| | |  distortion predicament
Sign in to disble this ad
So...I'm finding I love the screamin guitarish topend distortion I get out of a tubescreamer but now need to preserve more of the lows....but!! I cant stand the sound of the bass distortions and bass screamers, they just sound like lame fuzzes against a guitar distortion :/ how can I use a guitar tubescreamer AND preserve lows or is there a pedal that keeps the guitar tonal distinction while including a bass boost? |

| | | | Care to explain? I meant maintaining low end while the distortion is engaged. |

| | | | Set it on a+b mix, connect the distortion in the a loop and leave the b loop unused, now you have a clean blend.

You can mix in some clean low end without adding clean highs on top of your distorted highs. |

Using a tube-emulation with a distortion pedal makes a totally awesome combination. I own a hartke vxl bass attack preamp pedal and a digitech bass driver and I was able to get a pretty killer sound with this combination. |
