I got a call to do a few country gigs with a friend a while back. He found out I played country when I was sitting in with his rock/blues band and we got a request for country and did a Haggard song. He got some gigs where they wanted mostly country, so he called me. We did a variety of stuff, from old to current stuff (I even got to play pedal steel on about half dozen songs, that was fun).
I used my SFDR. The same amp I use when I do blues and rock gigs. But I got it as it has THE best twang country sound for me.
I have a Kingsley Jester and an Angry Charlie right now and various compressors. The DR is a great pedal platform, and with pedals, it covered everything I needed it to cover. There are SO many good pedals out there these days, you can really cover a lot of ground with just a couple. A lot of current country is "classic rock" type tones, and with a pedal and a DR, I can nail it close enough and easy enough.
