For me Tubescreamers and Bluesbreaker type OD pedals ang gusto ko..

I've tried the Fulltone FD II mosfet, and the Ibanez(keeley) TS09. I personally just have the BD2 keeley. (had my BD2 shipped to keeley, and he modded it for $65++)

All three sounded gorgeous.

But i would still like to hear an original Marshall Bluesbreaker, JHS Morning glory and Analogman KOT.

try mo yung bluesbreaker clone ng general guitar gadgets. very sweet overdrive.

My personal favorites:
for dynamic pick-sensitive sound and flat respose -- OCDv4 clone
for compressed, smooth, sustaining, mid-peak response (think Slash sound) -- MXR GT-OD

They're very different-sounding... hard to pick just one

I constantly switch between them depending on my mood.

For reference, the OD3 is somewhere in between these two. The SD1 and GT-OD are somewhat similar, but the GT-OD is smoother, and has more gain.

Rave Electronics Come on Scream by Ron (paparoni). I have yet to hear anything that sounds better.

I recently got a Jemini from a trade. My SD-1 gave a new flavor to the green channel of the Jemini.
Just like a TS9 cascaded with a TS808.

I usually use my Damage Control Womanizer for soft cliping OD and I reserve my Radial Tonebone Hot British for hard clipping high gain tones. Just recently though, I realized the Hot British sounds great as a low gain drive too. It nails the classic edge of breakup plexi sound. Who would have thunk???

For that always on tone, I've tried different ODs, but in the end, its the Dan Electro Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive V1.

No matter what happens, I always end up searching for that tube screamer sound...

1980's yamaha od. cheap but very reliable.

Skybox · « **Reply #66 on:** February 29, 2016, 04:09:40 PM »

Maybe it would be great if we can mention the amps we are running these into. As we know, dirt pedals work well with some amps and not so well with others.

My Hot British suck a** when ran into my old 80's Peavey but sounds suuuper smooth into my Micro Terrors.

Funny coz I A/B between the two Orange heads and the Peavey and it just changes from yuck to Holy F*** in a push of a button (footswitch). Haha.

dont you think that all overdrives just sound the same??
all these are just marketing stuff to get you to spend your hard earned money on basically the same ciruits.

I was also thinking the same thing sir. I've owned the following od's maxon od808, sd1, yamaha od, zw od and an od3 but I end up selling all. Except the yamaha od because it basically does the job and the sound difference is very minimal.

This has been mentioned a good many times before in other places, but while the pedals themselves will always make a guitar sound like a guitar in the end, from a player's perspective, a pedal is chosen not for the way it sounds, but also the way it feels under the guitarist's fingers. The Shredhead for example provides a more "liquid" gain that facilitates lead playing. The Boss DS-1 and the Satchurator do not do that based on experience.

You have a point though, and so I recommend that musicians who play for a living (or take the whole thing seriously) at least be aware of how their equipment work.

BTT: I have two favorite overdrive pedals. The first is an MI Audio Tube Zone, which I use mainly as a distortion/metal pedal. It is more than capable of low gain TS-type boosting, as well as treble boost/fuzz type tones.
My other favorite is the Paul Cochrane Timmy and derivatives (Danelectro Transparent Overdrive V1, Lovepedal Amp 11). This pedal is similar to the Tubescreamer in terms of circuit design, but has separate bass and treble controls, more gain range, and more volume. You can go anywhere from SRV to Yngwie with the pedal and the correct amp/guitar combo - it's that versatile. In fact I encourage every beginner guitar player looking for an all-in one overdrive to skip the Ibanez Tubescreamer or DOD250 altogether and go straight for the Timmy.
