I have a Twin Reverb 100w 2x12 combo which of course is super clean(and super LOUD!) and I also have a 1970 Traynor YBA-1 BassMaster 50W head(which is basically a Bassman/JTM45 type of circuit).
They both take pedals quite well and the Traynor gets pretty crunchy when turned up past 12 o'clock on the volume dial but then that's too loud sometimes.
I love that old shool Marshall tone that Joe Bonamassa gets, I realize that he's usually playing through something like a Marshall Silver Jubilee when he gets those sounds.
Is there a pedal that would work great with either one of my amps in order to get close to that fat, midrangey semi-clean, semi-compressed, old school Marshall tone that Bonamassa gets?
Something that would allow this kind of tone at lower volumes too when needed?
I've already got a few good stompboxes but they aren't really getting me to where I want to be, here's what I've got:
Fulltone OCD, PlimSoul and Full-Drive 2, Maxon 0D808, Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, and various Fuzz pedals.
Maybe there's a pedal out there that would get me closer to that tone that I haven't tried yet. Maybe I should concentrate on getting a pedal to go with the Traynor BassMaster, since that's already in the old vintage Marshall ballpark?
Maybe I need to be shopping for an amp rather then a pedal? I'm not sure which way to go on this.
Any opinions would be appreciated here. Thanks in advance!
