distortion/overdrive pedals
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 9:58 pmAnyone using distortion or overdrive pedals with lap steel? Any recommendations?
Use it like a spice.
Too much is overkill

EH also do a big muff, a little big buff and bass big muff which I've not tried with Lapsteel but sure sound decent with guitar.
Alternatively there are a ton of boutique companies that offer some great overdrive/distortion/fuzz pedals (check out Zvex "fuzz factory" & "wooly mammoth", Dr. Scientist "elements", Death By Audio "supersonic fuzz gun" & "fuzz war".
Hope this helps! : )
