Members Snufkino Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Looking for something to add some heavy dirt to my Velocette amp at low volumes, and my Hotcake, as nice as it is, just isn't doing it. Also need something to augement the amp's simple tone control set up, which is a just a "tone" knob, which goes from too muddy to too trebly. So I'm after a pedal would give me way more fine control over bass and treble, even when it's set clean, and then still offer noticable tone control when cranked. So either the Fulltone OCD, or C'bread CB30 would fit the bill, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 i dont remember the ocd having that much control over tone. id look for something with separate treble/ bass controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't, same with similar pedals a la the barber direct drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think the OCD just has a low pass filter, meaning it just cuts the highs. Catalinbread CB30 doesn't have a ton of gain and it's voiced like a vox so unless you want your amp to sound like a Vox and just tweak it from there that's not what you're looking for. I'd check out a Timmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snufkino Posted July 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 The Velocette I'm using is apparently 'vox-like'. Uses ECC83 & EL84. There's no drive channel. Just volume and tone (and a bright switch) so I'm looking for something that's an extension of the amp's controls I guess, which is what's drawn me to the CB30.

Members captions87 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you're lookin to save a buck or a hundred, I've heard good things about the Caline Overdrive. Supposed to be modeled after one of the Xotic preamp pedals. Caline CP-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It excels as an EQ in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
