Members Mel Cooley Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Originally posted by Richard Guy No votes for the Nobels ODR-1? It's my fav "cheap" lite hair overdrive (which is almost all I use these days). It colors my sound just a little bit when off, otherwise it's a champ. I'd like to have something slightly more transparent but I know I'm gonna have to shell much bigger $$ for that. Thus the green Nobels makes due marvelously.

Members LoneStarGuitar Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Originally posted by DaSkip Sorry, to add fuel to the flame, but my Zendrive 2 arrived today. I'll be taking a test drive this very evening. On a side note, I bought the new Joe Bonamassa "You & Me" cd today. If you like Blues/Rock run your ass down to the store and buy it now! Tons-O-Licks to learn. Speaking of Bonamassa, i think he is coming to Ft Worth in abut a month. Did a quick once ofver of Star Time this past friday and I recall seeing his name.

Eternity? ZENDRIVE??? Good grief. Now, the CORRECT answer would be the Xotic RC Booster, but yeah, the timmy ain't bad, but it never made my board -john OCD and Eternity - I wouldn't say they are.. ...I'd call the Zendrive a low gain however.

Members smilefan Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 This one. No fooking contest. Nothing else does what it does. Totally touch-sensitive low-gain American amp vibe in a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skr3ddy Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 Originally posted by Spydog1985 Sweet:o So when you turn those knobs clockwise (that's to the right;) ) and they get high gain, you call those pedals low gain pedals? I guess my Diezel is low gain then, rite? My Mesa recto rack? My Boss Metalzone? Basically everything with a gain or volume knob is low gain then? Sweet. You're a retard. maybe you should think before you make an ass out of yourself:wave: -John *votes for the RC Booster and Timmy still here. I don't think i'll suggest a metalzone as a low gain pedal anytime soon. Obviously they're talking about pedals that sound GOOD at low gain settings. A 5150 amp or a Boss Metalzone wouldn't qualify since they're designed with high gain in mind. Some pedals sound great at low gain settings, even though they do more than just that. I'm sure that's the point, and I'm sorry for pointing out the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 My favorite low gain OD (low gain due to the way I run it) is the Skreddy Screw Driver. It is voiced just perfect with great dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members erksin Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 Timmy and COT50 Red for me... I don't think I'd have classified the Screw Driver as a low-gainer, but it works well for it - same with the Hellbilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Hey arjae, I'm still loving that trio of pedals that you partially inspired me to get. I might have to sell the RC to fund a Deluxe Reverb though. But with that amp I can just use the breakup of the amp instead of the RC (I was using it to simulate breakup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is hard to classify a lot of OD's. I try and classify them based on how they work best for me. To me, the Screw Driver excels at low gain settings. But yes, there is plenty of gain on tap within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, its guys like spydog that gives TGP a bad rep for being a bunch of cork-sniffers that wouldn't know a GREAT Boss pedal if it punched them in the face with brass knuckles.

Members Arjae Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Originally posted by Spydog1985 Nah, i like to stop by both actually...i try to keep a well balanced arsenal of both amps and pedals, so both forums are applicable thank you:) but man, i always seem to forget how ignorant and uninformed *SOME* of you HCFX folk can be... I'm goin back to TGP. I can't handle so much stupidity. love ya, -John:) *Note to Skr3ddy ("Obviously they're talking about pedals that sound GOOD at low gain settings") I think the title of the thread is "Best Low Gain OD" not "Best Mid to High Gain pedal in a Low Gain setting" Stupidity = calling the RC Booster an OD.
