I've got an EHX OD Glove (Fulltone OCD clone) and its confusing the hell out of me. I've run it as so:
1: Into EVH 100 w
3: Same crappy combo but with T.Rex Mudhoney after Glove
4: Same crappy combo but with Mudhoney before Glove
Anybody care to explain to me why I'm getting the ****ty results I'm getting? I would've thought for sure the Glove would be even worse with the practice amp than my fancy 100w head, what with all the extra headroom in both amp and pedal. But nope.
Guitar tuned way down to C. Both Glove and Mudhoney cranked on the gain and volume cranked on first pedal in the chain when plugged into ****ty combo.
1: Into EVH 100 w
- Sparkling clean green channel, both 9 & 18v mode.
- Slightly dirty blue channel, just past point of breakup, 9v mode.
- Overdriven blue (gain somewhere past noon), both 9 & 18v.
- Red channel, from noon til about 3 - just layers and layers of distortion, both 9 & 18v mode.
3: Same crappy combo but with T.Rex Mudhoney after Glove
4: Same crappy combo but with Mudhoney before Glove
- Into the EVH clean channel it basically just does the clean boost thing unless I crank the pedal gain. Then it sounds like an awful, farting dirty boost.
- Into the blue channel it sounds awful as well, unless pedal gain is completely rolled back. Like farting through a broken speaker.
- Into the red channel it works alright as a solo boost, even with gain up.
- Into crappy practice combo I can roll the gain all the way up and get a decent OD sound. No farting, no broken speaker.
- Into Mudhoney I get a pretty nice fuzz, actually. Not bad at all, considering I generally don't like fuzzes.
- With Mudhony into Glove, I get an even more extreme fuzz. Still not bad, but this seems counter intuitive to me, since the Glove is supposed to have more headroom?
