Ok, heres my dilema. I am in a three peice rock band playing guitar and singing. I find that the sound fills out when i use a slight stereo delay between my Egnater TOL 50 and my Fender Twin Amp. the tones work nicely together.
I run primary to the Fender and use its effects loop for my pefal board which includes my line 6 echo park, where i split the right side to my Egg.. The left runs back to the Fender.
The problem is i want a better distorted sound. A very clean very pristine sound yet can provide enough ummff to get hte job done.. . The distortion on the Fender Twin is amazing though... My thoughts fall to Kranks New distiortion pedal or the Mesa V-Twin or should i just stick with the fenders.. cause it is nice.

I play a mix of rock/worship/punk strange i know but thems the bricks. The guitar i use is A PRS Custom 22 if that helps.
Thanks
 
This is a tough call for someone else to get in on. I went through something similar about a year ago. I picked up an MXR Dime Distortion Pedal from MF and it solved my troubles (not that I use alot of distortion anyway) I don't even turn the "distortion" part on, the pedal added enough tone for the sound that I wanted. I use the rest for "solo" type stuff with the gain around 2 because it has a nice sustain. If you have a local shop handy, see if they have a few pedals for you to play around with, take some of your current gear down and test a few out, or order something and if you don't like it send it back.
 
I don't get it. If the Fender distortion is amazing, then why not continue with that?
 
Every body has there own taste in distorted guitar sound, I know that if it were me, I would have to hear it first. It's like asking somebody what is the best color. :rolleyes:
 
Ditto Sirnothingness.....I'm not sure I understand the question. Either of those amps should give you everything from clean through very dirty, although not all the way into death-metal land.

The Fender in particular is famous for its just just-past-the-edge-of-saturation sound, giving a nice crunch.
 
I'd get a second amp (like a 50-watt combo) and then use an A-B-Y box to split your signal between the two of them.

By doing that, the fat sound and tonal possibilities would be endless. You could have clean and distorted at the same time, or effected and non-effected tone. Just remember to angle the amps slightly left/right away from eachother. A friend of mine who plays in a Clapton/Cream cover band does this and it makes his 3-piece bar-band sound like a Cream concert in a friggin' stadium!
 
Well i guess what i'm asking is if anyone has come in contact with these two pedals and what their thoughts were...
 
i sometimes play with 2 amps, my vox and a friend's marshall. the marshall is solid-state, so i keep that on clean, and have the vox set to a nice crunchy, not quite clean sound, and the 2 work really well together. this would probably make the stereo delay even nicer, as the amps are both colouring the sound very differently.
