[24242009]

do you still use a distortion pedal? or just the foot switch of your amp?

[toybitz]

i still use a pedal

[Allan_Reamillo]

Yes I still use one. Minsan kasi bitin ako sa OD ng amp.

[calculon]

the distortion pedal is the guitarists best friend

[Musikerochan]

moar dirt pedals of course. for variety.

[ussfdoc]

I don't use a distortion pedal. Sometimes I use a big muff to overdrive my amp a bit more, but for me, the best distorted sound comes from those tubes being overdriven to the max. Distortion pedals sound "artificial" to me.

Be well,

Doc

[arkeetar]

Yes I am 

[screamingguitars]

not anymore, i'm pretty well contented with the drive in my amp.

kung makakakuha ako ng ok na amp, magiging ganyan na rin ako, sa ngayon kailangan pedal based muna

ganyan din ako. i cant afford good tube amp. sa church naman namin, personal SS amp ko din gamit ko kaya kailangan talaga ng distortion pedal.

as of today, I have 4 dirt pedals on my board. 3 of which are distortion pedals. depende sa song and tugtugan para di na tweek ng tweek on stage.

[diaboliche]

I still use a distortion pedal together with my multi-effects. 

[wiccan8888]

of course, yes.

[boogsy]

I'm starting to like fuzzes a bit more. Right now I use an overdrive pedal, unfortunately I can't crank my amp without pissing off my neighbors. Or my bandmates for that matter.

[dakuykoy]

Same with arkeetar, I still use a distortion or overdrive pedal.. maybe till I get a good amp to bring in gigs.. either a mosfet or tube emulation equipped one will do.

but maybe I'd save up for a new car first.. 

[shodawmoon]

yes, kailangan ng variety, i have 2 distinct distortion peds.

[wh1t33rick]

I am a user.  

but maybe I'd save up for a new car first.. 

sir road trip tayo ha...pasabi ka lang ha..

[cumbersome]

Unless someone owns a Mesa or a Bugera, and the means to bring it to gigs, distortion pedals will remains quite useful on any board.

[splice]

If the amp at the gig spot is nice, I don't use any pedal (guitar plugged straight to the amp), except for Wah in some cases. Tonal varieties can be done through the tone and volume knobs.

If the amp at the gig or practice spot is not that good (or junk), that's the time I use my trusty and "flexible" Behringer GDI21, a cheap amp modeler that pretty much satisfies my needs. That's all I need 

[boogsy]

Are there any venues that actually have tube amps?

[.bong.]

Distortion pedal (BritMod) user here, bitin pa nga minsan kaya boost pa ng OD 

[daryl090804]

Are there any venues that actually have tube amps?

i heard of one before in malate, i think, that a friend of mine told me. they had a boogie dual rec with a matching 4x12 cabinet and a marshall jcm800 with i dunno what cabinet. dunno if the bar's still open though.

[dantuts]

for me nope.. OD pedal lang..

if i want more gain, i use the amps gain channel with my OD pedal

[ejecruz]

yep, DS-1

For gigging musicians, i think it is important to have an extra distortion or an overdrive pedal just to be prepared to whatever set up your going to have at whatever venue you'll be playing in a gig.
