arislaf Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just tried the Hiwatt preamp and use it as a overdrive pedal in front of engl, marshal, uber, and it is hell! Also the Champ gves a nice old overdrive sound a a pedal, and the 45 marshall gives a nice fuzz pedal sound . Try it guys it is workng. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I've heard of doing this before, using an amp in front of another amp. Never tried it, but I'll have to make sure I do. And HA!. Try and do this in the real world. Modelers are great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0stenning Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 i'm not heavy metalled - or even a "distortions" really ! but I love this post ! makes perfect sense. As does the idea by Mr The Helix Channel do do boosting - simply by mapping increases to gain/master etc on an amp to a pedal. Simples ! And since many boosts are supposed to aim for just "more of the same" - surely a simple gain block tied to an EQ - mapped to a pedal ought to be a great booster too! ( but hell - what do I know ? ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
