ROSS (not BOSS) distortion pedal. If a MXR Dist + messed around with it’s cousin’s Fuzz, this would be the offspring

Not a distortion but the fultone ocd was the most over-rated piece of gear I’ve ever seen. I said it.

Generally agree with this. But there are some things that are just so bad that it's impossible to get any kind of usable tone. Gorilla amps, and the DOD American Metal pedal fall into this category.

I will truly never understand the hype... Was managing a few music stores at the time and dude's would just flock in and buy them.... "True Bypass" "better than a Klon" ...
Pedal couldn't hang with a supra distortion LOL

The Carl Martin Plexitone. The gold one. My first lesson in buying pedals demo'd by Pete Thorn. That dude makes everything sound good, but I HATED that pedal lol

It's a really good OD but the level of hype on forums around it's release was probably on a level never seen by any OD pedal before or since.

Came to post this same pedal. It's the dullest sounding distortion pedal I ever heard.

It might be loser error but I didn't get along real well with Suhr Koko boost nor the Pepers Dirty Tree. Just too over the top and hard to control the gain. Much prefer the simple and trusty SD1 and Bad Monkey for clean OD boosting.

I decided to get out and compare some overdrive, boost and distortion pedals with a THD Univalve.
So far the amp sounds best without them.

I believe the OCD is a underrated boost for high gain. Some complain it's not as tight as a TS but plenty of amps don't need that much low cut - Marshall derivatives especially. The OCD's lack of mid-hump and switchable high shelf make it really useful in lots of situations where a TS sounds honky or lacking teeth. I am running the Univalve moderate crunch. Adding the OCD V2 and Zuul+ for more saturation and gain.
I probably would not have plugged it in if not mentioned in this thread.

I do not like any distortion pedals . They just sound synthetic compared to real tube distortion

Exactly
But for whatever reason I keep trying different pedals with different amps.
If I turn up the amp to get a similar sound with just the amp. The amp alone always feels and sounds better.

I recently bought a used Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret from a local GC. I couldn't even get a usable sound out of it and I'm not being dramatic. It was horrible. Returned the next day.
It was used, so who knows....

DigiTech Grunge and nothing else is close. Quickest pedal I've ever sold.

Depends on the amps you've used. It somehow works with fairly dark - not super muddy - ones. Bright amps are a no-no.
