i feel lazy today... i'll start to do something about that later on.
i remember some interesting distortion pedals and wah wah reviews, i'll try to include them in the new pin up thread..

really confusing now......

what should i get?

Boss MD-2 and MT-2 demo sound almost the same....MT-2 just slightly heavier than md-2...any opinion from u all for both pedal?

can provide the market price as well?

Thanks...

Anybody tried a morley dual bass wah? and know if i can get it anywhere in KL? and how much it would run for? well and any other relevant info would help.. thanks in advance

I don't know about the prices, but I say that its impossible to get a nice distortion out of the MD-2 and that the MT-2 is not flexible and a little artificial, but sounds pretty good.

Of course, it's been months since I've tried either, and I was very noobish when I did...

My recommendation, though - get and amp with decent distortion, and crank it with a booster. (I just checked your rig. Doesn't the Cube 30 have decent distortion already?)

yeah why wanna get those? furthermore those are not overdrive pedals that enhance distortion.

susah to turn on and off the distortion from the amp i guess.
got pedal easy...step...step..step....

but that defeats the purpose of getting a modelling amp in the first place.

hmm...that's one of the way to have higher quality tone.....

how about a fender amp or marshall amp.....but fender amp sounds soft but powerful(the boost)....i love the fender so much...but never ask for the price....

noooo......the distortion on the amp not too powerful as i ask my friend(6 years player) to test it out....if i buy the pedal only for more convenience....there's nothing but wasting for me as i not gig....

if it's not powerful enough, get an overdrive pedal to add more gain to it, not get a new distortion altogether.

@nerd

you mean that.....get an overdrive pedal and pair with the metal channel on the amp and play?

yes. something like the boss sd-1 or mxr zw-44 or the digitech bad monkey.

When you're setting the gain on your amp, the best to tip to keep in mind is that "you always need less gain than you think you need,". Go easy with the gain and if you think you're lacking distortion, whack your strings harder, you'ill be surprised how musical your guitar and amp could sound.

Yup, that's true ... .

I have seen alot of noobs, first time on stage go and put the Gain to 10 . He thinks more gain more cool ... my ears was like

definitely. and even for metal, more gain isn't necessarily better, in contrary to the general assumption.

heh, so am I a noob too for maxing out the gain on my Vox's Mesa modeller on stage?

Exactly, worse if they're using Boss distortion pedals (*Ahem* Metal Zone), ear-piercing and fizzy.

Yup, more gain also means less clarity and more compression.
If you substitute the gain with volume, you'ill get a bigger sound with clarity to cut through the band. What sounds good in the bedroom doesn't necessary sound the same live.

icic....Thanks for so much comment...

btw....which overdrive pedal is better btw the digitech bad monkey and boss's distortion pedal?

i ask my teacher to let me test out the bad monkey today....unfortunately a 'sold' tag there and no more stock....

after listen to the demo sound..personally felt that the vad monkay would be better...

hmm...u mean that..lets say...normally i love to use gain at 8....if i go for gig on the stage...i'm not suppose to use such high gain...should be around 6?

You could. Of course, you would need to turn your volume control up slightly so you're still loud enough. Just use your ears, play with the controls, find something you like and stick with it.
