Hey what pedals you have? I dont have any but I bided on a used BOSS DISTORTION DS-1 GUITAR EFFECTS PEDAL and im plainin to get a cry baby.

i have the boss gt-6.

ummm I'll start with distortions i dont use these all at once i only use about one or two at a time: I have a boss OD-2 Dual Overdrive (thick rich voerdrive run it through a bassman and get a marshall), A Boss DS-1 Distortion( Iuse it for an almost, Boss MT-2 Hyper Metal (awesome for industrial), Danelectro Fab Tone(nutso makes single coils sound thick) and my baby my VIsual SOunds Jekyll Hyde OVerdrive it has two channels and ones got a sweet TS9 sound and the other is like a marshall plexi.
MOdulation: I have an Ibanez PM7 phase modulator, Ibanez PH7 Phaser, Ibanez CF-7 Chorus/FLanger,Visual SOunds Chorus/Echo way sweet and An IBanez Sound tank CHrous(its gives me thta C.C Deville tone), DOD Vibvrothang (kinda a phasey tremolo)
ect: Ibanez DE7 Delay, Boos Me-50 Multin Effect Unit, Earnie Ball Volume, Line 6 POD, Vox Wah, Zoom 505 Delay, Boss EQ

I liek all these pedals, True some of them arent used so mcuh anymore but thats just cuz tone changes and whatnot, but I'd reccomend any of these.

I have a Digitech multi-effects pedal. Sounded great with my small amp, but now that I got a half-stack, the distortion sounds like crap. Thinking about just getting a gain pedal or possibly one made by Boss.

what kind of half stack do you have

i think when using a tube head, you don't need a distortion pedal. all you need would be a delay pedal, a reverb pedal, a chorus pedal, tremolo, etc...

unless its a lo gain head like Sunn, Fender Bassman or a marshall Jtm45

well yeah. but with a mesa dual rectifier, nothing else is needed. lol

Im not into the boogies myself I really like the Masrhall JCM2000 or Anything by Bogner

not into the boogies?!?!?! *gasp* ben uses boogies man. don't let him hear you said that. lol

okay since i got out bided on the pedal so iw ent and bought BOSS SD-1 SUPER OVER DRIVE for 58.50

get Ben a bogner and he'd through his boogie in a dumpster

what kind of half stack do you have

A Marshall Valvestate 100. The pedal makes it sounds crappy. The built-in distortion sounds better than what I'm using.

I have a BOSS ME-33. It's an older pedal but it has some great sounds on it. I would like a newer one but money's kind of tight right now.

i wish the distorion on my amp was good.

I some times use a Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Pedal for my Bass, but I usually play clean.

muse uses bass distortion, it sounds cool. ;D

I have a marshall AVT150 with a fat distortion but a DS_1 helps out my strat.

I have a Boss Metal Zone (distortion) pedal. It sounds really nice. At least, I think so.

I'd like to get just a plain distortion pedal. That would really help me out.

Ohh I actually know what that is! I like the distortion sound...it's really neat.

skillet uses it alot in their music. I have some good distortion, but not alot of it.

i love skillet's distortion. ;D

Kevin used a Rat everyone should own a rat

if i had an electric [guitar] I would get a rat.

what's a rat? ???

it's a small furry creature, related to the mouse but has a longer tail and it grows to a larger size. ;)

I'd love to have the distortion that Skillet has. their's is awsome.

you hurt my pwecious wittle feewings. *runs into corner and cries*

I'd love to have the distortion that Skillet has. their's is awsome.

yeah, me too. especially on the invincible album. i try to get that sound, but i can't.

a rat is made by proco second best distortion ever made

where can you find them?

where can you find them?

Your local guitar center/dealer might/would/should have them [Proco's Rat] in stock.

do you know about how much they are? I love to get one.

go to amazon.com or musican's friend.com and search for it. That would give you an idea. But those sites usually never sell something for the retail price.

I got a Zoom GFX-8, Digitech Whammy, Digitech Metal Master (I like it better than the Metal Zone, plus it can simulate the Metal Zone), and a Zoom 506 (which is for Bass). But I do have and Mesa Boogie Cab and just got the Triple Recto (I think that's the head Ben uses.) Man that sucker's loud I use the head for Distortion and the GFX-8 for various effects Wah, Delays, flange etc.

