OD808 and other gear questions.

1. Is it a good idea to add an overdrive pedal to your amp distortion?

2. What exackly do compressors do?

3. If you buy a mic preamp does that just make whats being miced sound better. Do you plug the output of the preamp into a PA head, poweramp or mixer or will they all work?

4. I have a sonic maximizer. I like it but i still cant really decide wtf it does lol. its an oldschool one but they make new ones. Should i upgrade to the new one?

5. Can you recommend me a a wireless transmiter deal. Cheap of course and rack mound if possible.

Thank you.

1. depends on your preference. In my (maxon od808) experience it really tightens it up, adds a tad of grit, boosts the mids, and takes a tip off of the bass. Makes my marshall sound like a real marshall and not like the frankenstein it is (6100lm)

2. compressors level out your volume so it doesnt decay. Basically takes out all dynamics --> but this is good when soloing and doing bends because the bends wont die out.

3. not too sure -- but mic preamps are only necessary if the PA or mixer lacks an internal one.

4. sonic maximizers are a pre-set EQ section. It basically just scoops your mids. they're a waste of usage in my opinion and you can get much better results with a real EQ.

5. k, i heard a wireless the other day and it was sweet as hell but i dont remember what its called. It ran into a small pedal-sized box that was on the pedalboard. We a/b tested it and there was virtually no difference... but that might be in part of SD blackouts, ADA mp-1 --> VHT poweramp setup.

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!
