lowest gain OD

captions87 · Post by **captions87** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:39 pm

Just like the title says. A lot of overdrive pedals I've tried, I end up never using the gain past 8 or 9 o clock. I'd like a really low gain OD where I would be able to use the entire range from minimum to maximum, but still staying within the low gain realm. Right now I'm using a VFE Pale Horse, as well as a DOD 250 Yellow reissue, both of which I'm getting decent tones with, but again, can't get the gain knob past 8 without going into too much distortion territory. And I've already adjusted the internal control on the VFE to set for the lowest gain, which improved things a bit, but still.

Maybe Mellowtone Signing Tree?

Earthquaker Speaker Cranker? I haven't used one myself but from what I heard it works good for adding a touch of overdrive and grit to the sound.

Way Huge Pork Loin seems like it'd be just right for this.

Fuzzrocious Dark Driving? I believe that with the trim pots, you can get a good low-gain sound.

Singing Tree and Devi's Karaoke Party were drives I've owned where I had to crank it to get the amount of distortion I wanted, so I imagine they'd be close to what you're looking for. Also McSpunckle's And Aardvarks had some great low gain options as well.

Fuck it, now that I think of it, And Aardvarks was super sexy for low gain, as long as you weren't driving your tubes too much with the output volume it wasn't too high gain.

KLONopin.

Singing Tree is disgustingly low gain.

I have no idea. I'm just hoping that with the power of the star people all will be made clear.
