Searching For "That" Tone
I'm satisfied today! A little bit of mixed feelings though... Why? I sold my very 1st pedal - my beloved BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver! The pedal gave me lots of very good sounds when I started dabbling into playing electric guitar. Kinda miss the smooth but powerful yet soothing crunch it gives! Anyway, hope you serve your new master well!
So back to the main story... Why am I satisfied? I bought another OD (overdrive - for non guitarist friends)! It costs me $300, but thanks to dear old Lily of All Music, we've agreed on a more economical way of making the payment! Lily, you go gal!
So what did I buy?

Presenting Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive!
I like the clean drive sounds it produces, kinda like the Blues Driver. Although it still lacks a little in producing that "bluesy" tone, it handles fine for now... At least until the 29th when I get back another BD-2, this time known as "Ghost Driver", modded by Randolf.
Tried it the moment I got home... Power! It creates a lot more fuzz when stacked with the GT2 as compared to the BD-2. I switched my DynaComp to the back of the signal chain, it does solve the "muddy" fuzz problem to a certain extend... Maybe a noise reducer might help... Must try must try!
Anyway, after gear shopping, hung at The Cathay with Bern and Jacob before going home, had a good gear "talking cock" session! Selling behinds for pedals and all! Haha!
Anyway, in reference to the perfect tone...
Boss DD20: $320
TRex Mudhoney: $350
Memoryman: $517
The Perfect tone: ... Priceless...
haha!
Ok, 2 post in a day! Quite contradicting posts I might add... Anyway, here's signing off and leaving you with a song!
Give Me Up Again
by Johnny Lang
Make up your mind take me or leave me I'll be doing fine with or without you I'm wasting my time letting you deceive me The truth is in your eyes but I deny what I see Time and time again I let you get back under my skin I let you break me down again I let you get close way too close But I see through it You gave me that smile and I gave in And you knew that I would Time and time again you pulled me in Just to give me up, give me up again What is a dream if it doesn't come true I believe I'll find love but will it be with you I never would have thought that such a pretty little face could Offer me so much and take all that I had Well I want it back I let you get back under my skin I let you break me down again I let you in close way too close But I see through it You gave me that smile and I gave in And you knew that I would Time and time again you pulled me in Just to give me up, give me up again I let you get back under my skin I let you break me down again I let you in close way too close But I see through it You gave me that smile and I gave in And you knew that I would Time and time again you pulled me in Just to give me up, give me up again Time and time again you pulled me in Just to give me up, give me up, give me up again
