Hey peoples, I'm looking for an effect pedal as my amp has a very muddy overdrive on the lower pitched strings despite tinkering with all the settings(its a Yamaha Ga-10).
I'm wondering if I should get the Boss OD-3 or DS-1 or the Os-2. Can anyone tell me the prices and where to get the best deal? any other suggestions are appreciated. I'll be focusing on playing punk rock btw. Thanks.

HAHA! Same amp as my old one. Dude, it's not even OVERDRIVE! It's only drive. tongue.gif
It doesn't even have a gain dial!

For ur punk rock, I recommend a DS-1.

definitely.

only two choices:
Roland Cube 15 or the Vox AD15VT. VERY VERY VERY worth it. biggrin.gif

it's about a few hundreds bucks more... rather than wasting 400 bucks for nothing.

you don't buy a 15w if you already own a 10w. no difference. same speaker size, same non-existant headroom...
you'd better off with a pedal, that you will be able to reuse with your next amps.

it's more like double the price la pix. so really have to think carefully..

To me i would rather get an amp rather than getting pedals to boost the GA-10.

been there done that, most if not all of the people I asked said it's not worth to splurge to improve on the GA-10. so, I saved up to get the Vox AD30VT. if you wanna get the cube 30, it's up to you. I saw it for RM990 at Rhapsody Midvalley earlier this year. Sure can get discount. Especially now that the year end sales are going on.

chapree, buying a new better amp can aid you in tweaking your tone also what.. but of course pedals are a more wallet friendly way.

my verdict is: save up for a new 30W amp, the wait is worth it.

@XCrude: no idea about the bad monkey, sorry. heard that digitech products are hard to find here. where r u planning to get ur bad monkey?

@mwthemovie: indeed this board rocks. biggrin.gif what amp are u planning to get? CK Music is now offering a 20% discount on the Vox AD30VT. So now it's RM800. Roland Cube 30 should be priced around the same, give or take a few dollars.
