Think outside the effects box - Freqdistort
By KenBJammen on Mar 8, 2010 | In Welcome | Send feedback »
What if there really were no limits in creating good analog effects. What if the mind was really the limit. Well if it was, I would be new creating effects every day. I want to take some time to think outside the effects box. This week I will submit a few effects for your review that I created.
The first effect I will submit for review is the Frequency dependant OD. This overdrive takes 1 / 2 of the signal and distorts it, while keeping the lower frequencies clean. If you were to purchase the analog box it would look something like this:
Wrapping up the search for the ultimate overdrive, conclusion

Although my search will always continue for the ultimate overdrive and distortion pedal, I will discuss today the Overdrive and Distortion pedals that I have kept and found a home for on my pedal boards.
The one effect that I have that I base the rest of my distortion pedals is the Keeley Mod DS-1. The mod takes the harshness out while adding more harmonics. This pedal has a moderate amount of distortion available to it and has 2 different clipping modes. A very versatile pedal and one that I would like to secure a backup for at some point in the near future.
Ibanez original TS-9

The first distortion/overdrive pedal that I ever owned was an original Ibanez TS-9. I purchased this in 1988 and never knew what I had. I purchased from a pawn shop and rigged headphones into it to make a small practice amp with a cheap guitar that I owned at the time.
I owned this overdrive pedal and never really played it through an amp and it disappeared somewhere around 1990-1991. I have tried the reissue pedals and they are reported not to be comparable and I am not sure that I like the tone that comes from the reissue...So there really is no review for the original TS-9, but it made for one real vintage crappy sounding practice amp.
