Pasali lng mga sir ng tanong. Ive been playing P&W in a long time and have tried lots of overdrives but not boutique ones.
I got myself a Ibanez TS9. Ive been planning to use this as a light overdrive or boost pedal to my second pedal (light to medium gain). What do you think pedals that will compliment the TS9? Ive been planning for a mayflower or a signa drive (pero mukhang matatagalan pa ) meron kaya kayong alam na alternative na medyo nasa 5k less or much cheaper range pansamantala? Salamat and God bless!
If you're planning to stack TS9 and Signa Drive, tingin ko medyo redundant. hehe. parehas TS based yun eh. tho Signa drive mas ok para sakin kasi mas open sounding, may midboost but unlike the TS9 halata talaga mid mo. Using my Signa Drive for boosting, dameng gain nun at malakas pa..hehe. solve ako talaga dun sa SD. I think it will stay on my board for a long time.hehe. versatile pa with some clipping options, the best is mura sya for a boutique OD.
Mayflower is good, pero mahal! hahaha. Transparent ata sya eh, at mas ok yun na istack sa TS9. Get yourself an OD na transparent, which means straight od without coloring your guitars tone. Basta kapag magstack ka ng OD mas ok kapag 2 different character ng OD.
As of now I'm using Barber LTD Sr as main OD (Low gain transparent OD) stacked with Signa drive. Yung mga dati kong gamit na combo which i really like:
Cmatmods Butah + Signa Drive
Cmatmods Butah + Fulltone Fulldrive
Fulltone Fulldrive + Boss BD2 Keeley modded
TS9 + Boss BD2 keeley modded.
yan bro. ok naman mga combo na yan. satisfied ako, pero syempre nagbabago taste..hehehe.. may parating din pala ako na 3rd od yung Visual Sound Route 808, gagamitin ko for Midboost. kasi medyo bitin midboost ng Signa drive..hehehe.. pati gagamitin ko din yun for low to medium gain boost lang.. pang high gain kasi Signa ko..hehe
Hope it helps.
