What pedal(s) are you using for dirt?

[Fretlessbaby]

I just love how it sounds, and how simple it is to use makes it even better.

+1000 on the Barbershop OD. Makes me smile everytime I turn it on. Johnk_10 can build you one in a smaller enclosure and it totally kicks major booty!!! Experience talking here.............

I want a John k built guv'nor!! Now that would be a nice dirt to have on my board indeed.

I have two fuzzes, Eau Claire Thunder and Tall Font Russian. If you simply want to wound the audience, use the TFR. As for the ECT, if you want to kill every living thing in the room, accept no substitutes.

I use the B7K for low drive, the Fuzzrocious Demon for heavy OD, and a Darkglass VMT for that nice vintage hairy tone. I also have the SA MWBD, and I use that for a nice synthy dirt to pair with my chorus and POG2 for textures and swells. No matter how full my board is with dirt, I will be buying the SA OFD when it releases.

I love OCD! I think it gets a bad rap around here for low end loss. I get very little but I don't mind. It works for me and sounds like no other dirt. I've almost parted with it twice now and just can't bring myself to do it. It keeps finding it's way back on my board.

I totally agree. I have been thinking about getting a blender pedal to reduce some low end that way, but I don't think it bothers me enough to do it

I've thought the same thing before myself. But I like the sound it gets me. The tone especially. I'm in a three piece so when my guitarist is soloing or leading I lay down the raunch with my OCD and it sounds awesome. I recently got a demon king by fuzzrocious and I stack the two together. Oh momma, talk about sick. They sound sweet together.

I've been really happy with my Aguilar Agro.

 

[q5bass]

Swollen pickle for light fuzz. I have a Soundblox MWBD, but it's not getting much use and needs to go to fund other pedal interests.

 

[Veldar]

A rat on the B3 mother pucker a 60/40 mixed with the clean being 40, with lots of mids for a punch in the guts.

 

[ergbass]

For overdrive i use vt bass, and for distortion the bb bass preamp. Great pedals.

 

[JCooper]

I have tried so many of these, loved many, flipped many.
Cabs can change things so much...finally have a couple cabs I really like, so that part of the equation may have stabilized...
For now the revolving cast is: AMT Bass Crunch (smooth light drive, or good snarl)
VFE Triumvirate (very tweakable 3-band dist.)
DMB Bumble (OD to fuzz, with clean blend)
Vt Bass (more OD w/EQ)
Guv'nor GV-2 (Dist w/EQ-good for high-gain)
Mind you, not all at once, though I do like to experiment with stacking a couple...
I'm definitely 'down the rabbit hole' on this, and I admit it.
I've found that live, so many of the subtleties I thought I heard at lower volumes seem lost, one or two of these at a time seem to work fine at a gig.
Also have a Para driver on the way.......I know...I may need to seek help.

I'm really digging the EBS Metaldrive. It has a cool oldschool grind going on. For more subtle stuff the Xotic Bass BB Preamp is magic.

 

[LawrenceKanter]

My always-on tone is Phat Phuk B into BDPG, both set a unity. For distortion and fuzz, a Wounded Paw Battering Ram, which deserves more love than it gets around here. Especially the fuzz.

I just scored a Rusty Box that I haven't had a chance to play with. Does anyone have experience running a preamp into a preamp?

 

[skulletwhip]

I use a Rat Tail and a Dark Driving.

 

[Reaper Man]

Depending on how subtle/nasty I want it- a combination of Fuzzrocious pedals: munch the muffin for fuzz, rat tail for distortion, dark driving for od.

Combining all three results in a black hole

I run my B7K into my BDPG, sounds great! What is your other preamp youre using?

 

[LawrenceKanter]

Rusty box.

 

[DownFromTheSky]

I run my E.A. Supercollider into my Darkglass BK3, when i solo the bridge pickup i can get a real nice fuzz thats tamed by the BK3.

 

[Adub311]

I just ordered a Swollen Pickle and can't wait to try it out when it gets here.
