Too right - I need to get myself some new kit for my setup when the chance arises; you able to recommend a decent gain pedal, per chance? Preferably not too expensive...and something that generates something similar to an classic Edge tone

Originally posted by bcgd:+1 on the Boss SD-1 however if you pick up one used I highly recommend getting one without two of the knobs missing like I did.

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979:Classic Edge tone OD pedal? Try a Boss SD-1 or Boss OD-2 or OD-2r. Avoid the OD-3 as it's shite. A Tubescreamer will get you 2000-2008 era OD tones.

For something a bit more extreme? Boss PW-2. (Edge had one in his Vertigo tour arsenal) While only made for like... 4 mins in 1997, they can be found on E-Bay for under $100.00 I got mine for a mere $39.00
