Members Idlewilde Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I would go with a Pure Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lostandfoundpdx Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 it depends... do you want "dirt" or smootheness, or power amp saturaton kinda, what are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kishjor Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 my lpb-1 is on its way home so maybe that would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kishjor Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 well, i heard good things about the danelectro paisley drive or whatever it is called. can't go wrong with a fulltone ocd. but that is more distortion. huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sense_of_henry Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am loving my Epiphone Dot Deluxe through my OCD on low-gain settings running with some natural amp OD (Ashdown Peacemaker 40W). It tastes like chicken. *I should add that it also goes through (among other pedals) a MXR 10-band EQ and Keeley Compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Non de Guerre Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was using the Red Snapper side of my Fish Factory alongside a SHO/SD2-1 with a 330 & AC30/Sound City for a long time quite happily. The Snapper isn't mid-humped and does moderate overdrive pretty well. The SHO is of course a little bright but that's what I tend to go for. I've heard the Catalinbread boost is a real killer unit, but no first hand experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonaboy Posted January 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 clarification: what i'm asking for is a dual circuit unit - OD + Boost should be transparent, natural clipping, medium gain, with a good tone sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kishjor Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 well for boost go for the lpb-1. i just got mine and... :love: :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lostandfoundpdx Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 i see.... so you want two footswitches? i dunno about that, i wold vote for the newly re-designed silver kiss if you need a versatile boost/OD. the eqs are super responsive and but i would get two pedals if i were you, that way if you are unhappy with one, you can change it. doesnt someone have a jeckyl and hyde in the spam thread? they are super popular...

Members Eric Dahlberg Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 The Banzai Fireball fits the bill perfectly. Super amp-like break up, natural midrange that accentuates a thick 335 sound without making it honky the way a TS9 would do, & a boost that adds saturation, not just volume. That's the one Robben Ford uses to get his tone when a Dumble isn't available & he plays (played? Not sure what he's playing these days) a similar sort of guitar.

Members EL KABONG Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 i'd sell you my insane gain which is 3 lpb1's in a row cascaded but I like having it around too much its a keeper. I have to say though that if you have the means i highly recomend that you pickup a klon while the price is still reasonable yes i just said that. It's more natural sounding than the LPB 1 in that it feels like it peels your skull back and lets the tone hit you smack in the brain without making it filter thru your ears skin tissue etc. it is a psychadelic feeling playing the klon.

FD-2? the flat mids is pretty transparent and it gets a bit more gain IMO. it seems to me the way to go is get a transparent boost (rocktron austin gold) and boost it into whatever OD is your flavor. but yeah, i think the FD2 is nice.
