glaister Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Hello!Just picked up a 1st version Double Drive Ltd Ed off the `bay,really like it ! Very warm sounding pedal with a good range of o/d and distorted sounds. Anyone else use one of these?
tbonesullivan Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I've heard very good things about the entire Tech 21 line. I keep toying with the idea of picking up a SansAmp Bass driver for playing direct.
glaister Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah,I`ve always wanted to try a DD after reading a review yeays ago! It certainly impressed me up to now,it`s got loads of sounds in it,and very tweakable! It`s quiet as well! It gives a different range of options to my FD2,which has been my no 1 for years !!!
barrymclark Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Never tried one. Used their bass stuff before. Wonderful, WONDERFUL sounding stuff. If I had money, the Trademark 60 would be on the short list.
JeffB Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I had one for a while and liked it a lot. I was using it with a Fender Pro Tube series Pro Reverb and it worked really well with that amp. Also worked well with my Fender Concert. When I sold the amp I gave the pedal away with it. I ended up playing with the guy I sold the amp to and with his tele that stomp and that amp he had a great sound and made me regret the sale. Ive been contemplating getting another double drive or getting the double drive X3 for a while and this thread seemed to bump me into motion. Im going to get the DDX3.
glaister Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 General consensus seems to be that the x3 doesn`t sound as good as the original but I have no knowledge of it personally! I`m running the DD in line with a Fulldrive 2 and it really gives a whole different sound,`fatter` would be my description,athough there are many sounds in both of these pedals. The DD is a keeper! The first o/d that`s really impressed me since I got the FD2 a few years ago!(Others have come and gone!).
JeffB Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Based on my experience with taking notice of general consensus the ddx3 should be an absoute winner. Sold a Timmy today and have Catalinbread DLS, A Zendrive an OCD and some other pedals that general consensus suggested should be awesome for sale. If theyre the good **** Im going to start using the bad **** for a while so I can learn to appreciate them.
glaister Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah,I know what you`re saying,I`ve been thro` a few of the `popular` pedals and been underwhelmed ! I suppose we`re all after the sound in OUR heads aren`t we ?
