Re: Boss OD3
I had a Blues Jr and the SD-1 was too bright with it., The OD3 is fatter and more balanced. Very transparent, no mid-bump like the TS. Although I currently use a Bad Monkey I like a lot (better than any Ibanez TS). If you can get one used, give it a shot, I'd be surpised if you didn't like it. It gets amazing reviews, yet noone talks about it. It's always SD-1 or DS-1. Go figure.

I have a Bad Monkey and it is servicable....is the OD3 any more open sounding?

Re: Boss OD3
Yes, to me it's more balanced, no mid spike, so a little more open, transparent. As if it only added gain to your sound, and very little color. I'd like to try one with my actual setting. I'm currently gasing for various OD pedals.
I have to warn you though that I use HB exclusively... so I can't really speak for its tone with SC. That is a major factor of the equation.

Until channel 1 on the SD Twin Tube the OD3 was my favorite lower gain pedal.

Garrett, the CB is perfect for my marshall-type tone. :smokin: I am looking for something Fendery to work transparently with my junior...less gainy and very natural.
Joe, dont pay any attention to Sly, he doesnt even know what he likes yet
Is the CB not working out or are you just looking for another flavor?

Re: Boss OD3
I was after a blues pro and can't find one used.
I can't justify $120.00 for a dirt box.....hopefully an OD3 might be what the Dr. ordered.
I've never used one but it sounds like it may be in the ballpark. Happy hunting
