How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Young Angus

I just got my third OD/distortion pedal and am totally hooked on different flavours of gain...I WANT MORE!!!

There is already one more I know I want and they are all expensive boutique type ones.

Tonebone Hot British, Ulbrick 12axe, and the latest addition being a T-Rex Dr. Swamp :D All different and all great...I can see myself becoming a total pedal hoarder!

Oh and I've also got a Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz but I don't use that because it's not very friendly to other pedals :foot:
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Hmm...

-2 Pro Co Rats
-Bixonic Expandora
-TS-9 reissue
-DS-1 (Spina modded)
-SD-1
-Lovetone Brown Source
-Banzai Cold Fusion
-Duncan Pickup Booster
-Duncan Tweak Fuzz
-Duncan Twin Tube
-Fulltone Ultimate Octave
-Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz
-Big Muff

Not out of control at all! In fact there are a few more on the list!
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

I only need three (at the moment....... :-) )..........Boss od 20, sansamp GT 2 , boss bd2
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

SFX-03
Boss DS-1
Boss GE-7 (EQ used as OD sometimes)

I have tried just about everything Boss makes at one time or another and sold it off. Out of the bunch some of the better ones were...... OD-3, BD-2, and the discontinued Turbo Overdrive.

hmmm....

ROG's tube reamer
behringer tube screamer clone
ibanez tube king
a pretty bare bones booster
FAB OD (how could I forget, my love?)

but I NEED a boss blues OD, a blue magic, a bsiab, and the monroe drive. and I miss my ol' super OD (good luck, wherever you are!)

and if I saw a Jeckyl and Hyde needing a ride on the street I'd give it a lift.

2 x TS-9s modded and a boss OD-3 w/ the supra mod....keeping it pretty simple but i am gonna add a blues driver with the H2O mod soon after hearing how amazingly transparent it is
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

I've got two TS9 reissues and a Fulltone Fulldrive, I'm only at 3...I think I'm doin good. I am thinking of picking something up for more gain. Maybe a modded DS-1 or something.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

currently just have the

SD-1 Super Overdrive
MTE-1 Arion Tubulator
and Rocktron Rampage

...and I still think thats more than I want when hooked up at the same time

I used to have more but I got so sick of too many, especially since when all hooked up, I'd get lost in my choices and forgot to play music rather than play with my pedals.


I'm becoming rather fond of simplicity (OT: so much in fact, I fell in love with the epiphone valve jr which bares only 1 knob haha)

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE pedals and I think they are truley the key to getting great sound from cheaper amps and high end amps but too many at once strangles my mind, and music should be about freedom not stress.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Modded TS-7
Marshall Supa-Fuzz
Carl Martin Plexitone
Vox Bulldog
Digitech Bad Monkey

I'm thinking I've got one more, but I can't think of what it is.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

2 Big Muffs (1 russian, 1 usa)
Boss Heavy Metal
Dod Grunge
Dod Supra Distortion

And really thats Way more than I Need, being as the only one I actually ever use (other than when recording) is The Russian Bigmuff.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

I don't make enough to get everything I want :) (I'm probably not alone in this)

But I do have a Zoom GFX8, multieffects unit. It'll have to do for now.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

It just recently got out of control for me, and now that I'm here I'll probably add a few more. I've got a bunch of different tube preamps, so I don't really NEED more than one or two of these, but it's just so fun popping in different fizzle boxes, isn't it?

Tubulator (x3)
Boss Super Overdrive Japan
Boss DS-1 Taiwan
Boss DS-1 Taiwan-Modded
Danelectro Daddy-O
DOD Supra Distortion
Ibanez LA Metal (used as clean boost with slight fuzz)

As for the Seymour Duncan products, I think rather than buy them I'll just "heavily test" the prototypes for an indeterminate amount of time...
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

i have a bunch of them.... mostly Boss type stuff.... nothing fancy.. i don't use OD too much i use Distortions.... But when i need an OD for gooseing a preamp i use a late 80's TS10 Tube Screamer or and early 80's Tokia
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Boss SD-1 (modded)
Boss DS-1 (modded)
MXR ZW-44
Dallas Rangemaster clone (can get some good distortion)
A couple other homemade circuits

Funny thing is, I don't use any of them in my rig. I like the sounds I'm getting from my amp. Now, if I were using my Marshall head or a single-channel tube combo, like the Mission Aurora I so badly want, then I'd toss an OD pedal on the floor for a nice kick and dial the amp "cleaner".

Hardly out of control with what I have but if I built all the ones I breadboarded, then I'd be close to it. ;)
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

For now, just 2.... Barber Direct Drive and an MI Audio Crunchbox. I do see a plexitone in my future.

Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Korg ToneWorks G1
Tech 21 Double Drive Limited Ed
Boss Dual Overdrive
Digitech Tone Driver
Digitech Screamin Blues
Visual Sounds Route 66

I really prefer amp overdrive, but it's nice to experiment with these too.
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Looking at how much I've spent on pedals I could have easily bought an amp instead....and a very good amp at that. I finally told myself enough, it gets too expensive, work with what I have and it's down to:

(with my LP):
Digitech Bad Monkey
Barber Direct Drive SS
ZVEX Bock of Rock
Boss DD-3

(with my Tele):
Aphex compressor
Boss DD-3
 
Re: How many OD pedals do you have now...is it out of control yet?

Boss DS-1.

In the past I've owned and used:
-Danelectro Black Coffee Metal Distortion
-Digitech Hot Head

Still have the Digitech, trying to find a way to open it up actually.
