Members misterstomach Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 i don't know about your amp, cause i don't have one, but the ocd totally rules with my jcm 800. fantastic pedal with a very wide useable gain range. it has more gain than i would have expected from a pedal i always thought of as an od. enough to work as a distortion for me, but it's very amp like and amp responsive, and usable as an od at most of it's gain range. i don't know a ton about od pedals though. if i were goin for a marshall type of deal, the DLS is truly awesome. i thought long and hard about getting one, but didn't in the end, 'cause i need just a bit more gain than it will provide. i'm also really intrigued by the black forest. i really want one and by all accounts it's awesome.

Members The Lou-Dog Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I love a good Toobscreamer. My Analogman Tubescreamer smashes arse, and not in a SRV way (though it can do that). Recently I have been using the Skreddy Screwdriver Deluxe as my main dirty pedal, and it is quite remarkably versatile. I don't know whether it excels at all it's applications but it can do a lot. It sounds great with my Strat, and at low gain it sounds fantastic with my 335. But it sounds like {censored} with my Les Paul Jr., which is not really being my best mate at the moment. I may sell it and build a Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Now that I'm using many more cleanish parts I prefer to use either my Black Forest or the Plimsoul the same way. I wish I was stacking amps where I could just choose one for clean, another for grind and another for dirt. But, playing out is becoming increasingly rare and doing that kind of setup is a bitch for me, especially considering any gig I play is going to start about 2 hours past my bed time. You bastard! You ignore me in preference to bitching and moaning about your bedtime? See if I ever offer you a Tubester tourbox !!! Dammit, where is Goodhonk? I need a shoulder!!

Members decode6 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have a SHO running into a VT-22 and it's pretty slick. Want to get a fuzz or something else to complement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A.P. Ryder Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I only know this because I want one badly and have read everything about it, but a Blackstone Appliances overdrive is supposed to be excellent into a clean amp.

Members guitarplayer888 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 In general one of the high end boutique style tube screamer clones would probably suit your needs best, and specifically a Keeley modified Tube Screamer. There are a million demos on youtube, here is one. I love mine and use it all the time. You can use it as a boost for solos, as your main dirty rhythm sounds or however else you want. Its got a wide range of tone from just slightly breaking up to a well overdriven endless sustain sound. If I only took one pedal on stage with me it would be this one.
