What's your main dirt pedal?

This is still the only pedal I seriously get out when I want to get the job done, bass or guitar. It doesn't pack quite enough punch for the heavier metal stuff I occasionally play, but it does everything else.

Plus it's also another "Tobacco Worm" special ;)

I love those little Joyo pedals... Got me a "California Sound" which emulates a Mesa Boogie,


and an "American Sound", and I can change the voice of my amp from Fender Champ(ish) to a Fender Hot Rod Deville in just the press of a foot switch!

I have to save up for gold coins instead of gold pedals. She keeps telling me to have a chat with you for specifics!
 
I work Sundays...and Saturdays...and Monday through Friday. that woman will not let a fella rest!
 
I got pedals but can't remember where I put em.:oops:But I found my old Zoom 505 processor and expression pedal on a book shelf behind some DVD's. Stuck a 9VDC in it and it still had my settings in it from 12 years ago or better. It's like Christmas here for me. So I guess I'll just say my Zoom is my main dirt pedal. And delay, fuzz, phase, waw, ummm, everything I guess! :eek::cool:
 
I have a Zoom 505 II in my shoulder bag just in case.
It is all programmed and the sounds are 95% of the way there.
(That last 5% costs a LOT of money by the way.)
 
My ProCo Rat is my favorite too, and before that the Biyang Mouse. The Mouse is a Rat clone with a toggle switch that allows you to select among normal, max and Turbo modes. I love the Mouse, but when the chance to pick up a genuine Rat at a good price came along, it seemed like the thing to do.

Cool sound! I didn't know that company. Where is it based?
 
No idea brother. I bought mine from eBay... I'm pretty certain they are made in China though. And Harley Benton appears to be a brand distributed by Thomann.de, according to the internet...
 
I don't use the California Sound one anymore. Doesn't really suit my tastes. I think it's actually at a friends house at the moment, and I don't miss it. I definitely prefer the American Sound, which is basically a copy of the Tech 21 Blonde. Can get some really nice tones, from bright and sparkly to overdriven crunch.
 
I was using a Keeley 1962x but just swapped it for a Bogner Ecstasy Blue. I am liking it so far. I also like my Boss BC-2 even stacked with a OD9. Using these strictly thru clean channels.
 
90% of the time it's just the 18-watt set to a nice level crunchy on chords, a bit driven on leads.

When I want just a little more, it's a Mad Professor Sweet Honey set lowish.

When I want to wail I have a Way Huge Green Rhino, sort of a TubeScreamer type. Fat, feedbacky insanity.

I also have a storage tub full of others that may come out sometimes, but mostly just those two and a driven amp.

P.
 
I am using a Tech21 British for my overdriven Marshall sounds. I also have a Paul Martin PlexiTone and a Mooer Solo that sounds awesome.
