Why do guitarists love overdrive pedals?

[@CantAffordToRecord]

Man, if you have £/$100 and no overdrive pedal, a second hand tube screamer will set you up for life. I've been pushing vocals through a tube screamer plugin lately too, they just work!

[@jtguitartv]

Nice! I do love the tube screamer. I've always wanted to try the tube screamer mini.

Took a nose dive into the OD pool whilst researching which one to add to my BOSS SD-1 the other day. Came out with a Hudson Sidecar. It's awesome, check it out if you get the chance! I want to check out the Friedman as well. Enjoying your videos 👍

[@jtguitartv]

Thanks mate, I've heard only good things about the Hudson pedals but haven't tried one yet. Thanks for the recommendation. The Friedman is really great! If I didn't have the HX Stomp which can do a similar thing, I'd get one. Thanks for watching. :D

They’re awesome

[@jtguitartv]

Agreed!

I have the original Marshall Guvnor I use with my Hughes & Kettner Statesman. Although I originally bought it to make a Carlsbro Rebel amp sound much better

[@jtguitartv]

Nice! The guv'nor is an awesome pedal. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Furtheronmusic]

@@jtguitartv honestly I don't b use it perhaps as much as I could. Made me think I should experiment more with it again.

[@jtguitartv]

Yeah, it's a great pedal! One thing you could try if you haven't already is using it as a preamps. You can go out of the Guv'nor and straight into the FX loop of an amp, bypassing the amps preamp. That can sound pretty cool. Also, the Guv'nor has an FX loop of it own which activated any effects in that loop at the same time. Lots of fun to be had! :D
