Fly Board: looking for a pedal to sound close to my Dual rec

So I am in a Foo Fighters Tribute... we are starting to get "fly gigs" which I am building a pedal Board...since I am not sure I will get a Mesa Dual Rec all the time...
I need a pedal to simulate...I am think a Wampler Triple Wreck? any other ideas...

Are you at least guaranteed a tube amp? Usually, gigs providing a backline rent either Marshalls, 5150s, or Dual Recs, often in that order of preference. You really don't have to think that hard to get a great FOH sound with any of those amps, so I'd say just make sure you have a couple of different sounding overdrives, a boost for the effects loop with two extra cables (most amps you encounter will have no solo boost), and whatever effects you think you need. I like to think that a good guitarist is able to get his sound out of almost any good amp that gets thrown at him, so don't sweat it; go have fun, dude! The cool indie summer regional metal fests that my band likes to play throw all kinds of stuff at us, and it's actually refreshing to go play a show with something different.

Another option is to hunt down a Mesa V-Twin pedal. That thing makes lots of gain, and is all tube. That and a tube screamer, in the front of ANY amp's clean channel works.

A Wampler Triple Wreck will definitely fit the bill. I used one extensively with my Fender Super Reverb. I also own a 3 channel DR and a Rectoverb. The Triple Wreck will get you VERY close but you'll never perfectly duplicate the sound of a Mesa.

Bogner's new "Red" pedal is also a good choice.

Hope this helps!

Nope

I've got the schematic for the V-Twin and there's more solid state in it than tube. If you use the "guitar amp" outputs, there's two tube triodes, four op-amps (which include transistors, so solid state), and five clipping diodes in the signal path on the dirty channel. And only one of those triodes is a gain stage, the other is a cathode follower to drive the tone stack. Still a good sounding pedal, but it's not as "tube" as it looks

I was actually thinking fly board with A triple wreck and a bogner red....would cover the mesa and Marshall over drive tones ...plus the bogner has a boost...

 

[cyber104]

That sounds like a great combination

How about that Tech21 U.S. Metal pedal? Even has diamond plate graphics on it.
I always have a Sansamp GT2 as my backup rig strait to p.a. solution.
Awesome lil pedal.
