PapaDave Contributing Member ********* California Wniney Hall Monitor	Mar 15th, 2012 10:16 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Leftymeister knows. I always come back to the venerable Blues Driver. The plus for me is it cleans up extremely well with a quick turn down of your guitar's volume knob; push the volume up and KERRRANNNG. And no, not all "tube screamer" type pedals do this, or do it as well as the BD-2. The Keeley version is icing on the cake, I do fine with my stock one. (Helps to have a sweet tube amp for this, of course)

LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** Buckeye Country, USA Motorcycles, Guitars, and Golf	Mar 15th, 2012 10:51 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I agree with Dave, except the BD-2 is not a tube screamer clone. It's a different circuit. Some OD's sound as if the effect is riding ontop of the dry signal, whereas the BD-2 tends to blend with the signal.

Diogenes232 Contributing Member ***** usa	Mar 15th, 2012 10:38 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The amp you are plugging it into makes all the diff! The pedal you use through a silver face deluxe are completely different than what you might use through a JCM800 What amp ya using?
guitarmoog Contributing Member ******* Belgium I wouldn't say that's excessive	Mar 16th, 2012 02:31 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic +1 on the importance of the amp, but my pedal suggestion would be a Z.Vex Box of Rock, or Distortron. I use these for classic rock sounds through a DRRI, a Vox Night Train, and a Marshall Vintage Modern, and they sound great through all of them.

K4 Contributing Member ********** **** Kentucky	Mar 17th, 2012 12:20 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Just get a Plexi and crank it up. That will nail the tones of the mentioned bands. I agree get an overdrive not a distortion box
Fast Lane Pablo USA	Mar 19th, 2012 10:39 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic A Maxon or Ibanez SD-9. I had my hands on a vintage one once and it screamed "Classic Rock." More hair then it's brother the Tube Screamer. Ibanez just came out with a "new" SD-9 that has some added features. Check it out.

gdw3 Contributing Member ** LA-la-land, CA Insert clever comment here	Mar 21st, 2012 09:31 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic If you are leaning toward the RAT (for, say, Sabbath fuzz), I highly recommend the Keeley modded version. Took mine from basically un-useable to a real tone monster. Does much more than fuzz. A very nice meaty distortion now as well. As far as classic rock in general, yes, overdrive. Stuff like AC/DC and LZ have a surprisingly low amount of distortion in their tones. Put a boost in front of it for heavy-ness.
agaveman howell n.j. usa	Mar 21st, 2012 04:48 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I just picked up a Joyo British Sound for playing classic rock.This pedal does 60s and 70s Marshall to a tee. Best $45 bucks I've spent in a long time

CyberSpy Denton, Texas	Mar 24th, 2012 01:08 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Yeah, I've been confused. I think of Classic Rock as being a genre of radio station, not a genre of music. (This message was last edited by CyberSpy at 01:42 PM, Mar 24th, 2012)

yellowrubberduck Vancouver, Canada	Mar 26th, 2012 01:59 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic MacReverb II, CyberSpy , read my first post. so far i've been getting some good tones from a Crunch Box.
