I preordered the new Ted Leo album.

I listened to the leak, and it’s pretty killer.

This.

I am currently stricken with TWO illnesses. I have a cold AND the stomach flu. My body isn’t following the rules.

Also, I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t resist posting this.

I have always wanted a guy to make a mix like that for me. And holy shit you picked some good ones. I don’t see how you can fail!

Thanks for the confidence boost. Lord knows I need it!

In my opinion, the Blues Driver is a tone sucker (I am not a fan of most Boss pedals for this reason). Tube Screamers are awesome, but if you’re leaning towards one of those, I think you ought to go with a Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive instead. Obviously the Box of Rock is just a killer pedal.

I have a Sparkle Drive in my setup, and I personally don’t want another overdrive.

Crappy picture, but you get the idea.

Overdrive into the Big Muff. The settings take some tweaking in order to not get massive feedback, but when you get it just right, it’s a beautiful thing.

Also, try rolling back on the volume of your guitar for rhythm and then bring it up for lead.

And pickup switching is a really important part.

Watch this video of "Feel The Pain" [youtube]VivRK14w6oM[/youtube]

Notice for the verses, he uses the neck pickup, then switches to the bridge pickup for leads, then back to the neck pickup.

I hope this helps you find what you’re missing.
