The last couple days have been spent in noodle town trying out different drives in front of the Electra Dyne. Once I landed on a combination of the Tchula and a Zendrive on the Blue channel, I think I found my favorite modded Marshall tone.
I already have the Tchula on when the video starts, it's transparent but gives a big volume boost, it really is like steroids. The Blue channel is set to maybe a pinch more than AC/DC crunch, but not by much. What trips me out the most is how low output these pickups are and how full they sound. The pedals aren't adding a whole lot of dirt, the Zen is at unity gain with the Drive at 10 o'clock.
If I were doing classic rock/hard rock this would most certainly be my main dirt source. There's a ton of room to play in there with all the knobs, other times I've tried doing this things got too 'loaded down' to manage and there was like 1-2 "right" settings.
Anyone else stack drives as a regular thing? @TubeStack, I know you're a Blue channel guy with the ED, what are you hitting it with?
