The Ibanez Tube-Screamer is probably your best bet......

You can also try the SD-1....but not really sure if that'll work

sd-1 sounds better with a ds1 in my opinion. tubescreamer just dont sound that great coupled with a ds1.

how much will it cost me for sd-1?

how about a digitech or other brand? does different brand combined will give u something different other than using the same brand?

if im not mistaken the sd1 should be pretty cheap, slightly more than the ds1.

of course different pedals of diff brands will give u different sounds. its different types of pedals in the first place. thats the beauty of having stompboxes, u get to choose.

Do people normally boost a pedal with another pedal?
The TubeScreamer and DS-1 are more commonly used to boost their tube amp's distortion.

guys,please help me to identify this guitar.

I can't seem to make out what the head says. I did some searches around Google and managed to find that there are white and black Zakk Wylde Epiphones around.

Really? I got a statement from Epiphone once saying that they only make 'em in Vanilla White, a SPECIFIC color ONLY made for the Epip Zakk Wylde Bullseye.

its a custom model.

hey guys, I decided on getting a les paul but i don't know to get an sx one or epiphone one. I refered to my old guitar teacher, he told me to get an sx one cause with proper upgrades and tune ups, he says it can sound even better than an epiphone. But I sorta don't want to have another sx cause my strats already an sx..if an epi is the way to go, then maybe i'll go down to sg this holidays and get one. btw, my teacher also said, and i quote "epiphone is a crap brand". Discuss.

What is your budget? Yes.... in SOME cases an SX might be more worthwhile then an Epiphone. But if you have the budget, go for a decent Epi Les Paul.... I would HIGHLY recommend the Les Paul Custom.....

And DarrenCW..... an Epiphone Les Paul Custom is NOT a customized model.... it's just a name they call for their "high-end" range.

And about Epi being crap? Well, I personally like it. It's all a personal thing really. Some might not like it because they are paying such a high price for an average guitar, JUST because it's an Epiphone. I find them well built, of good quality, and if treated well, they can give you lots of return.

Heck, I STILL use my so-called "crappy" LP-100.... Use it as much as my Epi ZW I would say.

I can go for 1.3k to 1.5k..but i think i'll just get an sx custom for Rm 890 and upgrade the pickups..i feel that it's too tedious going down to s'pore to get an epiphone..what pickups do epihpones come with and how much does it cost to upgrade the pickups? cause the pickups on my strat was surprisingly good and had minimal buzz

get ur sx thru sujesh, he'll pick the best one out of the few =)
and prolly can give u a better price than what those uncles in wohfatt can ever offer

his lyn nick is bassraptor i think

Remember...... different pickups go with different woods too...... You're SX's wood quality might be different from an Epiphone, so the same pickup might sound totally different.

And of course...... different Pickups also makes all the difference...... for me, I play lotsa Metal and Hard Rock, so EMG 81/85 actives were a natural fit.

setting the pickup height makes a hell lotsa difference too!

That's true...... speaking of which...... I need to lower my action on my LP-100..... I adjusted it last time, and it just feels uncomfortable now......

Hahaha Herman and Sam.

BTW Check out Sam's new guitar.

It's an Ibanez V-Blade, coming out January 07. WOOOOOOOOOT

so...
SX or epiphone woods are better??

From what i heard and read, many think SX wood is better money for the value of the money..it's practically the same or better than epiphone (according to what i heard..not sure bout this)

why not go test out both? it's not like they are rare anyway.
