I like the punch of a true clean tone but prefer to use an OD for some tonal richness, plus I never need or want a true clean tone (p&w player doing mostly fairly edgy stuff, only electric guitarist, large band with lots of midrange competition). And I've come to prefer an OD vs. cranking up the gain control - seems to preserve the punchiness in the mix.
In the past I've used the Xotic RCB to good effect. But now I'm looking for something a bit different. I'm not explaining this very well...
So I want something to warm up my clean tones (Mesa Mark IIC+ - my base amp for all tones) - and hope someone can make sense of what I'm after here.
What are you using and liking? I've tried all of them and tend to get lost and confused, plus y'all have always come through for me.
Thanks!
