No Paul C Tim, no BK Butler Tube Driver, no Zendrive, no Nobels, nothing from BJFe/Mad Prof...

Seems like something coming from the marketing arm of GuitarCenter...

Nice read though

Yeah nga. No Skreddy fuzzes? Some of the older ones sell for a higher price than klons nowadays. Walang Eternity rin..

They were able to put the Tanabe Dumkudo (a zendrive type pedal) but were not able to put the zendrive mismo.

sa mga 'holy grail' na modern pedals, klon lang yung nandyan. La yung Timmy, Zendrive, Bjfe HBOD, and some other dirt boxes.

oo nga eh, sayang wala yung iba diyan.. like the crunchbox, tubezone, mt-2, demonizer, etc :-( sana ginawa nalang nilang top100 para mas marami lalo :lol:

but personally, sa tingin ko good read siya kasi i was able to discover (at least makita at malaman manlang na may ganun pala kahit di ako bibili hahaha) new pedals :-P


hmmmmm.. feel ko malapit na makapasok diyan ang shredhead haha :wink:

interesting list.  some of the usual suspects are present but there are also those that have yet to prove their worth to be in a list of the "best".

maybe the reason why they didn't include the Zendrive is because the Ethos is already on the list for the D-sounding pedals.  but i wonder why they chose the Tanabe over the original Zendrive.

Compared to the other pedals in the mix? Probably there just because they're easily mod-able.

'huwag tayong lumingon sa ating pinanggalingan' kaya siguro may mga Boss dun. im pretty sure a lot of pedals started from a Boss style platform. IIRC lahat ng may asymmetrical clipping, they owe it to Boss.

Onga eh :lol: nakakapagtaka talaga kung sino bumoto nun :lol:

'huwag tayong lumingon sa ating pinanggalingan' kaya siguro may mga Boss dun.

For me.. history (and maybe even price) shouldn't factor in here. It should be all about the sound. A lot of the more modern pedals are miles ahead of Boss pedals in terms of tone & response (at least in my experience).

Luto yan, in my opinion. Not even a single Lovepedal, Landgraff, etc. It's good that our community can now more or less see through the crappola of rigged lists made by those "experts." As far as Guitar Central is concerned, the Kalikot Audio Grit is #1 (based on the OD shootout held recently)!

Sana makakuha pa yan ng more international exposure through a demo ni burgs or something :-) umuuso na rin yung mga non-us pedals nowadays I think (with BJfe/Mad Professor (Finland ba?), Himmelstrutz (Poland?), Mi Audio (Australia), a couple of British brands like D*A*M and a lot of Canadian ones too like Diamond, Empress, etc). Sana madagdag na rin Pinas diyan :-D Oh, and the Klon is non-US too right? :-D

That list isn't really about sound. It's more about popularity - the mainstream type. That is why it's not surprising to see very few boutique class pedals in the list. That is why not having at least a few models from the best-selling brand of them all would be unthinkable.

I stopped being a fan of these sort of Top X lists long ago because there are always people who think they can come up with a better one, then the next guy will trash that one, and then... on and on... With that said, it's actually much easier to have a consensus on popularity than on tone.

Just read it again... This is funny:

27 Boss Dyna Drive

"This pedal is as much about dynamics as it is drive –helping a moderately crunchy amp tone become highly responsive to your picking attack."

FAMOUS USERS: None that we know of… yet


Why the heck is this here then???  :lol:

+1 I should've taken the KA Grit when someone offered it to me.

I guess since they have "most of the things" there already, they don't really search for better things. But for us here who aren't so lucky, we really take time to make sure that we're getting something worthwhile because there is a cost in money and time when we invest into trying out new things.

I was kind of hoping to see a DOD preamp 250 or an MXR Distortion plus haha sayang wala. But I guess it's true, most of us did start out with Boss pedals hahah I started out with an MT-2 haha. Went back and tried out my DS-1 today and I remembered how much I loved the sound of it before I got all picky with my pedals haha. Cheers to Boss! And thanks for sharing this haha.

seems like a marketing strategy and a popularity contest rather than defining the best overdrive/distortions in the world.

Like most ones said. Yep dami talaga kulang.

San kaya ginawa survey nito? sa Africa? LOL   :lol:
