The tone I'm listening for is akin to the crunchy, chunky Orange AD30. Specific examples are "Lonely Nation," "Stars," and "Meant to Live" by Switchfoot and "Stars" by Hum.
This would replace the Big Muff in my chain. I've already tried the EQD Monarch and wasn't that thrilled (too fizzy/buzzy on the top). Admittedly, it doesn't help that I always go direct and use IEMs so I hear everything.
So, what I'm looking at:
Direct Drive SS - lots of tweaking options
Compact DD - does this have the same tweakability of the SS?
Dirty Bomb
Any ideas what'll get me close? Am I, maybe, trying to find a sound that doesn't exist?
