Pedal Stacking With The Boss Combo Drive
Музыка
I stack other pedals with the Boss Combo Drive to get some tones I really enjoyed. Not a demo of the Combo Drive by itself, there are loads of those. This is how I used it when I borrowed it and liked it enough to bid on one myself.
Designed so that guitarists could achieve tones reminiscent of the legendary Vox AC30 amp. I enjoyed this pedal for the way it stacked with my other overdrives, including my Barber Small Fry Burn unit and a Ceriatone Centura.

Due to a scheduling error I had to re-upload this video. I apologise if you received two notifications. My guess is that nobody will have done, which is why I've posted twice. Too complicated to bother explaining why! Cheers, Ben.
I freaking love this pedal. It's been on my board for years. With a Fender amp, it just rocks. You gotta keep it at low gain for the best tones, but at its highest gain, it is basically a fuzz! Definitely agree about it being a sleeper pedal. It really does nail the AC30 tone at low gain. Much more than most amp in a box pedals that try to do that sound.

Sorry I missed this comment. It's a great pedal and I'd still be tempted to bag one if it came up at a good price. Those splashy but mid heavy rhythm tones were ace.
Lovely sounds, Ben. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Larry! It's a good sound this one. It took a bit of getting in to with my rig, but had a real nice character. Cheers, Ben.

Thanks man! Yes, well spotted! They're useful at a gig when someone comes and asks for a card, I can just hand them the pick I already have in my hand. Better than a branded shirt in that respect, especially in winter.
I enjoyed the video editing on this one. Well done!

Killer pedal! Not sure if I preferred this or the Stack though.
Its my favorite pedal on my board... i bought it for $40 on Fakebook..and thought I'd give it a shot... it's my always on pedal.. like people use a Klon ... it makes everything sound better 😌
Can you please tell me which pedal sound great to do a solo guitar on blues rock type songs the Boss combo drive or the boss OD3?

Hi, I'm afraid I haven't tried the OD3 in order to make a comparison. If your amp is capable of some gain by itself, then out of the two choices the OD3 is more suitable as a boost for an already driven amp. The Combo Drive is an amp in a box and is really designed to change a clean-ish channel in to a Vox type gain that you could then stack another pedal in to. Hope that helps in some way. Ben

i wanna like this pedal so bad but the high gain on its own is just too nasal and thin

Yeh, the high gain was the worst bit about it for sure. Definitely better using it somewhere in the lower region of the gain control and hitting it with some other kind of drive like you would the real amp. I'll be honest and say I wasn't that impressed when I 1st tried it, but it grew on me. Ben
