Found my tones

in these two pedals, with these settings.....
With just the SD-1 on, I can get some fat, round blues tones.  The drive is cranked for maximum sustain, but the tone is completely off - the lack of high end makes it appear that there is less gain, but you still get the sustain of the full on gain.

In my funky blues rock band, I'll use this tone for most of my rhythm guitar playing, and some leads.

When I turn on the 5150 Overdrive, it gets a tone similar to Van Halen 1.  I have the bass and mids set lower than 5, and the treble is almost all the way off - it has just enough to give the tone some grit.  The gain is pretty low as well.  I love this tone, with some delay or reverb, I feel like it's very close to the brown sound.  In the same band, I'll use this just to kick it in for crazy fast lead guitar.
