    What do you guys use to get a good clean tone?
    I’m using a bunch of pedals and either a Vox AC30
    or a Crate Palomino 16…I know the AC30 gets a great clean
    but I was wondering more about good “clean sound” pedals
    thanks

    Holy Stain ‘clean’

    Sounds great with a touch of the reverb

    Tele to the White finger to the Laney VC30 (AC30 for the poor :D )

    although i’ve got a feeling that the finger fattens up the tone nicely, but it gets lost in a mix a little bit

    the Germanium OD can produce a lovely clean sound; a touch of compression with a ‘vintage’ sounding smoothness.

    i use a white finger and holy grail when im playing clean

    the white finger keeps everthing in tact and smooths and glossens it out and the holy grail orignal reverb is always on, but adds that little bit extra and sounds awesome !!!!

    Germanium OD has a really good clean tone with the Gain rolled back to noonish and bias and voltage dialed to your specs.

    I recently bought the White Finger (the new die-cast case version) and I have to say that it’s so good for clean and overdriven tones that it’s definitely a “stay-on” pedal. I had tried many compressors only for them to buzz a lot, suffer from volume drop or merely make the clean sound worse but this really is something else. Once you’ve had it dialled to what you want (it takes a little white but keep at it) and you play some things the difference between your clean sounds is like night and day. The Black Finger is supposed to be great too but I’ve had PSU issues with the tube-type pedals before. The Soul Preacher is also a good compressor, if a little noisy.

    Great clean tone? I turn off my pedals :D
    Actually, I love my Echoplex for what it does to the clean tone.

    holy grail (spring, knob set to 9 o’clock) -> wiggler (subtle tremolo).

    bridge pickup.
