Are you a cascader?
Whom of you is cascading overdrive or distortion pedals? I have almost never done it until about 2 months ago. I felt I needed a little more drive in my basic sound as the JTM45 is very clean and I wanted more drive in the clean sound. Usually, I only played my OCD or either my Ibanez TS9, but then I tried diminishing the gain on the OCD, so that cleanish solos sound creamy enough and I didn't have to fight for every singel note. For the main solos I kick on the the TS-9 additionally to get some volume and drive boost. These two pedals work brilliantly together.
How 'bout you then? Cascador senor?
