rhum66 « An alternative "good & different" for the screamers tubes »
Published on 04/10/14 at 02:21American-pedal excellent construction, metal housing, simple but robust design class.
Category:. According Fulltone, Overdrive, with ambition to approach the grain Marshall JTM-45, or the grain "British" in its infancy, when he was still "bluesy" and "hi-gain" I must say that 'outside the Fender tube amps, I am "madly" I do not know too much "British" amps, but I liked the grain there, not so far from a bassman on certain settings.
UTILIZATION
Using front-amp, in my case, a Fender Deluxe Reverb RI 65 is the config. Traditional Level / Gain / tone + a mini switch two positions, which is actually a booster not transparent at all, but "colored / dye / filter" (for value db see specifications).
-In my approach, compléte OCD overdrive I get with my Ibanez TS-808 and OD-8908 Maxon.J 've been seduced by the grain of this pedal, and I'm picky because after 25 years of TS I have great difficulty aprrécier something else in terms of overdrive, I'm "old fashioned", no offense to geeks who are always hysterical each pedal "boutique" that comes on the market.
This complementarity is the access gains more "beefy" more "wrapped", but with a less smooth than the TS mentioned above grain.
the gain range is at least one-third larger than that of a normal TS, the grain is rougher without falling into caricature.
The tone knob is very accurate acremente, can change color without problem, the kind of luxurious mini switch is not a "boost", it is also a kind of filter that should be esayer each new guitar passing through the OCD, because depending on the type of microphones, the sound is improved / optimized, so it is a setting to "evaluate" each time.
SOUND QUALITY
-The pedal is as good as "light crunch" that most brutal "saturax".
Note, light crunch, it does not compress too much, plus the gain goes, the more "sheath" sound and a compression lengthens the sustain is obtained.
it colors more than TS, and is less transparent, making it the perfect complementarité.On can bring the exotic BB pre-amp, it's pretty close as pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
-This is a pedal that I have time "neglected" because I went back to my tube screamers fast enough ...
I use these in duplicate, so SRV, the first clear boost in the second DO I struggled to find an equivalent of this sound elsewhere.
But one morning, I had the idea of replacing the second TS (the adjusted OD ...) by the OCD, and there .... ca was a revelation.
Since the OCD has found a prominent place in my chain and I think more to part.
hereinafter, two of my clips shot with this system double OD:
with each stratum:
and with LES Paul
