ok so i know almost enough about the fact that most modern andy mixes and many people prefer to use a ts 808 or ts 9 or maxon od 808... whatever.
i've never been particularly fond of a pedal in front of a dual rectifier or emg pickups for that matter i liked passives and the raw tone of a dual recto, or 5150, or mark iv, whatever, but i got some bands coming in who have that "job for a cowboy" and "chimaria" thing going on so i figure it's time i join the rest of the world and pick up a pedal to give them that smooth rhythm sound. my question is this: i know there are several versions of these pedals with mods, without mods...
if i had to get one (im guessing the 808 series whether it be the ibanez ts 808 or the maxon od 808) which one is the "staple" of the pedal boosted metal tone, and lets say i do get it, should i get a modded one, say a keely modded one??? i know that the downsides of the chip in the original pedals which cut a low of low end is what makes it good, so then i figured since the mod corrects it then for the usage in metal tones it probablyt is not good.
someone please help me out here. say the ones that andy uses for his reamping of those dropped C chimaira tones and stuff and JFAC which pedal is it, and if its modded, what kind of mod????
the only think i know for sure is that KSE generally use the maxon pedals but then again andy reamped that too so who knows.
thanks in advance
