Members derekbuc Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have an epiphone les paul standard, and I'm lookin for a pedal that would give a nice sound for open chords, ala pearl jam, blind melon, etc. I'm starting a cover band and the Boss DS-1 has a good lead tone, and is good for power chords, but not really for open chords. I was thinking about a Boss OD-3, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members revontulet Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 Spend a little more and get a Fulltone OCD, you might pick one up 2nd hand for a decent price on eBay. Everyone around here loves them and it's easy to see why; very musical overdrive, lets your amp shine through and you can hear each note ringing clearly, not mushing up. Alternatively, Voodoo Labs Sparkledrive may be another option. Play them both and choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members derekbuc Posted March 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 Cool, thanks! I heard the Ibanez Tubescreamer is good for an epi, but I've never heard one first hand. I'll have a look for a OCD. I have a Fender Frontman 212R amp, the clean tone is nice, but the amp distortion is absolutely disgusting! Very noisy and muddy, so it has to be a stompbox really.

Members pbone Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 I do a lot of open chords, and mah new Skreddy Screwdriver does it better than the OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members houseofglass21 Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 OCD. Clips of the screwdriver I've heard don't sound as good as the OCD, IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catsandstrats Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 You are looking for an overdrive...not a distortion. Now just listen to a few and choose your favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
