Time to make a decision... (distortion/overdrive timez)

Post by mutmoo »

Ok, so I need to make a decision, what 2 overdrives/distortions out of the 3 listed should I get? Thigs I'm looking for: Touch sensitive, works with volume know, the 2 stack well with each other or other pedals. Sounds I'm going for: Against Me's Reinventing Axl Rose, Modest Mouse's LCW, post-rock/shoegaze. They'd be going from a Gretsch G5120 into a Fender Blues Jr.

I would've listed a Dark Boost but it feels out of place, I'll end up with all of these eventually :lol:

I'm also open to suggestions

The wiio v1 has been my main OD since november-ish...it covers ton of ground from a clean-ish boost with a bit of a chimey vibe to raunchy OD to an all out exploding fuzz. :love:
It's just amazingly responsive and dynamic, this along with my Tim are my desert island OD's.

Not sure how the v2's stack up, I know they were tamed a bit.

Mellowtone Singing Tree :idk:

It stacks well with other pedals. I don't play with many dynamics so I wouldn't know how it handles picking dynamics. :facepalm: Works well when the volume is rolled back.
