Woot.
Been hunting around for a nice OD that'd stack well with my OCD but would be smooth, not super compressed, and give me a bit of a voicing bump for leads. This fit the bill, quite nicely, has a nicer look than my old TS9 which I never bonded with, and had me chuffed as nuts when I tried it in store today alongside an OCD and a Soul Food. I don't know what it is about the soul food, but I just don't like it at all.
and with the rest of my modest pedalboard
How's it sound?
to my ears, it's a bit more open than a tube screamer. It's still got a similar mid bump, but it's not as obnoxious, and the low end is a bit fuller. Stacks amazingly well with my OCD. Smooths out the OCD's fuzzy decay on the high gain stuff, and with low to medium gain, the two really sing together.
I'm more or less going to use the OCD in LP mode to add some totally open, natural sounding hair around the edges so to speak, as a low-medium gain boost, and then I'll use the East River Drive as a lead boost mostly, but also set for a low-medium gain sound, so I can add/subtract gain without changing channels on my amp. I modded the GE-7 with a monte allums mod that dramatically increased its clarity, openness and shimmer, so I basically use that as a clean boost (always on) - It adds a little extra liveliness to my whole rig, which is nice.
so yeah. First pedal purchase in quite a few years. I'm happy with it.
