Topic: New Pedal Day

I bought a used Boss Super Overdrive for $35.  It's pretty cool.

Bought specifically for the work I'm still doing for Santa Monica, which was I think one of the April Chordie Featured Songs of the Month.

I'm using it with an acoustic guitar - which sounds REALLY cool.

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

Re: New Pedal Day

Congrats, Zurf ... that's an amazing deal on a really good piece of hardware. Running an acoustic with some effects produces a lot of unique / interesting sounds, although controlling feedback can be a challenge at times. Have fun with it, man!

Re: New Pedal Day

The key to using an OD or DIST. with the acoustic is to get a sound hole plug.  I sent Z the links to it and a little advice on how to work some adjustments for getting light to max OD while adjusting the level control to balance it with the amp.  an just a thought for new pedal geeks big_smile  OD and Dist are only cousins.  Fundamentally the same principal but very different responses.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVGgrmL1-hg

and watch the knob settings on this one with the SD1 and the  DS1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P5Ai2hHk_U

and just for a lot of fun  I used to take a 12 string shallow bowl Ovation into the test room and plug into a marshal stack on the dirty channel! !!!! AWESOME!!!
