Subtle warm drive pedal
Have become increasingly comfortable with using a drive pedal, particularly with my Gretsch.
At the moment I have a catlinbread tweed voiced pedal 5f6.
I'm keen to explore one or two more options.
Definitely not high gain territory more just some colour and harmonic depth.
Any suggestions of something that would play well with filtertrons, JM/jag single coils and fender circuits +/- vox ac15 ?

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
Probably a bit too low rent for you but the Joyo Sweet Baby is a lovely OD for this kinda thing, and cheap as! https://www.guitarstuff.co.nz/pedals.html

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
I use a TC Cinders for this sort of thing into a Blackface. Sounds good with Strat and PAFs, dunno bout Filtertons. Stacks well. Doesnt add bass tho, if thats what you mean by warm. Its neutral, just sounds like your amp, but with overdrive

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
I’ve got something you might want to try- a Nobels ODR-1. They’re really rather nice, and not the typical thing. Plus it’s bright green.

Consider Reg's tweedmanium, his take on the les luis. I have a Mk1 and like it a lot.

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
This is what the sweet baby is a clone of, the focus control is a gem IMHO.

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
I still have one of these... maybe even ex-Jeremy? It doesn't add much, if any, colour though. Nice, subtle, and dynamic (touch sensitive?) drive.StrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 7:23 amThanks,jeremyb wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 7:21 am Probably a bit too low rent for you but the Joyo Sweet Baby is a lovely OD for this kinda thing, and cheap as! https://www.guitarstuff.co.nz/pedals.html

You could try a Bronson? Happy to send one up for you to play with, no obligationStrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 7:14 am Have become increasingly comfortable with using a drive pedal, particularly with my Gretsch.

My current favourite though is this Jan Ray clone: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004028109388.html I have it set pretty subtle and it just makes my tone betterererer.

Re: Subtle warm drive pedal
Through a Fender amp, I really really like my Klone. At even four times the $80 price, there’s nothing I’ve tried that’s as clear, warm, balanced and articulate. Including my real KTR Klon.
