Hi Expressers, I am looking for a pedal that will give me a sweet sounding distortion, preferably via the Blues mode in Channel 2. Brian May and David Gilmour/Comfortably Numb solo come to mind.
I have a BB Plus, and pretty happy with it generally, but the sound is still not quite right. Also run an Alexs Attenuator, and that has been a big help being able to drive the power tubes more. I have an amp that has nice growl now for rhythm, but not right (for me) for solos.
Also tried a Big Muff this morning, but while it sure gives sustain, its waaaay too fuzzy for me.
I have been told a Maxon tube screamer may do it ??
If anyone can post me a pedal recommendation based on the Comfortably Numb sound description ( because terms like creamy, chewy, gritty, even growly etc are so subjective) Id much appreciate it . BTW- here's my tube mix if that helps :
V1: Tungsol 12AX7
V2: JJECC83S
V3: JJECC83S high gain
V4: Sovtek LPS balanced 12AX7
V5: Sovtek LPS 12AX7
Power tubes are 2 x 6L6 Winged Cs.
Thanks again, Don
