Generally I find that stock distortions sound like shit. That would probably be a different story with a really high quality amp though. |
I beg to differ with some above regarding pedals not delivering tone for recording. A
vintage ProCo Rat or a
vintage SansAmp Classic have some of the best tone (through a CLEAN amp channel) I have ever recorded. Both pedals have very versatile adjustments.
Strangely, try those through a Fender '65 Deluxe reissue - you might be surprised at how much 'AC/DC' sound comes out of that at moderate volume...
I have been playing and recording professionally for 40+ years, and I cannot tell a lie...
