Members mrweems Posted December 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 so would you say it can get into 90's alternative rock sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratStevo Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 If it requires a good distorted sound, than I would say yes! I know that answer sucked, the SCOD has got to be the funnest pedal I have used in almost 40 years of playing, the cascading design is truly "touch sensitive" and if my house was on fire and I had a chance to grab it on my way to the door......I would It's tight, focused and has endless sustain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbbeSauniere Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 It will do Stoner, Classic Rock, 90s Alternative, etc...Won't do Thrash, Death Metal, or anything where you need a really tight percussive distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HMCMedic Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'll take my SCOD over my vintage Rat any day. Here's my SCOD clip:thu: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=383900&songID=4489642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used a SCOD but the Keeley Rat is a one trick pony, despite the mode switch. Who knows, maybe 90's alternative is its one trick (a definition of 90's alternative would be nice, are we talking Oasys? Radiohead? Pop years Nirvana?), it's to fuzzy for me personally.

Members -todgemistro- Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 Originally posted by StratStevo I suck but....Its the {censored}! I love the tone on that clip. It almost made me buy one to go with my HRDx but I dont know if I really want one now I got my Laney Do they sound good on a crunchy clean channel of a bright amp with EL34s do you know? Probably a bit too specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrweems Posted December 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 basically heavy low end kind of distortion.. but still remains clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JDandCoke Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 its amazing dirt! i have the vintage rat and i havnt even turned it on since i got my SCOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 If you can try it before you buy it that would probably be a good idea. I had one recently and it didn't like my rectifier at all. I couldn't get it to maintain any clarity on the low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keeley Rat is very versatile and can be used as a distortion and an OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yablokonooza Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 Cool clips! The SCOD is a fantastic pedal: an insta-Clutch dirtpile - although I still use an old whiteface RAT, the SCOD receives far more usage as the go-to distortion/OD.cheers!

Members NITEFLY182 Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 Its a possibility, it didn't like my VJ much either. Ive heard from a few builders that amps with bright caps dont usually sound good with fuzzes or drives because everyone designs pedals on a deluxe reverb.

Ha, thats funny! +1 So mr "C" Should I buy one of your pedals over a Mod'd RatII? I've been fond of your work for some time now, and have been meaning to get somthing, with that whole ordeal with the Trem.. And a quick question.. Is the cover of the SCOD leather/pleather? It does not look like a normal cover..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Clutch. I want to go to MD visit my greatgrandfather (still alive and independant!) and spend a day with Clutch. Every SCOD reminds me of a few things, not because of the sound but because of additude. 1.) Ween's "I'll Be Your Johnny On The Spot""got a chevy with a mopar cam" which I change to "got a mopar with an RV cam" 2.) Clutch's "Spacegrass" 3.) I'd rather be out driving my lead sled.

It does not look like a normal cover..? Early Catalinbread were covered in a marine vinyl. It was impossible to work with. So I stopped it. If you find a vinyl covered SCOD we only made 20 like it. It certainly needs a circuit update. I can't do pedal recomendations. Biased oppinion, obviously. Thing to do is email Tonefactor or Axeandyoushallreceive. Tell them the sounds you are aiming for they will point you in the right direction even if that means a different brand! Either way I am happy as long as you're getting the sounds you want.
