An overdrive pedal is just to get a crunchier sound....... NOT to get more sustain.
And Rust, haven't tried an EQ pedal, but tempted to bring my amp in to see if they can mod it for a better FX Loop..... maybe will do that when I swap in 6550 power tubes. |

Yeah... that's the downer. I think the common complaint for DSLs and TSLs is the FX loop...

QUOTE Metallica about "Fade To Black" He just basically used a Modified Marshall and sometimes a Boss ODKirk Hammett: I was still using the black Flying V, but on "Fade To Black" I used the neck pickup on my guitar to get that warm sound. I played through a wha-wha pedal all the way in the "up" position. We doubled the first solo, but it was harder to double the secong solo in the middle because it was slow and there was a lot of space in it. Later I realized that I harmonized it in a weird way in minor thirds, major thirds and fifths. For the extended solo at the end, I wasn't sure what to play. We had been in Denmark for five or six months, and I was getting really homesick. We were also having problems with our management. Since it was a somber song, and we were all bummed out anyway, I thought of very depressing things while I did the solo - and it really helped. I played some arpeggios over the G-A-B prgression, but we widn't double track that solo. When that was finished, I went back and did the clean guitar parts behind the verse. James played an arpeggiated figure while I arpeggiated three-notes chords. We ende up getting a very 'Dire Straits'-type sound. |

Cuz no money buy Fender.Haha,actually I'm more of a humbucker kinda guy, but I love the looks of SSS stratocasters. So actually it's more of a display guitar only lar. If I was to dump 3K on a fender, I'd rather get a Jackson. |
