Help me to reorganize/change my dirt pedals

Post by Midnight Rider »

I have:
1. Digitech CM2 for overdrive (it's too transparent & I wanna to change it)for now it works like a boost pedal.
2. Mooer Black Secret (great clone of RAT,I've used to have RAT2 and Black Secret is very good distortion pedal...when CM2 push it, sounds even warmer).
3. Blackart Tonework Pharaoh (verstile muff, I wish more high gain on it...good for classic fuzz solos)
4. Zvex Fat Fuz Factory (favorite dirt pedal...for crazy fuzz,it's a keeper)

Now, I need advice please... I playing on humbuckers, mostly alternative rock & like to have more options.
That's 4 pedals,not small place on board,but if one better pedal can change CM2 & Black Secret that would be great.
I love Marshall's type of distortion (I know about SL Drive, DLS-witch is not so good sounding with other fuzz pedals as I heard) but it's not a must.

ZVEX Box of Rock could be substitute for Hardwire CM2 & Black Secret or Xotic EP+Xotic SL Drive ...

What do you recommand me to do ?

thanks

If you like Marshall distortion I would check out the EQD Talons

If you like the Rat + more sound, you could look into a Fuzzrocious Rat Tall with the second gain footswitch. It sounds sweet. You could go for their Rat King too but I dont find the oscillation very usable.

EDIT: I'm using CM2 like a booster to push Boss SYB5 (bass pedal)...with only distortion I don't get good results.
Because of that I'm looking for boost-OD-dist option
