Try those pedals you have on hand and see if you feel that the hot pickup affects them in unusual ways. Is it dark sounding as is?

Is it dark sounding as is?No, this model is similar in tone to a Sho Bud or Fender so it s pretty brilliant sounding.The lowest string is a fifth above the low E of a regular guitar so I guess the super hot pickup just helps give weight to all the trebly notes. I will mess around with it and see. Was thinking clean blend too but that usually doesn t work very well for me in practice. Either way I can borrow some pedals and mess around with a Boss LS2 and get back to you.Word. Lemme know when its time for an Emmons String Machine clone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIktaBxwOXk

Tony, if you were making an overdrive for a steel with a super hot pickup - 17k - would you build it any differently? I m going to try some pedals I already have on it first but I was just kind of thinking about options.
