Barber Direct Drive = sweet tone!

[yngzaklynch]

bobtoz mailed this off to me just to try. Thanks Bob. I really like the Keeley SD-1 but was looking for a more aggressive pedal. Bob suggested this one. Well it's not really anymore aggressive IMHO. However... I actually like it more than my Keeley, which I've never experienced before. The BDD is warmer, maybe a hair more compressed. Just a fuller more musical overdrive tone. I think it adds a touch more sustain than the Keeley. I definitely will be adding one of these to my set up in the near future. I would love to A/B this with an OCD. I think this may be the best OD pedal I've every heard

Sorry, it was a bad attempt at a joke. You know even if you pick one up soon, it won't last long in your collection.

Pedals usually last a fair amount of time with me. Amps...

I have an old DD, and its my favorite OD pedal. I also have a Keeley TS9DX Flexi that is cool, but went with the DD more.

 

[mentoneman]

had the dd and was my main mid gain pedal for a few years until i "upgraded" to the maxon OD820.

i loved the pull/tone sound...the faux dumble

 

[yngzaklynch]

The tone pot is a push/pull pot???

I know the feeling of "good" ides flying through the head..

"Oh, what I could do with that!"

 

[AmpliFIRE]

I just bought one myself

Nice. Yeah the Tone knob is a push/pull and sounds really nice either way.

 

[danhops]

I used it both ways, but I prefer it pulled. I say used as I have not played a guitar in a looong time. Have none of my stuff at my place at the moment Self venting

 

[yngzaklynch]

I think I like it with the Tone knob pushed down but yeah either is very cool.

i saw it like this--

if you want a tighter more focused drive, keep it pushed in.

if you want thicker spongier touch with less grind, pull the control out.

i actually placed some washers under the tone knob so it would stay in the pulled position and not accidentally push in.
