Which also means they'll sound good direct.
I've found that most distortions expect you to run through a guitar amp with 12" speakers and no tweet, so they don't worry about crackling nastyness above 5kHz. So far, I've found exactly one that doesn't do this ... the Aguilar AGRO. I'm just wondering if there are others out there I should mess around with?
The tone knob on most of them also is not what I want, since they roll off too low ... I don't want mush, I just don't want an electronic crackle coming out on top of my tone. |

The sound I get with that set up is great, not a massive loss of bottom end, and a decent range from overdrive to mad fuzz. I must confess, I'm not a big pedal user, and if we drop the songs from the set, I'll probably drop the pedal too, but it does a good job for me.

Most of my cabs are tweetered and I always use my effects direct

Downside for you is that it does this even when in bypass mode, but if you put one in a loop it would work. Any of the Sansamps might work for you too. |

The aforementioned Blue Berry and HomeBrew Hematoma both have a decent rolloff of high end even without relying on their tone knobs.
