[QUOTE="|an:535030"]sacreligion said:[QUOTE]Adam from KSE started this trend where bands are using Maxon OD-808 pedals like a TubeScreamer, I guess it really solidifies the tone and brings everything together. I haven't tried it personally, though...and i'm pretty sure it runs upwards of $100[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say he started the trend, anyone who knows gear pretty much is aware that an OD with gain down/level up before a tube amp on the edge of breakup is the way to go for killer tone. Typically this is more associated with blues and rock tones, but with some modification, the same can be had for a slamming metal tone. I bet you hear this same tone on more records than you are aware of, it's fairly common technique. I personally used an EQ set with a bass cut/mid + level boost before my Boogie DR in my last band, it's basically the same thing as a tubescreamer - level boost, bass cut, mid boost. This reduces the woofiness of the bass, really tightens up the sound, and the mid boost causes the guitar to really cut through the mix. Of course, getting the bass back in post-distortion is the tricky part, and if you're too liberal with the mids, you risk fighting the vocals with your guitar tone. You have to get a bit creative to get the bass back in your signal, use a graphic EQ or a in the loop for the most control. But, honestly, the best piece of gear I've come across lately for cheap tone is the Roland Micro-Cube. 120 bucks and that little amp is slamming, direct or through the 5 inch speaker. I did a 14 hour studio session last saturday, with both guitar scratch tracks being recorded through Micro-Cubes direct. On the rectifier setting, that little amp made our scratch tracks sound better than some records I've heard. Best 120 you'll ever spend. Honestly, if you're not willing to spend 75-125 (which is barely even money in terms of gear), you're not going to find much. Try Craigslist, for used stuff, in that case. [/QUOTE]
