After unsuccessfully trying the TC MojoMojo in my guitar rig, I decided to let it go rather than keeping it, even though it did work nicely in the bass rig. Nice overdrive, not for me.
Enter in the Boss OD-3. I've read a lot of nice reviews about it and watched a really good comparison video between it and its cousin, the OD-1. I've tried pretty much all the Boss overdrives over the years and I have to say, aside from the old OD-1, the OD-3 is the best, IMO. This is what I was looking for. It doesn't get muddy (unless you're pushing the drive max in to an overly saturated amp and at that point, anything will get muddy), the Tone control actually has a usable range, the Level, even at noon, provides a nice kick in volume.
I'm running my amp with a nice crunchy breakup that cleans up well and use the OD-3 to put it in the higher gain territory. The only problem I have is whether I want my amp on the 70's JMP or the 80's JCM setting (see the Vox AV30 for details). Both sound good with it. It arrived yesterday afternoon and I literally got home, unboxed it and took it to rehearsal. The band setting was the first use after I dialed it in. Fiddled with it a little bit early on when we got going but I think I found the optimal setting.
Boss does it again.
