Overdrive/Gain Pedals for PSG

Tyler Friedman · From: Grapevine, Texas, USA

Hi Everyone, long time viewer and recent member here. I've been playing PSG for a few years now and have begun to add some effects into my rig. One of the effects I've had a hard time dialing in or "Finding the right one" is an overdrive or other type of gain box. I've tried a Nobles and a tube screamer overdrive (Not together), an old bosstone fuzz and I am currently using a Paul Cochran Timmy V2. The Timmy is close to the sound in my head but I am curious to see what everyone else thinks about all the different options we have for gain.

Zendrive, or a clone of it. I use the Aion Azimuth.

I've never used one but a lot of people swear by the Sarno Earth Drive.

i really like and own both the mythos olympus and the kingtone blues power. they are fantastic smooth sounding overdrives. my board has the kingtone blues power on it right now. either one works incredibly well with steel guitar. there is just a plethora of tone and controllability in either pedal.
good luck in your journey. your ears will tell you.

Having been a no frills player for many years I'm really delighted with the new Jackson Silvertone stompbox, it is the first pedal I have ever wanted to actually build a gigging pedal board around. I'm completely hooked now and so are my bandmates, and the trusty old Vibroverb gets to stay at home. From clean classic country to shredding Elmore James and Duane Allman, it adds so much versatility to the already superb sound of my Webb and Quilter amps that after only a handful of shows I can't imagine working without it now. It is a true bypass device so I have it directly after the VP and follow it with a Keeley compressor before feeding the organ synth, chorus, delay, and reverb, so that I can set the levels for a low gain clean sound at the same level as the fully bypassed signal and with the compressor engaged I can just turn the input gain up or down as needed without having to mess with the output level from song to song.

Steeltronics STO. Made specifically for steel guitar. I have one. Has a much more usable range than an OD made for 6 string guitar. Sounds great and has no extra noise!

Whatever I try I always return to my old SansAmp Classic.

I also have the “Steeltronic’s “ STO pedal , which is utterly fantastic. This pedal is designed for steel guitar pickup’s.

I like the Jam Rattler for real saturated distortion slash fuzz. I use it in my psychedelic rock band with the strymon cloudburst and it sounds really cool. like an overdriven cello or a viola

The only pedal that has stayed consistently on my pedal board for years and years now is the Sarno Earth Drive. Great for steel because you can hear the individual notes and it doesn't get muddy like some overdrive pedals.

If you want full-on over the top distortion I really like the Crazy Tube Circuits Starlight Fuzz
