The quest for more distortion

[pes_laul]

Hey all,

SO I really like my amp but with my DS-1 I cant get the hard distortion that I used to. I can crank the gain on my amp but that annihilate my clean sounds (even if I roll back I dont like the faint grit)

So any suggestions on how to get more? maybe a new pedal, or ne pups?

A kit might be a good way to go if you have the skills.

My choice is either the Radial Tonebone Classic or Hot British pedals. You will have no shortage of distortion.

Try a Danelectro Black paisley pedal got mine for £20 off ebay, gain a-plenty. :dude:

jeez they certainly dont give that tonebone away..

Hey spud I got a question: could the tonebone get like a sort of Grungyish nirvana tone? and is it noisy?

I d say,this is the mean machine and so much tones variety..I d like this one ..

while I have not heard one....I am gassing for the one that Rocket tossed out....the Brown Sound In A Box.

I'm in with this. Radial products are excellent and very high quality. The Plexi Tube can be be set to face melting levels.

Pes,

I just got a Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion the other day. Apparently, Kurt Cobain used one when in Nirvana. The pedal has a normal mode and a boosted mode. The normal mode sounds like a DS-1 to my ear. The boosted mode has that "cocked wah" sound with boosted gain and mids. In fact, it sounds a lot like the DOD Grunge pedal, but better. If you want the Nirvana sound, check into the DS-2.
