Anybody here have more than one of the same pedal? I've been debating on getting another Power Driver. That way I can leave one on my board and have one floating around for a grab as needed thing.

I have two Blues Drivers I mod'ed on my board. Both are Monte Allums mods ( www.t-mods.com/). One is the H20 mod and one is the regular mod. I use the H20 for a lead boost and the regular for my overdrive.

When my backline was all Rivera, I had three Radial Tonebones on my pedal board - two Classics and one Hot British. The two Classics were set completely differently - one with mostly a simple boost with some mid-boost, the other with some more grind, and then of course the Hot British sounded completely different. These days I don't have ANY distortion boxes on my pedal board...

For the Loggins & Messina tour we had many of the same pedals on the boards. You cannot reach down during a show so multiple pedals of the same type were used at times for different songs where each pedal was marked with it's particular songs.

I've got two Hot Cakes in my chain, but they are slightly different (apparently the "Bluesberry" edition has a smoother gain). If they weren't though, I'd still want two, because either one sounds great both for a little edge or for heavy crunch, and I'm too old to bend over to tweak a knob...set it and step on it, that's my motto...

Hi Lefty what is the Dual Drive and Power Driver like sound wise? I can't seem to find any clips of the pedals and Scotty's site seems to be down. Thanks, Arun

The Power Driver goes for 250.00 new. Yea his site is down for awhile...still making pedals thought. The best place to find 'em is through dealers. I posted a sound clip a while back of the Dual Drive and my Maz Jr. www.leftyshouseoftone.com/sounds/JimiJam.mp3I havn't made one of the Power Driver yet, but it's killer. It's based on the Colorsound Overdriver, but with a few tweaks like bass and treble as well as level and gain. It can do anything from a clean boost to a full out Si fuzz.

Kind of like bks, I ran two ts-9's into each other for years. each pedal was slightly unique in its voice. both pedals were better voiced to my ears than some other like ts-9's. it was a great setup for on the fly od, drive, and sizzle. today, i use a hot cake fed by a keeley or carl martin comp and follwed by a carl martin para eq. i still go thorugh various fuzzy wuzzies in front of all of this...

When people use multiples of a single pedal to get different sounds, it points out a weakness in the design of the pedal. If synth makers were able to build presets into their designs decades ago it's well past time for pedal makers to catch up.

I fully disagree, maybe it just means that the pedal can do more than one sound VERY well. Case in point, the Power Driver...it does an EXCELLENT clean/gritty boost and a full out Si fuzz. Granted, you can set it for full out fuzz and back down your guitar volume to achieve similar tones as with the gain set lower, but that's just another feature! I used to use two TS-9's back in the day. One set for a clean boost and the other set with higher gain. And for full out fun I would step on both at the same time. Not a poorly designed pedal, just versatile.

Hi Lefty, I'm a little late on this post, but I have 3 old Boss OD-1's. One is stock and two have been modded for a little more low-end. One stays on my live board, one stays on my rehearsal/recording board and one is for any friends who show up for a jam and need a dirt box!
Peace to all! TK

I fully disagree, maybe it just means that the pedal can do more than one sound VERY well.That is my point. If a pedal can be set for (let's say) two useful settings you ought to be able to select either with the tap of your toe. Dial in your ideal gain, EQ, etc., and save it as "A". Dial in another setting and save it as "B". (Or "C" or "D".) But you can't do that. You have to have multiple pedals.

They have devices that do all that now - they sit in a rack and have a MIDI pedal connected to recall presets. You end up spending all your playing time programming the fool things, and in the end, all you wanted was two sounds you could have got with two TS-9s in the first place. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it!

If a pro tour used multiple pedals because they needed more than one sound from each, I can guarantee you they would jump at the convenience of the same pedal with user-selectable presets.

Hi oldster, have you ever checked out the Radial Tonebone Trimode. It does exactly what you are wanting. It is a tweakers delight! I think guitar player magazine and guitar one did a review on it. You can set to two different sounds and flip between the two and have your clean sound when bypassed. I have always liked the Tonebone classic which the trimode is based on. The trimode is supposed to be ultra versatile. I used to have a Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp pedal that did the same thing as well. Sounded different though and not as tweakable.
