It's that time again! This time I'm letting everyone know about the distortion I use for my guitar rig. It's pretty basic actually but I use the ProCo Vintage Rat stomp box.
This model has been discontinued, so in a sense I feel lucky. I've tried some of the other models but they all vary and I still like mine the best.
Basically, it has 3 knobs - Distortion, Filter, Volume. Pretty simple I know, but really this is all this pedal needs to sound great!
I usually set my distortion at about 11 o'clock which gives me a light, but crunchy enough sound for most of Proxy Set songs, but sometimes I'll juice it when I'm feeling dangerous or drunk at a gig =o)
The filter is really cool because it sweeps from a very open and bright distortion all the way to a high-cut-low pass sound. Very cool for Queens of the Stone Age guitar sounding stuff.
And the volume- well that's just a volume. BUT, this pedal has tons of gain and can really cut through the mix really well! Try it out, that is, if you can get your hands on one!
Wow, you really keep it real, just like any of us who just want the info like it is, not sugar coated! Keep it coming Mike!
