close

I have a 59 bassman reissue and I want a distortion pedal that will give me awesome distortion and heavy distortion (where i can get good pinch harmonics). I dont want a metal pedal but close in the amount of possible gain. Anyone have suggestions of distortion pedals to try out or multi-effects pedals or modelers to try?

I love the Boss DS-1 (and also the TS-9 and 808 Tubescreamers) through my '59 Bassman. Especially the DS-1...Satriani (and Vai) also used that pedal to overdrive thier Marshalls, and vintage Marshalls are very much like a '59 5F6-A Bassman. Hard to beat a nice DS-1. And if you don't set the distortion to high it'll clean right up when you lower the volume control of your guitar when you play rythym. Lew

hmmmm try the MESA V TWIN

1, try a ds-1

if it doesn't work out and worst case scenario you can't return it, it's only $40 and still a great pedal

Bassmans are one of the best amps with any pedals.

They're great with any tubescreamers.

The best distortion I have, though, is a Maxon 830, but they aren't cheap.

I think you should look at dual mode OD's, so you can turn your one channel amp into a 3 channel amp. The Fulltone Fulldrive II, Menatone Fish Factory, and the Z Vex Super Duper 2 in 1 would be 3 of the highest quality ones to look into.

Hey thanks for the suggestions guys. I will have to try out a bunch. Any one have any other suggestions to try?

if you want heavy dist, try out the übermetal from line6. i like it.

RID's Carl Martin Plexitone is great also...Gives you quot;Boostquot; Crunch or Higher Gain and it really does cop the Marshall vibe better than any other pedal I've played through...Pricey but it's a great pedal.

Take a look at The Gristle King on Greg Koch's website. Looks like he and a buddy are marketing pedals now. Check out the link on his homepage - it's hysterical.

He plays it through a Bassman, BTW.

I use a ToneBone Hot British with mine.

Another great pedal....I felt the Plexitone edged it out though...

Rocktron Silver Dragon
Has 1 tube and 2 modes, all tube (from blues to classic rock) and tube/ss combined (high gain).

Does any body know anything about the Rocktron Zombie pedal?

Maybe I do want a metal pedal. I tried a Boss Metal zone on a crappy marshall and it sounded pretty good. I like quite a bit of distortion but not that extremely trebly, makes your ears bleed metal sound. Anyone thing the Metal zone would sound good with my Bassman? ( i know, it is a clean amp I just want an awesome pedal to backup my Crate V-series and if the pedal is kick ass, it might become my main amp)

You can get a lot better sound than the Boss MZ.

Check out the G2D Morpheus maybe.
