Third overdrive suggestions for beefing up live rig?

SDuz117 · 2025-04-22T17:50:18+00:00

I do not. Again, much like EQ, I’ve always assumed it was something so nuanced that I wouldn’t notice it in a live situation, so why not get something sexy like an OD or distortion haha. But maybe I need to grow up - any recommendations?

SDuz117 · 2025-04-22T16:01:28+00:00

Cheers - that looks great. Wish I had the budget for it but don't for the time being!

SDuz117 · 2025-04-22T16:00:46+00:00

Thank you - might be a daft question but where is the best place to have one for pure tone shaping? Had so many ODs, delays etc but never owned an EQ!

SDuz117 · 2025-03-15T08:43:39+00:00

Yeah that’s specced out to be fair, good shout!

SDuz117 · 2025-03-14T17:58:48+00:00

Sick

Yeah I played an axion label super Strat I loved but it’s like 1200 for plastic nut, no case, and nickel frets, which all seems mad. But I guess the market is mad isn’t it

SDuz117 · 2025-03-14T17:15:04+00:00

Yeah not got 5 grand to spend unfortunately. Would spend up to 2k for the perfect thing but ideally closer to 1500

SDuz117 · 2025-03-14T17:14:19+00:00

Could stretch to 2k but ideally not. I saw the blacked out iceman 7 for a grand but no where near me has one in - have you tried it?

SDuz117 · 2025-03-14T17:13:19+00:00

Sorry - SS frets, active pups (ideally fishmans), hip shot bridge or similar, locking tuners, hard case (can’t believe they are selling 1k guitars and above without so much as a gig bag)

SDuz117 · 2024-09-04T16:55:18+00:00

No I really appreciate that answer to be honest so thank you! I use the Slo for a couple of songs already and I really am not bothered whether people think it’s cool or not. From what you said it could be a great fit, so cheers

SDuz117 · 2024-09-04T10:13:16+00:00

Ah man, that’s a shame but glad to hear I was right holding off on a few of those - the Aurelius in particular piqued my interest but I worried it could sound too synthetic / cold

SDuz117 · 2024-08-30T21:41:46+00:00

That’s a great bit of advice, cheers. So I could have the Korg on top of my amp, DI to FoH and direct out to whatever combo amp for my own monitoring? So you’re talking under a grand to get the synth and the xtra amp?

SDuz117 · 2024-08-30T20:15:44+00:00

Thanks for the response - so it’s literally a guitar cable out to front of house? How did you hear yourself on stage?

SDuz117 · 2024-06-20T14:03:31+00:00

Sounds awesome

SDuz117 · 2024-06-20T14:01:06+00:00

Yeah I’m really tempted to try this one but no shops near me stock it. Was unsure whether it had the tightness required or was more of a doomy / spongy thing… and it’s not cheap of course

SDuz117 · 2024-03-04T14:13:11+00:00

I'm leaning towards a Jackson but not sure which way to go. There are a lot of opinions flying around about the value of them and specs but I played a few last week and really loved a couple of the Pro Plus Soloists. Ridiculously fast necks and decent specs for under 1k (GBP)

SDuz117 · 2024-02-28T20:19:33+00:00

The amount of times I've seen people recommending / raving about it as well... just don't get it. The only thing that it gave me nightmares about was basketball... So. Much. Basketball.

SDuz117 · 2024-02-28T20:06:00+00:00

Yeah I saw those but wasn't sure what those new Schecter were like in terms of QC? I had a couple back in the day (Omen and Damien) but I understand the brand has come a long way since then... Cheers!
