** EDIT **

Added second video with Maxon OD-9 in place of the Bad Monkey. After comparing the OCD (to me) has more treble cut with the tone knob at noon than the standard fare overdrive pedals I've been using imo. For both videos the OCD was set to the "HP" mode. Rolling the tone lower than noon and/or using the "LP" mode may yield warmer results will continue to experiment.

Was experimenting with these two pedals today and they stack quite nicely imo! I set both generally as boosts (volume higher, gain lower).

The Fulltone OCD is doing the brunt of the boosting while the Bad Monkey adds a buttery midrange sheen on top of it. :lol: :LOL:

Recorded a quick clip of it, not sure how well it translated over but it feels great to play in the room.



Second video with Maxon OD-9 substituted. The high end is still present not ready to blame the Bad Monkey just yet. :lol: :LOL:

 
What is the order of the pedals? Bad Monkey into OCD?
 
That was all pedals through the clean in the beginning? Dang not bad at all.
 
Thanks for the comments. :)

The small clean part was the Twin, used an A/B box. :lol: :LOL:

The Monkey was first, very slightly boosting into the OCD. Amp was set to "70's rock crunch".

It didn't sound bad to me, but it sounded exactly how it should...if that makes sense lol

Understand completely. :thumbsup:

I'm always experimenting with stacking my various overdrives and EQ's and just happened to hit on this combination lol...
 
I prefer to just use the OCD with both it's gain and level up past noon on top of a fat low gain tone from the amp. That way you skip having that TS sheen and highend glaze over the tone from the Bad Monkey.
