  • NPD: Custom overdrive.

    Hey guys i thought i'd start off with something a bit more interesting than a "hi im so and so" post

    This is something that i have been working on for a little while now.

    It's kinda a hybrid design borrowing from the Maxon OD808 & the Fulltone OCD (more so the maxon)

    The cut switch is NOT the HP/LP switch from the OCD it is actually a 100hz high pass that also boosts the lower midrange a bit.

    This pedal retains a little more low end than both of the pedals that i borrowed from which is why i added in the cut switch.



    The labelling was my first successful attempt and creating my own screens.

    It isn't as good as i would have liked but it will do for now.

    Oh yeah also i was advised to come and sign up over here by Twilight-Odyssey & Brow as the ship i was taking on water so to speak.

    Also just for a bit more information.

    I play metal guitar primarily and i'm a major DIY enthusiast and have built many pedals and a few amps.

    Amplifier wise this is my gem!

      Hi Tony -- welcome to the boards!

      Duncanites -- I've known Tony for a couple/few years. He is a refugee from another forum, please be neighbourly!

      Haven't seen the pedal before; looks great. Like the "Fender'" ish type face.

          i wouldnt say i designed it i borrowed the parts i liked from both and mashed them together and edited the voicing a little.

          And thanks

              Hey Tony!

              The pedal looks awesome, and if it sounds anywhere near as good as your SLO clone does then youre onto a winner!

                            I was going to ask what that amp was... an SLO clone, huh? Cool

                              Are those 6L6s in the SLO clone? Is it a 50-watter?
