On the hunt for the smoothest OD out there - help!

[dstroud]

Man, I've tried lots of boxes trying to get what you are looking for. Here's what I use and to me it's the best booster I've ever had...

https://cgi.ebay.com/BIYANG-OD-8-X-OVERD ... 439ffa7450

In the warm mode it is the tone you described. I bought 2 of them just to have 1 for backup.

The warm mode definitely sounds good. It's not exactly what I'm looking for but getting closer. Added to shopping list! Thanks man!

If you put that into an already slightly distorted amp (as opposed to clean like in this clip), it is super smooth and sustainy.

I think this is the same pedal without the the chip switch option and there are some clips too...

I've been looking at those recently. I dig their pickups a lot. Are the pedals any good?

I got the Biyang version off Ebay before GFS started selling these. If it is in fact the same pedal, I much prefer it over any stock or modded TS-9, Boss SD-1, Lovepedal Eternity or any of the BB boxes.

Wow, awesome!

Skreddy pedals.

I personally like a lot of the MI Audio stuff for what you are describing.
Have you thought about adding a Barber Tone Press to your arsenal for the violin like sound

I was looking at the MI Audio Crunch earlier. Might snag one for fun but I'm not sure it will cover the liquidy stuff. I have the Tone Press, just haven't used it much yet.

Thanks for the recommendations!

The Carl Martin sounds really good, lots of tone. Not sure if it has the gain or thickness on tap that I want but it might react well with high gain amps to get me what I want. I might just buy one.

What else we got? I'm on a pedal kick, willing to buy tons right now lol.

You can buy me a B.K. Butler Tube Driver if you'd like! I could certainly use one.

Get one for yourself while your at it.

lol, if I win the lottery tonight I seriously will.

Hey can I get in on that?

Maybe what I'll do if I win (everyone keep their fingers crossed) is buy like 10 pedals of some sort and do a giveaway on rig-talk.

I think the Blues Pro will suit you more than the Crunch Box.
The CB is a distortion box and the BP is an OD.

Cool, thanks Steve! I'll keep them in mind!

Wow, I really dig that! How much?

 

[Phrygian]

Okay, I'm gonna stop while I'm ahead and don't completely go nuts on spending (gotta keep some money for my Trailer Trash board).

I've decided on...

Lovepedal 200lbs
Skreddy Pig Mine
Carl Martin Hot Drive n Boost
Biyang OD-8

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'm gonna seek out these 4 pedals used and hopefully one or two of them nail it for me. The other two will stay in the studio. I may only buy two of them off the bat actually, we'll see.

Rock on!

If you get the Skreddy and don't like it, let me know.

I'm a slutty whore! I'm okay with it

About $125 street. Not that easy to find used though. One on ebay but the guy wants payment through Paymate...not familiar with it. I might give it a shot anyway.

Will do!

Did I mention I have a Suhr Riot and Turbo Tuner on the way? lol ...and of course the amp switcher from you!

Wow, that's not a bad price.

If you don't dig yours, let me know!

Hey guys

I'm not even sure if what I want exist, but I haven't given up hope. I'm looking for an OD that will turn my leads into the most smooth sounding, liquidy, violin-like tone ever. I wouldn't use it for everything, just when the mood calls for it. I want something stupid thick and lush. The nature of the gain has to be the important part here I think, considering I have OD pedals with EQ options and still haven't found what I'm looking for. A compressed tone would be fine too, as long as it nails what I'm looking for.

So...steer me in the right direction!

Thanks guys!

Matt

Looks to me like you've found what you're looking for, but I had to chime in and say I am really impressed with the Fulltone OCD... It's super smooth and buttery.

Just my 2 cents

Peace,
V.
