BEST OD to use on already distorted amp??

[mooncobra]

I've got an original Cusack Screamer. They're great pedals I usually dime the level and run the gain at about 9:00.

+1

I`m seeing a lot of love for the Cusack Screamer and I`m guessing it`s in the Tube Screamer family ? I use my ODs as a clean boost with the volume up and rarely add any gain from the pedal. Does the Cusack tighten up the bass and add a little saturation when used as a clean boost?

It sure does. The added toggle for clipping works great and allows you to use even less from the pedal. Very quiet pedal. I run mine with the level at half and gain at 25% or even less with the toggle in the right position. It adds clarity and the mids are not harsh at all. I have had many and this one is my favorite bar none. I recommended it to another member and he loved it.

Thanks for the info I`ll probably give this pedal a shot

it tightens it up and gives it a little more clarity and definition. I always kept the gain down next to nothing and always had the level/volume almost dimed. killer pedal

I use a Timmy. Keeps the amps charactics

You can really spend some dough going down this road. Just get another Screamer V2. Great quiet pedal. A klon type works also but is different than the TS types. I use the Cussack, Timmy, and KTR but the Cussack is used most. I have had many including the Koko. I like the Timmy better, although the Koko is good.Cannot beat this price for new.

Good advice above....Timmy is perfect for this, as well as the Lovepedal OD11. The Greer Tonesmuggler is good for a little kick and volume boost as well.

I agree. The Timmy and Cusack are my favorites

I been using a Timmy for the last 7 years. Does the transparent OD awesome. Just adding that extra "UMPH" when you want it.

The Timmy sounded flubby in front of my crunchy JMP. I just bought a Brown Sugah pedal from TGP classified section. Will let you know how it does.

I just want a pedal that adds a bit of tight gain, yet doesn't suck the low end out.

I like using the Xotic AC Booster hitting the front end of my Krank Nineteen80 Jr. amp head. It makes my lead guitar tone sing and I find the EQ usable.

I keep the bass low on mine.

Most of the time, I couldn't tell if the Timmy was on or off unless I looked at the LED! Way too close to parity gain most of the time.

Ive had the same problem with the Timmy even when I kept the bass pot fairly low

+1 for the Cusack V2. The toggle really comes in handy man. Through my Jcm800, I love it in the middle position(the one that makes the LED light up). Thru my Wizard MC2, the toggle sounds best to the right.
Very quiet Pedal and extremely well made.

Xotic AC booster,for me it is awesome to add cream and sustain to my lead channel, very useful the two eq

I've long used a Maxon od808 and still love it. Recently got a Keeley red dirt and can't stop using it. It adds something I really just love.
