Distortion & Overdrive

Postby wartaler » 16 Oct 2012, 22:23

Hi all,

Although the ND already has quite punchy sounds of its own, I wanted to experiment with some overdrive and distortion;

Just to share my experience:

I have a Line6 POD2.0 lying around and tried it out - also has a nice red colour, but other than that I found it is a very BAD match with the ND!
In contrast to other drummachines, with the ND there was a constant crackling noise (as if playing a dusty LP record), even with volume of the ND down.
No idea what is causing it, filtering out high frequencies from the ND output did help..

However; I am quite happy with the results I got with the all analog Boss ROD-10 !!!!!!

Unfortunately, it's a hard to come by piece of 80s technology, so my tip is probably not very useful for most...

Cheers,
Albert

I've had success with a ProCo Rat. Sounds great, no issues.
Other rack / instrument effects are working as well.

I use the EHX Bass Big Muff Pi. Sounds great. Will try the Cat.
