HIDDEN GEMS: The Blackstar LT Distortion!

Музыка

Hidden Gems: In this series, I'm going to show you pieces of equipment that I think are unsung heroes of the gear world. To qualify for Hidden Gems, the gear needs to be readily available on sites like eBay or Reverb, have a used market value of $100 or less and of course...it has to sound great!

    i absolutely love this pedal. I kind of use it as an always on. For a strat i use gain at 9 o clock, level and tone almost to the fullest and control the gain with the volume knob on my guitar. very low when its rythm and full volume for leads. the isf knob gives me more body to the sound at 5o clock. if i'm playing with a band there's no need for that much body so i can roll it down to the left wich gives me a lighter sound. with a humbucker guitar i can really play metal with the gain knob starting at 2 o clock to 3 oclock. past that there's not much gain difference. and again, i always combine it with my guitar volume knob

    I allay shy away from this pedal because I already have the Blackstar ID260 2X12 combo amp and was thinking it would sound like the distortion already on the amp. But for the price, I'm thinking I might give it a try and just see if pushes the amp over the top a little more?

    Hi do you still have this pedal? I bought it long time ago, I realized if I roll down the LEVEL below 3 o'clock the sound is significantly low which is totally unusable. more than 3 o'clock LEVEL makes it usable. is yours the same? I use 50W Boss Katana amp

    Yes! I would suggest you run the guitar into the auto wah first, then into the distortion. That should give you the best results.

    @@LucasFowler that was fast. I've been playing both Live Versions of Ramble On & Kashmir. Now I can not read music, so I either have to depend on a lesson, or like for these two songs, I've had to watch the video's over & over to catch the important chords then I can generally figure out how to play the fills. Although Jimmy played his wah wah pedal, I could see him step on a pedal & walk away playing a wah wah, so getting an auto is what I need. Is there one you'd suggest? Or can they be one of the older used ones like you demo'd in your two pedal videos that run under $100. Thanks Lucas for your help.

    I have this pedal, is a very good amp distorsion pedal but the british side is too much bassey and not very useful. Also tried boosted with a tube screamer and have very good results!! To be said is a little bit noisy!!! Good pedal for the price beats up most distortion in his price range and more expensive ones