If you want the Invincible type distortion, turn down the treble alot, up the mid, and have a decent amount of Bass. I not exactly sure if that's true but just listening to Invincible that's what it sounds like. I'll have ta try it out for myself to double check.

sounds awsome. I wish I had the money to get some good pedals and some good amps. i'd love to get some.

some of the good single stomp boxes are expensive. there's this one boss delay pedal i want and it's around 150 bucks.

ouch. i wish i had about like ten thousand bucks just to spend on equipment.

i went through my musicians friend catalog the other day and calulated how much it would be if i got all the things i wanted in there. it turned out to be something like 6,410 dollars. so yeah, ten thousand dollars would be ideal i think.

yeah. if only. lol. I would get some good effects pedals, some really good amps, and a really nice Gibson Les Paul Special electric guitar. and maybe a nice five string bass.

any other good pedals out there?

all you really need is a good tube amp. that and delay.

i want a tube amp so bad. ever sence the last skillet concert i went to i've wanted a tube amp.

hey, i was wondering, does anybody know what kind of distortion pedals kevin used for the invincible album? like for the prechorus to 'best kept secret'. it doesn't sound like any distortion i can get.

i'm not sure. i'd like to know too. the distortion he used was awesome.

and in the 'eating me away'. the distortion in that song rocks my sox.

yeah. i love all of skillets distortion.

Have any of you heard the distortion on Toby Mac's new CD? that distortion is some of the best that I've heard (aside from skillet that is lol)

I was looking at a rat pedal last night on www.musiciansfriend.com/ and those things are the least expensive in the world.

Does anyone know what brand pedals Skillet uses, or what effects they use most often??

from what i've heard they use Rat pedals for distortion.

Aw man. I went to a Micheal Tait concert the other night and the distortion that the guitarists used was so wicked. he rocked.

I recently bought a "Death Metal" distortion pedal. I really like it.

i have a digitech grunge distortion, boss sd-1 super overdrive, and im going to soon get either a boss chorus or a digitech multi chorus

i like the grunge one. i tried out a bunch when i was getting mine.

I just got a XMM DigiTech Metal Master Distortion/Overdrive pedal. it sounds awesome!!

i also have a Boss ME-33 pedal. it has soooo many different sounds on it. but i've had it for almost a year. it's not brand new but it still sounds good.

i like the grunge one. i tried out a bunch when i was getting mine.
yeah the grunge has a good tone

grunge ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah with the grunge i can get a really good tone with my blues junior amp

Fender Blues Junior

man, the store i bought my metal one from frickin ripped me off. the battery dies every time you unplug it. i'm hoping my teacher can get me a deal though, since i take lessons there. grr. i was gonna buy the grunge pedal from them...but i think i changed my mind. :x

look at www.musiciansfriend.com they have good deals. or look on ebay. that's where i got my distortion pedal.

that sounds pretty cool

sweet....i have the boss SD-1 super overdrive....boss rules

i have three pedals momentarily but i'm gonna sell one of them to someone.

Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Digitech Digital Delay
Digitech Death Metal (selling)

I don't use any pedals at the moment, but I'll probably get some soon . Iv started playing for my church. All I have as far as amps is a Johnston Stage 50 ( broken) and a borrowed Peavy Rage 158 ( not that great) so I'm gonna try to get the funds for a Carvin MTS 3212 then maybe a chorus, delay, and flange effects and just a footswitch to switch between clean and distorted

the pedals i currently own are the boss sd-1 super overdrive, digitech grunge distortion, and digitech multi chorus. the only pedal i really use tho is the boss overdrive cuz my amp has like everything else. the amp i own is a fender dyna-touch deluxe 900 combo amp. it's an amazing amp

niceness. right now i only have a DigiTech Metal Master distortion, a Boss SD-2 Overdrive, and a Boss ME-33 Multi-effects (which kinda sucks) i'd like to get some chorus, reverb, delay, and modulation pedals but right now money's gotten tight.
