First of all...it's built like a TANK!!!
I kid you not...i know people throw that work around...but this thing really is probably the smallest but heaviest pedal on my board! Simple looking but i really dig the creamy color scheme!!!
I played it by itself first to get a feel of the pedal and how it interacts with my guitar and amp. I know what they mean now when people have bragged about it's dynamics and note clarity...even under some pretty heavy saturation/distortion! Very nice!!!
The tone control has a really nice sweep that can get you down and dirty or add some top end jangle!
It can cover Marsally sounds and can even cop some overdriven Fender sounds as well!
I was really impressed with the amount of gain on tap (and this is a knock on V4), more than i'll ever need!
Next, i started adding pedals to the mix and running through some songs i usually play, with special focus on Revelation Song because it's the one song i definitely plan on doing Sunday morning.
I added in my Pitchblack (of course), my Red Repeat, Classic Chorus, and at first my Soul Vibe and switched to the middle position on my PT and practiced a nice soft melodic/ambient intro to the song. I dialed back the volume on the OCD to around 10oclock, the tone to 1oclock and the drive at about 9oclock to give it just i touch of dirt with my guitars volume knob rolled back and enough there to give when i dig in with my pick attack as the song builds! It worked like a champ!!! I really liked how it responded to my picking and enhanced the overall sound of my rig. I ended up switching out the Vibe for my Classic Flange though and everything sounded even better!!!
I also messed around with the order of the pedals quite a bit to see where each one sounded and reacted with each other the best...and found a really, really good chain of Guitar-Pitchblack-Classic Flange-OCD-Classic Chorus-Red Repeat!
I'm looking forward to getting it all set up Saturday night for practice and tweaking it for the sound there! Can't wait till my name comes up for my Timmy to see how well they play together...but right now i am definitely an OCD fan!!!
oh yeah...almost forgot!
NEW STUFF ROCKS!!! :headbang:
