Question:
which companies are good? and why?
anyone know of a good tude sounding high gain distortion pedal?
can anyone tell me why there aren't any good music shops in my area? (actually there are several good ones, but they sell very little guitar stuff...)
Answer:
This should be in the effects forum. But if you want high gain overdrive with a built in preamp, check out the Mesa Boogie BottleRocket or V-Twin.

(Assuming that you're of legal age to go in.)
Answer:
ok, recomend a pedal. give me a list of ones that would suit this purposem, i'll check them out. i's getting a crate sx200c (don't try and stop me, i know it's not tube, but i have my reasons.) i basically need a pedal that can get a good hard rock tone out of this amp. 'ill be running my electric clean for p&w stuff, but i when i mess around i play a lot of hard rock. (pillar, subseven, skillet every once in a while...you get the picture.) so basically i need a pedal that will sound pretty good on a SS amp.

Answer:
i'm good friends with one of the store owners here, i'm starting to wonder if he sell pedals or not, i mean i've never seen any ads for them or any on display, so i'll wait and see...

Boss Flanger
Thats Noah Hensons set up. Er, it was at the beginng of WDWGFH.
Might wanna throw in a Metal distortion for the sound you want...and theres really no NEED for two delays.
Answer:
uh, noah uses his tube distort, last i heard neways. yeah, i've looked as boss pedals, www.worldmusicsupply.com has some pretty good deals on the too.
Answer:
so a boss metal zone mt2 would probably suit my needs then. do i have to but a power supply seperate?
Answer:
I use a Rocktron Silver Dragon which has a 12AX tube in it. It also has a solid state distortion on top of the tube. It is very versatile and 1/2 the cost of most tube distortion boxes. You can see them on Musicians Friends web site. The reviews at Harmony Central is on of the main reasons I decided to go with it.
