Members stevemcb Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Another vote for the OD-3, especially if you're mostly using single coils. Abandon anti-Boss prejudices, it's a great OD.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted April 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I play a Hamer Eclipse with Firebird pickups for what it's worth.....I looked up the Pork Loin at GC, says it is $169...a little spendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fat_Tone_77 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 NOC3 Rock Candy OD is a great, really low gain overdrive. Not too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members companyman Posted April 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 There's a Liquid Sunshine in the For Sale section for $95. Link hmmm, not so sure I like the sound of that, a bit brittle sounding...although the Bobby D demo was pretty good. It is hard to judge from youtube vids. In all honesty, I am not sure what I am looking for. I guess I am going down the OD rabbit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members companyman Posted April 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 you're playing mini buckers through the velocette right? yeah, well the Goldtone GA-15, essentially a Velocette. I am trying to go as inexpensive as possible also, I wish the DOD OD-250 didn't sound all flubby, cuz it was really cheap. I may just go Danelectro, but those switches drive me nuts when I am playing live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CoqBelliqueux Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 MXR Distortion III Boss, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted April 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 MXR Distortion III Boss, guys? I have a DIII on my board that is my longest standing pedal, 3 years now. I'm looking for something to put before the DIII with the distortion at 12:00 and the output around 11-12:00, so a medium crunch by most standards....I need the new pedal to retain a good clean quality but sort of connect the notes together a bit more, a touch sensitive slight smearing of the notes. It needs to stack well, I have had unpleasant experiences with TS-9's and the like in the past so....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to judge from youtube vids. In all honesty, I am not sure what I am looking for. I guess I am going down the OD rabbit hole. Do it. Liquid sunshine is not brittle, it is the fault of youtube. Seriously, it's exactly what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear sound, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faldoe Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Another Liquid Sunshine suggestion. Also the Barber LTD SR is quite nice. You can find both used for $100 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members booher Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 BD-2. If you want to give it a shot, the DOD Juice Box is highly recommended for that sort of thing and is usually $50 or under (I can't remember what the going rate is on one, but I'm sure it's sub $50).

Members jhamnett Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 For $100 you could get yourself both a Dano Cool Cat Transparent OD and a Dano Cool Cat Drive (recommend v1 on both). That's smart money, right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's smart money, right there. seems more like sage advice if I imagine you as Alec Baldwin, so you are now him.
