People here really seem to love their Blackstone ODs. I'm thinking of picking one up, but wonder if it's a bit redundant in my setup.
I currently have a black LTD, Direct Drive and OCD. These fulfill my light to medium gain overdrive needs nicely. I also have a Fulltone 69 and Fuzz Factory which fill the bill for the higher gain stuff. I don't really need much more gain than what I have although a Rat or Tone Bender might be somewhere in the future. Oh, and I'm on the list for a Zendrive, Tim and Timmy, but they're all at least four months away.
I love rolling back the volume and tone knobs for different sounds, particularly with the germanium fuzz pedals. How might a Blackstone fit in this setup? Will a Blackstone be redundant? Does it sound much differently than the ODs I've mentioned? I'd love to have a gritty, rich OD that gets some Stones type rhythm with some fat, harmonic rich leads. I'm playing through small amps (Champ 600, Blues Jr., have a Gibson GA-5 on the way) set mostly clean, primarily with a Strat and a P90 SG.
Thanks!
