Advice pedal for classic rock like GNR, Def leppard, 80's rock.
which pedal i should go for?
thx

BSIAB2 or the Runoffgroove Thor

  The one you think'll sound good for that through your *amp, with your *guitar as source. [Better yet the one[s you tried with *them and like].
  Many of 'them' used DIST+.
  A couple 9V [or less] Mu amps like BSIAB has gets great sounding out of the box distortion, built separately is an option I like. 
  I use 1 or 2  single Mu Stages into one another or something else, to get nothing on it, light OD Boost, Distortion, Heavy Distortion on even the light notes, throw a tone section in there [A Jfet Mu has enough drive to push a simple TC and get above unity], voice the rest and have lots of tonal distortion options.

that pedal produces sound like plexi or bogner?

Well i believe that the BSIAB is more like a crankin' 18watts Marshalls, well at least that is what the description said

i see. could bsiab produces distortion like bogner xtsy?

Tube Screamer will do the trick. I use a TS808 clone through a JCM800 with a bunch of drive and get a sound pretty close to Angus Young (ACDC)

Isn't the dirty channel on an Ecstasy more or less a slightly tweaked hi input off a Marshall JCM800 anyway?

though Young only uses two Marshall superleads with the volume at 5. All the balls come from his fingers 

Hate to tell you this but the Bogner extasy isn't exactly a classic rock amp! At least wasn't around when said rock wasn't yet "classic".

DOD od250 or a distortion+ into a marshall or slightly distoprted amp will get you there.
The BSIAB2 into a clean amp will get you there. As will the ROG Thor circuit.

Slash used marshall 25th aniversary jubille amps I believe.

Their are 4 or 5 recomendations already.

"BIASB2"
"Thor"
DOD OD250 
Distortion+
Tubescreamer

Build those and get back to us.

ok thx.

what kind of guitar and amp are you using?
If you've got a JCM800, you probably won't want a pre-amp emulator like a thor, coz you've already got the right pre-amp.
On the other hand, if you've got a weak SS pre-amp, you'll definately want a simulator.

Also, there's a huge difference between the ballsy Angus humbucker sound and the choir-boy Springsteen single coil tones that were both a big part of 1980s rock.

So maybe
explain your gear
explain the group or sound you are after
cheers

GNR, Def leppard

And somehow I presume he's not playing a dano.

Are GNR and Def Leppard one or two different setups.
I have a GNR CD somewhere, and thought that they had a much heavier sound than DL.
Didn't DL do that bubblegum-as-music "Sweet Home Alabama" song?

80s heavy metal/classic rock was pretty high in treble and slice your ears off at 100 yards...

Try the mxr distortion+, with a few small mods and an eq behind it you'll be rocking out in no time! Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist) used one!

try the fuzz central liquid drive (i'm planning do build one, but before i wanna build a bassdrive)
