Need the right stomp for Bad Cat Cub 15R

[johngalt2004]

I love my Bad Cat Cub 15R 2X10. But it does not get dirty so well.

I hate stomps I hate their guts. I hate worrying about batteries, remembering to unplug it each time so I don't wear out the battery, added noise and hassle. I hate having four knobs to tweak and remember where I liked it. I hate stomps.

What ONE stomp should I get to add plenty of dirt for my Cub at bedroom levels?

What is the "distortion stomp for the guy who hates stomps"?

I like my Blackstone OD pedal. I love the sound of it and it has two channels. It does take some tweaking and futzing to set it up bu once it is set you're pretty much done. Especially if you use the same guitar with your Bad Cat. Here's why. The pots are flush with the top of the pedal box and have a screwdriver slot in them. They are near impossible to change once you set them but can use a guitar pick edge on the fly if you had to. There are a coule tweaks inside the pedal if you want to fine tune it. I did some inside tweaks, set the pots on the face of the pedal and have not touched it at all in two years. I may have altered the output level on the higher gain channel once but....that's it. It has a very tube like OD sound imo.

+1 I love the Blackstone OD pedal as well.

I'd say OCD too! Also get an 18v adapter for it - saves on batteries and sounds better at 18v.

for what kind of tones?

KLON Centaur first, Fulltone OCD or ZVex Super Hard On next. You can't go wrong with any of these. Only the KLON is on my board now though.

I've had many Bad Cat's, had the dealership 4 years ago, and the Cub IIR did ok for me. Yours with 2 x 10's is much better idea, I had 1 x 12". I didn't have enough clean headroom without miking it to get over strong drummer, so I sold it.
