I have just purchased a Quilter Tonebloc 202 with TT 12 and overall it is a vast improvement on my Milkman. except when it comes to the heavier rock side of things. I use an earth drive pedal and through my Milkman I get all the guts I need. But the tone bloc sounds weak when I need to overdrive it. So, I noticed that there is an Overdrive version of the 202 that has both a clean and distorted channel. Has anyone used one? What I want to know is:
1. Is the clean channel exactly the same as the tone block?
2. Is it easy to switch channels, i.e., just press a switch?
3. Is the distorted channel gutsier than using distortion pedal on clean channel? |

The 202 is the one you want for Pedal Steel.
I suspect it may just be some settings that will get it going in the distortion side. Quilter has a Facebook page and post there and you will get advice on the distortion side as there are a lot of rock guitar players using the 202 also. |

Are you using the distorted tones with a PSG, or a 6 string, or both?
Also............
It has been my experience over the years that some amps take pedals differently.
That includes OD/Dist as well as other effects.
And............
Some amps will like one OD/Dist, and not like another.
Then, another amp will react the opposite. |

| Just to confirm, turning the Gain up almost all the way will give a serious amount of overdrive to this amp. Maybe not super adjustable like a separate pedal would be, but plenty good enough for most applications. |
