I'm not much of a pedal guy, so let me ask the experts...
I'm using a Hamer Artist (Set Lovers) into a Maz Jr w/reverb and a 1x12 EVM-12 cab. I can get a nice, full harmonically rich rhythm sound dialed into the amp, but my moderate overdrive and screaming lead tones are way too brittle.
On my pedalboard, I run the guitar into a Radial power booster set to unity gain -> Maxon CP-101 -> Fulldrive 2 -> OCD v2 -> V-Stack. All pedals are powered by a Pedal Power.
The compressed sound and boosted sound (with the Fulldrive) sound reasonably good, but the crunchy rhythm tone out of the OCD is harsh, shrill and brittle, as is the lead tone from the V-Stack. Even with both tone controls on the OCD and V-Stack nearly off, the tone is STILL harsh.
If I pull the pedals off my board and use them individually between the guitar and amp I get the same results.
What would you guys suggest to get a nice chunky rhythm tone and a Marshally lead tone out of this rig?
