I really like the EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi on the bass side (with Stickup). Can do alot with that pedal. That is what I use most of the time. Have no favourite on the melody side yet.

I used to achieve that in my bass days w/ a Big Muff BEFORE a Mu-Tron III. Totally uncontrolable. Our guitarist would ask for it by saying, "get that
'make our ears bleed' sound"...
Can't get that with the POD.

I have a Two Notes Le Lead pedal on the way. It flew under the radar on eBay, so I was able to pick it up for a smoking deal. I've been wanting to try this pedal for a while now (with Stick and my guitar), so I'll post back here later with some initial impressions after I'm able to play with it for a while.

Recently I was trying the Boss Dyna-drive DN-2
which is quite good and unique in a way-more dynamic playing=more distortion

I'm thinking about the Kingsley overdrive pedals - valve goodness. Perhaps the Minstrel or Page. Simon is very helpful and immediately understood the issue of "naturally compressed dynamics" of tapping. For articulation his suggestion was a modest overdrive, rather than a highly saturated drive which adds further compression.

Aesthetics ar always in the eye of the beholder, especially when you have a new pedal.

I recently purchased the Hologram Dream Sequence. I bought it for the time and subdivision rhythmic effects, but the overdrive is a ripper and clearly isn't going to be the same as anything else out there.

Another option...

Youtube won't go straight in using youtube2. Problem with Au orientation of urls? Aaah, why they can't leave it alone. "I know engineers, they love to change things"

Post Re: Best distortion sounds on The Stick
Well, I learned something firsthand after some experimentation that many folks have talked about regarding the Stick and distortion: high gain is NOT your friend. Crosstalk even happens with what I consider to be sort of "mid-gain" territory (from a guitar perspective). :evil:

From now on I probably won't be doing anything beyond overdrive for my melody side when I want distortion. The high gain stuff will have to stick (perhapspun intended) to my electric guitars.

Sidenote: I don't think the extra gain really adds to the perceived aggression of the tone of the melody side like it does to a guitar. Something with the timbre or the technique of the Stick just doesn't seem to translate very well with high gain. Anyway, thanks for reading my stream of consciousness. :)
