With the volume on your guitar to about 5, then turn up your lead channel to about 7 to the point to where the signal starts to break up, then if you crank your guitar volume all the way up and you'll get an overdrive sound, but the quality depends on your gear.Same here. I probably have enough random pedals laying around to put together another pedal board. Some pedals there days can be pretty complicated, the Oceans 12 and Digitech Trio+ come to mind. I had various effects processors and a few Fender Mustang amps with built in effects, but they were a PITA to learn how to use to the point that I was spending more time learning how to use them than actually playing guitar, so I sold them. Now I just use guitar, amps and pedals. I was buying gear almost every other week the last few years but I've cut down and haven't gotten anything since the first of the year. There're a few things I have my eye on but going to wait until I have a little more extra money.</blockquote>
