Been trying out my recently fixed TS-808 pedal with my Peavey Backstage Plus amp, and found that it seems to work pretty well with the amp's overdrive, on it's own the amp's overdrive is a bit transistory, but I found that if I set the overdrive on the amp so that I get just a hint of breakup, and then use the TS-808 as a booster pedal, I get more of a Tube-ish kind of sound, if I then engage the switches on the Pre gain control and the Treble control, it seems to fatten up a bit in a nice way, and then adding a bit of reverb enhances it a bit more, pretty interesting considering that the amp is a Solid State amp.
I guess the art in getting a good sound from any guitar amp is really all about getting to know the amp and using your ears to tell when it sounds good.
In the words of Joe Meek (famous English producer of the 50's)..."If it sounds good,it is good".
