I got the Boss ST-2 Power Stack and I think it is freaking excellent for most styles. Back when I was covering songs and was using strictly the clean channel, this pedal gave me a lot of dirt for the heavier songs. It doesn't sound like a tin can either, unlike some Boss distortion pedals... |

@lemoninfluence I'd look at getting some kind of rat, a boss hm-2, a used Jekyll and Hyde or a joyo amp sim. If you can stretch the extra ten buck the barber dirty bomb is pretty solid as well. Go watch some videos and check back with us. If your running a solid state its hard to beat a j+h in my experience.

Kurt Cobaine used a Rat and a DS-1. I read an interview with the Dethklok guy and he primarily uses dirt pedals through a clean Marshall or Fender. Jimi Hendrix used a fuzzface.

What do you thing about a MXR Distortion+ pedal with Laney LX-35R (Solid state)? I don't have enough money to buy a tube amplifier, I play 80's Metal... Thanks!

Can you be more specific on 80s metal? I watched a few videos its pretty good for Randy Rhodes type stuff in some videos I watched. I wouldn't go much heavier then that tbh with that pedal it starts sounding muddy. So budget? Location? Willing to go used?

I use to play Iron Maiden, Randy Rhoads, Manowar, Accept, Helloween and UFO. Ι have a budget of 300 euros, for amp and pedal. My guitar is a Dean Black Bolt.

Id give it a look in person and bring your amp if possible because if you like it in a video it may not be the best pairing for your amp. It should work well for you for what you have listed because it is what many bands of that era did because high gain amps weren't readily availible at that point in history. The bigger question is do you want the normal or script logo. There is a slight difference between the two but I don't know if your willing to pay double for it or not.

I prefer the normal, and it's easier for me to find it! I am always anxious about if I can achieve the tone I like with a solid state amp, because most of the artists I like had Marshall Plexi or JCM800. I'd love to have a Laney Ironheart, but it's very costly and I am not allowed to play loud enough.

You don't need to play it loud. Though I'm not sure how loud is loud for you/your parents/neighbors/whatever (I have my Laney VC30 tube amp at 1 and it sounds good). But yeah, Randy used Distortion +. Are you going to buy both amp and the pedal? Maybe go and try both amp and the pedal at the same time in a music store. Try it through different amps in your price range.

Well, I got mine used for €280. It sounds good IMO. It might not have enough gain for heavier genres and you might need an OD to boost it. I don't have an OD because I'm happy with how it sounds without pedals. And I don't really need that high gain sounds. I would go and try different amps in a music store. Try them with and without distortion pedal and see which of them sounds the best. Quote:
OK, you need a new amp.

I love the British tone many tube amps have, but I'm thinking of solid state because of their reliability and because they are cheap. I will try some amplifiers when I have the change. But many people told me that if I use an OD or a distortion pedal with a solid state amp it will be very stupid.

And I want to thank you for your help. I don't know people who are familiar with the guitar, and I have not anyone to talk about it. Most of the people I know don't listen to Heavy Metal and they can't help me. Thank you very much!

Of course I need a new amp! I love analog circuitry, like tube or solid state amps, and I hate modelling technology, when it comes to sound (except recording) |
