Guitar sounds dull

[dopple]

I have 2 danelectro overdrive pedals but neither seem to give much kick. Can anyone advise me of a pedal to use to make it sound a bit more full?

The Boss OD-20 covers just about anything you could want, but you might find it cheaper to try replacing your guitar's volume pots. If they're 250k, go to 500k. If they're 500k, go to 1 Meg. If they're 1 Meg, go back to my suggestion about the Boss OD-20! :)

Also,Clean your strings and raise your pickups.

part of the problem are the pedals. i got a couple Danos early on and realtive to the other pedals out there they just don't cut it. If you're looking for overdrive or distortion then yeah the OD-20 Overdrive, BD-2(?) Blues Driver or the hallowed MT-2 Metal Zone will do the trick.

otherwise... yeah, raise your pickups, try getting some new strings (I like GHS Super Boomers in 9's though 10's or 11's will give you a bit more tonally), or, new pickups or a new amp may help but those cost more, obviously.

One of my first overdrives was a danelectro T-Bone distortion/overdrive..saying it simply sucked would be an injustice to the word.The names are ridiculous too...Black Coffee Distortion?Fish n' Chips EQ?Are we playing guitar or ordering something to eat?Damn danelectro for all his ugly colored,cheap plasic,dumbass named pedals!
