Nice setup! I was always wet/dry curious but never did it

I used to love my ZWod too but also grew tired of the excess noise. I grabbed the MXR M77 Custom Badass Modified Overdrive hoping it would give a similar flavor with less noise and more options. Silly name for a pedal but it delivers.
 
-I used 2 OCD's, one was always on-(level up,.. gain low)-the second one was set up as a lead boost-(both level & gain low so there wouldn't be too much volume jump)-

-also used to run them parallel-(one with an old DYNA-COMP)-

-now I just use an old rack mount stereo EQ-(I MODDED it so that I can use one side of the stereo eq as a clean boost-(with tone shaping)-then the other side of the EQ as a foot switchable lead boost-(with even more tone shaping)-

Curious as why the OCD stands out for you guys over all the thousands of other boosts/overdrives.
It's not noisy.
It doesn't fuck with your tone.
It's super adjustable.
It's open sounding and can really add flavour to anything from clean-to-mean, or mean-to-lean.

Superior circuitry, and Fulltone's in the business of knowing quality gear. Simple. Everyone's tastes are different - but for me? Never gelled with any of the TS or similar noise makers. To me they just covered up sloppy playing. The OCD is a pimp stomp - and YMMV.

It's all just personal preferences.
 
I went back to 18 volts, got a bit more kick on high peak.


Ventura thats a good description of how the OCD works. :thumbsup:

Just my honest take on what I feel is a great stomp. I've gone through - literally - hundreds of stomps... I've kept the ones that were special, different, unique or "exceptional in their usability". Like I said a few posts above, I don't often use OD (or many FX at all for that matter, must be an age thing :lol: :LOL: ), but of the stomps I've kept, they're all awesome in their own right. I can't tell you how many times I tried this brand or model of OD or boost or whatnot - the only OD that's left out of the bunch that I kept is my OCD. It's all personal preference - no right no wrong.
 
Tweak the fan a little.

Not feeling it..

Sr sly, Dan keep practicing. ...you seem uh, stiff...calm down, not everyone can be as bad ass as reza.

OCD 18 volt wanking ...

That's a pretty cool tone. I'd back off the chorus a lot. I like it where you can just barely tell it's there. Pretty cool, though. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Willy, i went back to 9 volts on the OCD, its a little sweeter. :thumbsup:
