Members mattpas Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 What has more gain the Catalinbread SCOD or the Subdecay Blackstar?Also, which one do you guys like more?
Members 6StrngStrangler Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 I have a SCOD, great overdrive pedal, I never played a Blackstar, but fom what I gather, you can get Metal Tones out of it. So I would say they are different, which sound are you looking for?
Members capnbringdown Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 Out of those two, I'd take the scod, but I haven't played either and am not a big fan of dist/od pedals, so that's probably not very helpful.
Members FLYING V 83 Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 Had a Blackstar, still have a SCOD. Different flavors of gain, the SCOD is way smoother and the Star can get pretty mean. Won't do metal though, just high gain. My SCOD is my Santana-in-a-box pedal.
Members waveman Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 SCOD is not metal pedal for sure. Like it says on the tin, it's an overdrive. I get more gain out of my Vodka modded SD-1 honestly, and it ain't no metal pedal neither. Blackstar is on my list to try, and I am sure it is more metally. Can I recommend a Tube Zone?
Members space cred Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 anything can be metal with the right amount of volume. especially the SCOD.
Members Brian Marshall Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 They are two totally different sounds. The SCOD is awesome. I know Kevin keeps saying (flyingV 83) keeps saying the Blackstar will not do metal... but most owners will disagree.
Members Hand Amputation Posted February 15, 2007 Members Posted February 15, 2007 Id love to try both.The SCOD looks very interesting.As does the Blackstar.
Members mattpas Posted February 15, 2007 Author Members Posted February 15, 2007 I really appreciate the responses but I never said I wanted to do metal. I don't play metal I just wanted to get comparisons and opinions on the 2 pedals. From searches through the threads it seems the SCOD is a huge favorite around here. I recently tried both and I really love the SCOD so I have one on the way. Thanks again for all the help

Kinda reminds me of Triumph's Spellbound, but less processed sounding...I really want to try this pedal, and will.

I liked the Blackstar a lot, just not for what I wanted it for, which is a mid-scooped Metallica/Pantera type of sound. I agree it'll do Judas Priest-type metal in spades and don't think there's a better pedal out there for that kind of stuff. I guess my definition of "metal" isn't everyone else's.
