I use a lot of different drives across my bands.
my ‘base level’ is a slightly gritty tone from the bass soul food or tc spark boost, which is augmented at times by different pedals, all using a mid gainy sound. Sounds big and fat with the bands.
currently those pedals are :
caline orange burst
ehx glove od
hardwire tube od
It’s worth noting that I play in hard rock and metal bands, and in both 3 piece +vox and 4 piece +vox environments
im also intending to audition my new orange getaway driver in situ as and when I get the chance to play outside the boundaries of home 😳 Initial impressions so far are good, but still it remains to be seen (heard) within the mix
