I know there's a pedal...

I'm looking for an effect...

What the best way to make a solid state amp have that sweet tube feel, with the option of that soft-clip distortion so wonderful in tube amps?

Thunderchief, Prof. Tweed, English Channel, Supreaux

Check the soundclips - I believe he records them through a SS amp set to clean/no-EQ.

Jfet OD, or amp sim build, clips at ROG.
 12AX7 build with 2 tube gain stages. I did it with wall warts.
 Using the tube part of the Shaka Tube, Sounds very tubey to my ears... . and works exceptionally well with other transistor/OA builds.

Blue Magic, Peppermill... Easier to tackle first-off than the 3+ stage emulators at ROG...

Got to crank up my new Peppermill at practice yesterday. Comment from guitar chum, "Phil, have you put a new pickup on that guitar?"

Yes. all of the previously mentioned circuits will do the job. If you want "in your face" harmonics, nothing so far equals the Meteor. It just flat out kills. IMHO
