Off Topic Distortion Pedal

If you're after luke's sound try a tonebone trimode because that's what he uses for lead sounds.
Tonebone Trimode tube distortion - introduction


The Trimode is a great pedal, but it perturbs me that Radial advertises it as a three channel pedal. BYPASS is NOT a channel. It actually only has 2 channels. Totally deceptive in my opinion. In that respect, I guess my wah is two channel too.

I bought a Damage Control Demonizer and tried it out. I didn't end up keeping it because it was WAY to big for my pedalboard considering it only has 1 sound + boost. Good quality sound, just poorly thought out in terms of the physical design. A little ridiculous.

Today, I just got a Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler. I had never liked fuzz, until today. This thing is just terrifying. :cool:

Yeah the Damage Control pedals are huge, but it doesn't affect me because that's the only pedal I have :o
 
I want to try the new Vox Satchurator. It's supposed to cover from vintage to modern tones.

Don'y know if you've heard of or tried Blackstar pedals.

Relativeley new UK company.

The HT Dual is awesome.

Two channels, Ch1 can be set clean or crunch, Ch2 Higher gain.

Has a pre-amp tube in it which runs at 300 volts like an amp pre-amp tube.

Three band eq with a knob when turned fully left gives more of an "American" feel and fully right a "British" feel, but you can blend them anywhere in between.

Built like a tank to withstand lots of stomping and also has a speaker emulated output if you want to go direct to a desk.

Check out the website Blackstar Amplification
 
I recommend the Barber Direct Driver or Burn Unit (if you like more buttons). Both sound amazing.
