pedals with budda superdrive

[guitarnut]

hi folks

i've been super happy with the crunch and dirt in my superdrive 18 II and haven't been using dirt pedals at all. i read somewhere though some fella described using a barber direct drive on the rhythm channel. the gain channel is great but it sounds interesting to have another flavour. cook that rhythm channel up and lay some overdrive on it maybe. anyone else using overdrive pedals with a budda? any thoughts?

cheers

I've tried:

Fulldrive 2 Mosfet
Bad Monkey
Fatboost
Box of Rock

The Fulldrive sounded the best, but none of them sounded as good as the drive channel of my SD 30 II. The pedals sounded, well, like pedals. They just didn't have the depth compared to the amp's drive.

However, my Addrock Germanuim fuzz sounds amazing on the clean channel.

interesting - thanks matt - appreciate your thoughts there. i had a gut feeling that was probably the case and thats why i've not bothered - the driuve channel really is great i just wanted to see if anyone used another crunch pedal almost like a third channel. its totally not essential but i guess i kinda feel like buying something : )

oh - i must confess i do have a hbe germania and a monsterpiece npn that both sound stunning on the clean channel too. fuzz it up!

Almost all pedals sound great with the Budda, I've tried OCDs, a blues devil, a Barber DDSS, and a Bad Monkey. They all sound good, the Bad Monkey sounds awesome with a Budda Wah.

I use a Maxon OD820 on the Budda SDs and it sounds incredible. Budda amps don't need pedals, but this pedal in particular - oh man does it sound good. I had a Fulltone Fulldrive II mosfet and an Emma Reezafratzitz hooked up to one with nice results, however, my OD820 was the stopping point. Not need to try anything else.

oh cool - do you use it on the 'clean' channel just to give it a bit of sparkle / crunch?

I use a TIM on my SD30II's clean channel just for that purpose.

I agree on the TIM.. and the OCD v4 sounds really great too!
However, I'm using a Alnico Blue speaker in my Superdrive 18 II..

Xotic BB, Fulltone Fulldrive, Lovepedal Eternity all sound great with my SD30. I tend to use the them on the drive channel the most.

the Bad Monkey sounds awesome with a Budda Wah.

Which one do you run first?

Xotic RC Boost on my SD18 makes cream on the drive channel. Truly, adds polish and even more shimmer.

A COT 50 and an Eternity sound wonderful on the clean channel of my Budda.
