I've learned that I can get something useful out of almost any OD pedal. Give me any two dirt pedals and I can, almost always, stack them to create something good, even great. The dirty stomps I like the least, typically, have too much compression, yet I can usually back down the gain and use...

I suck at reading a person's mind, but I can answer wrong all day to vague posts. Let's play this game again sometime. :baimun: To be perfectly honest, even if you'd have included all the details, I probably would not have posted anything useful. It's in my nature to post pointless twaddle...

Bass?

My local store is closed on Sunday. :cry:

I can’t believe how great the new release sounds. Excellent live recording!

Vinyl is dead! Long live records!

Happy Gibson Acoustic Day!

I like it. Are those mic'd amps or modelers on the electric guitar parts?

You can use a compressor, a boost or even a low gain OD pedal as a limiter (set the gain low). Set the pedal to reduce volume at the start. This is sometimes referred to as underdrive. Then, turn off the pedal to get loud enough for the full band mix. You can actually do the same thing with...

Listen to some Pixies songs. In my mind, the quieter parts will be cleaner and the louder parts will be overdriven. With a traditional amp, you could set it right at the edge of breakup, where hard pick attack sends the amp into overdrive. You could try to set a compressor up as a limiter, to...
