I think your right I just consider the vintage tubescreamer and the neew maxons one and the same. However the maxon I have is not the tubescreamer it is as I said before "its big brother" it has two of the jrc chips not one. And the increased head room is awesome.

As for z vex he has a disclaimer on his page about people blowing their amps becuase of the extreme boost that the "super hard on" gives. I dont have a compressor I read that mxr makes a quality compressor. I dont know if I need one I really like my sound now. I do like trey however am not trying to find his tone. I am more into hendrix hence my roger mayer pedals. THe z vex octane 3 is just obserd I have never used a pedal that screams like it I think some with think its too much but not me and probally most "tone freaks"

Does trey play a les paul? I thought so? I want to get a les paul classic but dont have the money right now unless I sell some stuff. Do you have a compressor? What type?
