Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I currently have an OCD and a DS1 in my pedal board. I really like my OCD as a stand alone distortion but not as a boost On the other hand, I like the DS1 as a boost but not as a stand-alone distortion. But I need to free up some space in my board for some other stuff so I want a pedal that would be a good boost for the DSL BUT would also work as a distortion pedal on its own (changing settings of course) in case I need to play through a clean amp at a jam etc... what do you guys recommend??

How much distortion do you need? I have a Boss OD-3, which works pretty effectively, but I wouldn't consider it a high gain pedal. However, it sounds way more natural than the DS-1, and works just fine for boosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 hmm I also have a SD-1 (Super Overdrive) somewhere around here... I need to find it and give it a try.. how would compare the OD-3 to the SD-1 gain-wise?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 also has anybody to use tried a Proco RAT as a boost?? I really like that pedal tone as a stand alone distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Puddlegum Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Sounds like you want the Jekyll & Hyde pedal from Visual Sounds. It's a dual OD/distortion box. Sounds very good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, the OD-3 is similar, but not quite as aggressive sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
