HA! That was going to be my recommendation. Never met a overdrive circuit I like better than a Red Llama/CA Tubesound. I also usually use a boss Loop Selector, (or the $30 Joyo version) with any drives in a loop that I can use the selector to blend in dry synth so the lows dont go away. Graphic EQ after the drive in that loop is cool too for boosting the harmonics you like, cutting mud.penningtron wrote: Fri May 09, 2025 12:23 pm
EDIT: I remembered I bought a Red Llama clone from FM Kniferide years ago and that’s the best thing I’ve tried yet. I also boosted the treble and completely cut the mids to the amp it’s going into and may have it dialed in now.
Yeah, everything else I tried would flatten out any pulsing/percussive pattern in the synth. The Llama has nearly half a turn of very usable sounds! I do have a EQD Tone Job I could put after for some heavy handed eq. I've never been a big mid scooper for guitar but it's proving to be useful here.Kniferide wrote: Fri May 09, 2025 4:08 pm HA!

Hell yeah. We use a DMM and just the preamp crunching a bit on that is just enough dirt. Also have a boss bass equalizer to bring up the lows on our Rev2 which was magic for that, some patches then we kick it offpenningtron wrote: Fri May 09, 2025 12:23 pm Distortion for synth (think grind-y and metallic results). Every pedal I’ve tried either does nothing cool or goes straight to too much with no sweet spot. Maybe a dry/wet blend is key here?
I think The Screamers just used big muffs but their parts are more monophonic than what I’m trying.
