Desert island overdrives

Re: Desert island overdrives

Only 2?

Then I'd go for maximum quality and versatility

Xotic Oz Noy (Both a classic Xotic AC and RC in one pedal)



And Origin RevivaDrive (Swiss Army OD)

Re: Desert island overdrives

If I'm on an island that has electricity to power an electric guitar rig I somehow suspect it may not be a desert island.



Strymon Riverside covers a lot of ground.

Batteries only!

A Boss Angry Driver.

Why? Because I'd have a Blues Driver which is my favorite dirt pedal ever, plus the Angry Charlie side which is totally different.
If that doesn't count as two, then I'd add a Zvex SHO. And before you argue it's a clean boost, it does get dirty on it's own when from 2 o' clock and up.

Re: Desert island overdrives

I'll take two Boss SD-1s.

One to use as an excellent versatile overdrive that can get me a great sound with any amp. The other for hammering tent pegs into dry ground.

And we are powering the amplifier with ........ ?

Re: Desert island overdrives

Technically speaking, on a desert island you are going to want pedals with AC -as how many batteries do you plan on bringing nd how long with they last?

With AC, you can Giligan Island with a jungle dynamo generator setup using waterfall, waves, trees in wind, exercise bike lol that naturally produces AC

People -you gotta think harder!

Re: Desert island overdrives

If you could only have two overdrives (or one double overdrive) and nothing else in your pedal chain, what would you choose? Distortion/fuzz will not be considered for this exercise, but dirty boosts will. I'm planning on making a dual overdrive.

Right now I'm thinking about a hotrodded Blues Driver/Tubescreamer combo. I've got quite a few potential mods lined up, but I'm also considering doing something less obvious, like maybe a Bluesbreaker/OCD combo.

What's your thoughts?

Interesting that distortions are not being considered since I consider the OCD a distortion because it has hard clipping.

Batteries and solar.

I mostly meant to disclude over the top styles of distortion. This pedal is going to be a more subtle overdrive, but I have considered an OCD/Ratt combo in the past. I'll probably consider it again too.

Re: Desert island overdrives

Fulltone pedals work really good with my equipment.
My set up would probably be:

Full Drive 2 ----> OCD ----> Amp
