Opinions please, new Indyguitarist overdrive/distortion pedal

[Indyguitarist]

I've been working on a different overdrive/distortion for several weeks now, my intent is for it to be competition for the fulltone ocd/AM king of tone area -- please take a listen and tell me if you like/don't like, or what you think it is lacking:

For comparison, I'm using a stock tubescreamer, a (very nice) Analogman sd-1 modified, and my overdrive pedal.

Also, please note that you will probably hear some hum and/or the bypass clicking as the circuit is not housed yet.

It's actually a circuit that utilizes hard clipping, and a circuit that utilizes soft clipping, and you can tweak each control for each (seperate gains, volumes, and tone controls). It also has 2 seperate footswitches.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
from the clips, I'd say yours has more "body" -- more lows & low mids -- in comparison.

I haven't played my OCD a lot, but I think it has a pretty organic feel, and becomes more a part of the amp than most tubescreamers. In that regard, I think the OCD is more similar to my Maxon 820, a circuit with a "dual gain" knob, and 18 volt operation, similar to a Klon.

Mike made a point of making OCD clips with different amps, which showed that it reacted as part of the amp.

yours sounds like a good start, and the dual clipping controls sound unique.
