Cheers yeh i get you, because take zakk wylde ,he has his own custom marshall amp yet uses the sd1, so what your sayin is he might use either on different occasions.
I have a marshall and a few boss distortion pedals. I wana know if the top players use only a distortion pedal or just their amp overdrive or BOTH? I was just wondering because any top end amps are expensive just to use the clean channel and a boss distortion.
