I know it has probably been posted many times but tho I wanted to ask, what overdrive pedal I should get? I will buy Mxr Phase90 and Boss DD-3 or Ibanez De-7 but not sure what overdrive I should use. I use Fender Hot Rod Deville 212 and usually I play music by Muse and Radiohead (tho I write few songs to).

i use an OD-3 through a hot rod deluxe, its a great pedal, but i think youd better suited with a distortion or a fuzz if you dont already have one

I have none pedal at all now... but do you recommend any Fuzz or Distortion pedal that is good for people like me (who is just starting to use pedals)?

and what kind of music do u play ?

im not realy one to ask about the distortion, but I think radiohead use turbo RATs.

for distortion I use a RAT II and my band play just general alternative rock, we do weezer, pixies and smashing pumpkins covers, and the RAT II does the job for me.

I think for muse youd want something more fuzzy, but id still recommend a RAT II as its cheap and versatile, you could get muse sounds on the very high settings

Im sure some more knowledgable people will post soon

I know that Thom york from Radiohead uses turbo Rats and Matt Bellamy from Muse use Zvex Fuzz Factory. But thanks for the help.

i had a hot rod deluxe before i got my super reverb, and i can tell you that you cant go wrong with a tubescreamer.

A rat should do the trick, a modded SD-1 or something like that should work as well.

I would recommend the Rat II, for that is the greatest drive pedal out there...
