Love Pedal Pedals?

[spawnofthesith]

These seem to be pretty cool pedals, and I am GASing hard based on PGS vids. I have only recently gotten into experimenting with dirt boxes, and I'm loving my OCD and offing my TS7. What is the general consensus on Love Pedals? I am currently eyeing the Kanji 9, seems like a really nifty and diverse pedal

 

[Capulin Overdrive]

they have some pretty damned good pedals.

the Eternity is a pretty hard to beat, so would guess the Kanji 9 is pretty shit hot.


i had an Eternity and regret selling it as sounded so damned good, my only issue with it was that it was little noisey. but by noisey i'm talking about there only being a very select few with a lower noise floor.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Sweet, How did you run yours when you had it?

I read somewhere that the Kanji pedals are modified versions of the TS circuit, is this true?

 

[glassjaw7]

I love my Eternity. I run it several ways: As a clean boost for my dirty channel, a bluesy grind through the clean channel, or gain cranked through the clean channel.

Unlike most TS's/od's the Lovepedals are actually usable throughout the whole gain range.

which Eternity of the 100 different versions did you have?

hell if i know?

it was hand painted, and was supposed to be worth more than the imports.

You have an OCD right? How does it compare to that? Is it different enough for one to easily justify owning both?

Explain pls.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Also, where are these things made? I was doing some searching online and seeing all sorts of things about how some are handwired, others are not, so on and so forth.

Yeah, definitely worth owning both. The Eternity has similarities to a TS, but is much clearer and open sounding. It doesn't "squeeze" your tone as much as an 808 and it isn't harsh at all like a TS9 can be with the tone up. Works great as a boost, but also great as it's own gain source.

The OCD is a completely different animal. More like an amp in the way that it responds and the dynamics are crazy.(as in good ) I find that I like the OCD as a mild bluesy drive mostly for chording. I don't like it as much for boosting an already overdriven amp. Some people swear by it as a boost. I was unhappy with it at one point because it doesn't have the mid hump that most of my other drive pedals have, and I was trying to use it with the gain cranked for playing leads. IMO, that's just not what the OCD is all about. It's a great low gain pedal and has that realistic tube amp grit and sparkle, but there are pedals that are much better for a middy singing lead tone

IMO a tube screamer is great when used as a boost, but not much else. Maybe with a good 808 you can get that SRV tone with the gain cranked up through your amp's clean channel, but for the most part it sounds like a pedal and not like an amp.
With the Lovepedal, I could play an entire classic rock or blues gig with just a clean channel and the gain cranked on the Eternity because it is much more organic and realistic sounding like an amp. quality stuff.

Also, where are these things made? I was doing some searching online and seeing all sorts of things about how some are handwired, others are not, so on and so forth.

As far as I know they are all made in Michigan. Mine is pre-serial number and is handwired. Not sure if they're doing things differently now.

I agree +100000 on the OCD. I really don't like it that much as a boost for an already overdriven tube amp. I like the BB Preamp more because it's clear sounding, the OCD sounds like it adds a layer of an almost mushy response. I got the V3 OCD so I can flip it for a lot on Ebay thanks to Gearmandude's OCD comparison video where he made the V3 sound the best.

Sweet, well I'm sold. After I get a phaser and a board to actually put my pedals on, one of these things will be in my sights. Hopefully they won't sell out in that time

I had a Lovepedal 200lbs of crap fuzz pedal.

Couldn't get rid of that thing fast enough.

Don't know anything about the other pedals.

COT = Church Of Tone. It's a cult that buys all the different variations of the same pedals with slight value component changes, different paint schemes, etc. It is a great gimmick.

Yeah. I went though buying a bunch of booteek pedals phase. I'm done with it. What a waste of time.

I started down that road with the pedals...I'm done, it is pretty ridiculous.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Ok, so how might the Kanji compare to the Mad Professor Little Green Wonder if it is a TS type pedal? (the cb version of course, the handwired is way too pricey)

seriously, I'm guilty as well. I don't know why I even bothered buying that XTS Precision Overdrive a couple weeks ago, I should have known

OCD version 4 is da bomb...not version 1, version 2 or version 3.

But it's best to own them all, because they can all serve a different purpose.

I honestly don't know, I wouldn't buy a Lovepedal or a Mod Professor pedal. if you want a Tubescreamer, buy a Tubescreamer.

I had a TS7 and just offed it today actually. I didn't really like that one, but I don't know how it would compare to say an OD808 or TS9

Hint, the Maxon OD808 is the fucking balls for a metal 'tightening' boost.
