Guitar Pedal that sounds like a keyboard (please don't tell me to just get a keyboard-centric)

saps [Edit] [Delete] 17:57, 13 December '08

Ages ago I found that with a lot of tweaking of overdrive pedals and some palm-muting I could create a nice 80s keyboard sound with my guitar.

For the life of me I can't work out how I managed it now (plus my set-up has changed some). And even if I could I'm sure the practicalities of playing it live would be horrendous - the pedals were all pretty much maxed-out as I recall.

Can anyone recommend a bespoke pedal that could do the trick?

If you're curious you can hear the track I'm talking about on my band's myspace page. It's Spoonfuls of History - currently Track 4.

This is NOT an elaborate JAG - I just thought it might help to know the kind of sound I'm talking about - www.myspace.com/redgaterover
