What’s a good heavy, yet smooth, distortion pedal?
I’m currently using a Little Big Muff, and it’s too crunchy for me – notes are sometimes indistinguishable, and there are no dynamics as far as palm-muting goes.
I also have a Boss DS-1, which has great dynamics but a gritty, hissy tone that remains however I attenuate the tone knob.
I’ve been considering either the MXR GT-OD, the MXR Distortion III, or the Radial Tonebone Classic (a little too pricey for me, though)…
I’m playing through a custom handmade Telecaster (with a high-output Seymour Duncan humbucker, and a Seymour Duncan PAF single-coil neck pickup), into a Fender Jazz Chorus.
My distorted playing style ranges from metal, to punk, to hard rock; my band is an electronic dance band, with industrial elements maybe comparable at times to Ministry or The Faint…
Whaddya think?
The best pedal for very smooth sustain is the HM-2 Heavy Metal by Boss. Big difference compared to the DS-1. I have to admit that I changed my pickups for Seymour Duncan which made a big difference in the cleanness in the sound.
With your setup, this is weird because I often record with my old Roland Jazz Chorus vs. you having a Fender Chorus LOL.
You should get a helluva of a good sound with the HM-2 definitely. Why I know this is because I do lots of studio work with many different types of amps and pedals and what I hear through the recording determines if the pedal is quiet or noisy once recorded.
