SHO Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 If you don't like the amp's sound as it is, then no pedal in the world will magically fix that. Pedals are great for doing something the amp doesn't, like getting more distortion, or add versatility to a one channel amp, or getting some distortion going on a no master level amp without blowing your ears and so on. But you are still playing through that amp, and what ever the pedal does will be coloured by the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHO Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 ..............Say what now SHO ?' date=',,,................that is not true ...............you can model the sound and adjust it for any amp......and such ......[/quote'] Depends on what his problem with the amps sound is, and what he wants the pedal to do. Every amp has a voice of it's own and that will still be its voice with a pedal in front of it. If he just want more distortion, sure that can be fixed with a pedal. Want more flexibility? Sure, that can be fixed. But if you don't like the way the amp sounds as a whole, I think you're wasting your time adding pedals to it. My rule is, use pedals to add to the sound, not to fix it. If you have other experiences, do share them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not played on the 100 watt Blackheart head, but I really like the 5 watt. Cool amps, well built for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
