good dirt pedals with a dry blend?

[The Ethanator]

im planning on overhauling my pedalboard, and a big part of what i use is dirt. mainly overdrive and fuzz, not really any over-the-top lead guitar-style metal distortion. currently i have an ibanez pd7 and an ehx bass big muff. my end plan will be as follows:
fuzz>overdrive with blend>fuzz with blend
with other pedals in between, of course
for the first fuzz, im looking at a devi ever cherry pop or hyperion, but likely the hyperion. as far as overdrive is concerned, id like to be able to get both that metal 'crunch' (not crazy distortion, think like a moderately driven sansamp) as well as a smooth overdrive that can be combined with fuzz on either end for a good stoner/doom sound (since thats what i mainly use fuzz for). i was previously looking at a sansamp, but i heard tones similar to what i want out of a boss odb-3, which is only half the price. possibly a behringer bdi21, which has the same controls as a sansamp for only $35. as far as FUZZ pedals go, however, it looks like im fairly limited. my bbm has a dry mode, but im looking for something that allows me to add the dry tone to my signal gradually, rather than controling the fuzz on top of my dry tone. the wren 'n cuff pickle pie b has exactly what im looking for, but its a little more than im looking to spend on a dirt pedal. are there any other fuzz pedals with a dry blend available? i play alot of stoner/doom with my fuzz, and i find that blending overdrive with fuzz is the best way to get my prefered tones

might be more than you want to invest, but i'm sick in love with my Wounded Paw Attack Goat/Way Huge Pork Loin combination.

i wasnt exactly a huge fan of the pork loin. i havent listened to grgryx's review of the attack goat fuzz yet though, i may have to check that out. my big thing is having a fuzz that allows me to add my dry signal to the fuzz, rather than adding fuzz to my dry signal like the bbm. does anybody have expirience with the supercollider fuzz in stoner/doom music? i kinda like the sounds ive heard out of it, unfortunately i have yet to find a price (myspace is blocked on my computer) or a used one

A supercollider does not have a clean blend. However with the ability to add the lows and mids back in you essentially get the same effect. It can hold the full lows of my octaver solo'd on -1. The supercollider sounds great and is one of my favorite pedals. I want to say it is in the ballpark of ~ $150.

I second the Pork Loin. At first it can be combersome, but when you find a sound it will be amazing. If you didn't like it, did you take time to adjust the three knobs inside the pedal? Some of the knobs inside drastically alter the way the pedal sounds.

If you have an LS-2, every pedal has a clean blend...

[wizay]

The Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive comes to mind

[The Ethanator]

i know the supercollider doesnt have a clean blend, but i like its tone so im considering it as my first fuzz, which will not need a blend option since it will be first in my chain

If you like that Muff sound it's a very nice pedal, lots of useful sounds from the tone knob, blend works really well too. I ended up trading mine because I wanted a gated fuzz but I miss it.

If you decide it's not for you, you probably won't lose too much selling it on. There aren't too many of them around and ordering a new one (in my experience) takes a while.

Sparkle Drive - Overdrive
T-Rex Bass Juice - Overdrive to Fuzz to Completely out of control Fuzz from hell

On a budget, the Bass Big Muff Pi has a dry blend setting. Also, the bass boost setting is sweet.

It's not a variable blend but it does a mighty fine job of keeping the clean signal, at least on the settings I use.

Pretty good list here:

Distortion/Overdrive pedals with blendable wet/dry clean and dirty signal?

I'm a noob when it comes to blending... what does the variable blend mean?

[moose23]

Variable blend is the ability to blend as much clean/dirty as you want using a pot. The bass big muff has a set amount of blend which can't be varied.

So the Boss Line Selector has a variable blend then? That is what I use to blend my Black Russian Big Muff with clean. Been considering getting a Bass Big Muff, but it looks like the LS-2 blends better?

Well better is subjective but I'd stick with what you have if you're happy with it, you defo have more flexibility with what you have.

Happy indeed, although the Russian Muff and the LS-2 does take up a lot of space...
