If you are out on a gig and you could only use three pedals, an amp and a guitar; what three pedals you must have. Given the Guitar is an SG. The amp has reverb and sure a nice clean and OD channel.
Mine would be a Maxon OD808 for boost and additional drive, an MXR Carbon Copy. You never can go wrong with a little delay. Finally, a TC Electronics Poly-tuner. Hey, six string at a time in a loud club during the drum solo.
I have this thing about/ against most pedals. Most times I want as little as possible between the guitar and the amp. I do keep the Crybaby on most days. The Tube Screamer is there for when I'm running the clean channel and want a sudden punch.
Other than that it's usually just the amp footswitch that gets most of the attention.
Got this as a teenager in the late '90s as a birthday present to myself. I had no idea what it was at the time and only snagged it because it was $40 and said "tube" and "blue" on it. 2018 me thinks '98 me done pretty good.
If there's a #2 and #3, I guess my modded BOSS CS3 and just about any Big Muff.
Well, if the amp has a good clean and a good dirty channel and a good reverb,
I would say a tuner, a modulator and a delay (the last 2 in the amps effects loop).
If the amplifier has only a good clean channel then a tuner, a 2 sided dirt pedal and
a delay that has some modulation included (A Source Audio Nemesis comes to mind).
Fulldrive 2 - The Blue one H20 V3 - Again, the blue one, Truetone delay - chorus.
Still have a H20 V2 and use them both, however,
the V3 is a significant improvement over the V3
The runner ups, not in any particular order are:
TC Electronic Helix - not much but adds some nice spice when needed
TC Electronic Polytune
MXR 10 band eq
Danelectro green eq - its old! and I think it cost $20.00 for it new! and it still works great!
Used to have a solid state Fender Princeton 65 ss amp and used
this to help tame the highs and bring out some mids.
Bought this in a time of little money and hardships. This was a really super SS by Fender. It was loud and clean with a crummy speaker and it took pedals really well. Wish I still had this one.
Has any one else used this amp? Is it as good as I remember it?
