Members turnitto11 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've played these 3 and really like them. Which should I get? I won't have a chance to play them side by side because there are no dealers around me that stock all three of them. I'm looking for that extra push over the cliff.

Members rdm Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 The COT50 isn't a distortion pedal. Are you looking for a pedal to stack with other pedals? Are you running it in front of a clean or dirty amp? If you're running your amp clean....stay away from the COT50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using a lightly overdriven channel, I'd still stay away from the COT50. It's a treble booster that will most definetly get you into Plexi territory, but in my experience you amp has really gotta be cookin' to get it to the sweet spot. Otherwise...it's extremly harsh and ice-picky. Great pedal....but it's gotta be used properly. I'm sure others here might have a different experience with it. I also didn't like the BoR as the low-end was very flabby. I'd go with an OCD v3 or an MI Audio Blues Pro. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I liked the COT50 Burst demos from PGS. Sounded great. If you already like the sound of your lightly overdriven channel but just want more gain out of it, I would look at a boost pedal instead. Another distortion pedal is going to colour your sound in a different way that might not stack well with what you're running. Maybe an RC Booster or Diamond Boost EQ would work well.

I already have a booster. I use it to boost volume and gain a little. I'm looking for an OD that boosts more gain and a bit of volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members b_nehpets Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 bb... but i wouldn't be so fast to say you wouldn't use the boost on the BOR... but based on a drive pedal... BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB. You're right, I probably would use the boost, but I want it to be completely fair by just judging the distortion side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
