bb plus. The latter lets you decide the order in which they can stack but I found it difficult to dial. The wampler was fantastic but I was never in the need of the distortion side.

@john_p did you get that SLO from GuitarGuitar? I just missed out on that pedal...glad you like it...i had it before and it was awesome with my friends amp but didnt sound great with my amp at the time...but always wanted to get it...especially as i have much better amps now.

I did -  I saw your thread about a pedal you missed and thought it was a coincidence it was the same price.    I haven't tried it through the twin yet but it sounds might fine through the little bogner.   I was looking for a bognor red so it might get replaced and I'll give you a shout.  So far though it's a great distortion and the boost is a handy bonus.

Double barrel. Essentially a Blues breaker and a Tube screamer, you can select which one gets pushed into the other too.

I've owned the Xotic BB+ and Barber Electronics Burn Unit, both very nice pedals. A friend of mine had the JHS Sweet Tea which I was very envious of for a while...

Fulltone Fulldrive and Bogner Blue/Red fit the bill. Also the Barber custom stuff is 2 pedals in one (albeit large) enclosure. I have one with a Ltd and a Direct Drive in and it's great.

Blackstar HT-Dual is pretty good IMO, if you ignore all the arguments about whether it's "really all valve" and just listen to it.

Expensive though, and you could get something "boutique" and hand wired for the same price…

It's also pretty large and needs a 22v power supply, so you can't run it off whatever is powering the rest of your board if you have one.

Got a Jetter Red2 on here recently & it's a great pedal - it's Jetter's Gain Stage Red & Helium pedals in one box - great range of tones in it & the stacking order can be swapped which is nice too. 

Another thing I'm thinking of is getting my klone modded so it has 2 volume controls - could be handy i reckon

What's the amp?

I've got a Blackstar Dual. What I like about it is that when you switch one channel on it switches the other off, so a good 3 channel option when used with the amps clean channel. But it is a big lump of kit and needs a different power supply.

Anybody know ? is there any other pedal with the same switching options but a 9v supply and not so big ??

The Bogners are great. The one I always recommend is the Radial Trimode or the Plexitone depending on whether you want American or British flavours. Independent drive and volumes with various eq options.

Presumably this? http://www.blackstaramps.com/products/lt-dual/

Foxrox ZIM is worth a look. The ZIMcard concept means it might outlive a few board re-jigs, since you can put a variety of ODs, distortions and fuzzes in each channel, plus each channel has its own input and output which opens up all kinds of fun routing possibilities.

On the other hand, isn't it about time someone said "don't buy a dual OD, just buy two single ODs"? It's a valid point...

True dat, but you save on one 9v output of yer PSU.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...EHX G4 Muff.
