POLL!!! POLL!!! POLL!!! POLL!!!
Which clip did you like better?

[guitabot]

Clip 02 for me, gusto ko yung midrange nya.

[killjom]

They are almost identical!! But clip 2 has a more controlled treble when engaged on high gain.. I'll go for clip 2!

[nickson]

When is the reveal? Di ko ma-play sa office. Haha.

[joel_marcelo]

Dikit na dikit a. Ganda talaga ng Mooer.

[r_chino18]

When is the reveal? Di ko ma-play sa office. Haha.

After a few days.. 

[dendelion]

Hirap pumili!

[dirtybluesplayer]

Tough enough to judge, pero parang mas may body yung clip 2 para sakin

[kym005]

Magkatunog talaga sila. Ang galing ng pagkakakopya ng Mooer. Di ko masyado rinig pagkakaiba nila  sa ibang clips pero clip 1 ako dun sa Killing in the Name.

[dudeofdude]

LP:
low gain: 1st
mid gain: 1st
high gain: 2nd

HP:
high gain: 1st

pakinggan ko uit mamaya through my monitors. Sana OCD yung first.  i like this series keep em coming!

[r_chino18]

Thanks all for taking time to listen to all the clips and voting. Keep them coming. 

Clip 02 for me, gusto ko yung midrange nya.

Mismo. Eto rin una kong napansin na subtle difference nila. More on sa midrange. 

LP:
low gain: 1st

Maganda ang OCD sa C30. You can get some nice Joe Bonamassa tones.   

[TagaRetiro]

Hindi ko masyadong madistinguish  Clip 1 for me (Mooer nanaman siguro tong napili ko haha)

[oldskoolstudio]

halos same lng nman silang dalawa unlike s ocd pwede maging distortion...

[r_chino18]

Care to elaborate on that one?

[oldskoolstudio]

Care to elaborate on that one?

i'mean sir dun lang kinopya sa ocd yung hustle drive compact lang sya, pro ang technically main difference tlaga nyan ay yung chips n ginagamit s ocd high-end chips compare s gamit n chips ng  hustle drive dun nagkatalo ang every fx s market now kya if u notice meron mahal at cheap dhil s components n ginagamit... i think sir nsagot me question mo... tnx have a nice day

So yung Mooer hindi pwede maging distortion?

Sorry sir, parang di ko makita yung connection niya sa pwedeng maging distortion. 

[nickson]

Heard it. Nice tones coming from the Zoom G2. 

Clip 1 pinili ko... pero maski naman clip 2 piliin ko.. pareho lang. Dikit.

nako i'm looking for an od pa naman for gigs na di ko madadala si C30 for stacking purposes na rin, and i really like Joe Bonamassa's tone. Sana may magpakitang cheap OCD sa classifieds

btw, i listened to the clips again through my msp5's arang mas nagugustuhan ko naman ngayon yung pedal 2 for most of the clips. di ko na alam

[spankyrigor]

Tinatamad akong magreply ng maayos. i keep looking for a LIKE button under the comments na gusto ko. 

BTW anung version pala ng OCD ang ginamit? V4? V7?

Idol talaga tone ni Papa Joe. 

Pero remember, iba-iba tunog ng pedals sa iba't-ibang amps.. It so happened siguro na yung mids ng C30 ang nag complement sa "fizzyness" ng OCD pag mataas ang gain. Somehow naging smoother kaya tingin ko nag-jive sila ng maayos.

V7??? Hahaha.. V4 yan bro.. Just before the blue LED mod....which is purely cosmetic.

Ang tawag diyan, MEMA. Memapost lang.
BTT, Clip 1 for me.

[ubersam]

...pro ang technically main difference tlaga nyan ay yung chips n ginagamit s ocd high-end chips compare s gamit n chips ng...

There is only one chip in the OCD, a TL082 op amp (unless nabago na sa V4). Presumably, ganun sa Hustle Drive. Ewan ko lang sa iba but I don't consider a TL082 high-end. Kung OPA2134 pa siguro. I also don't get how one can be a distortion, but not the other. Technically, both circuits clip (i.e. distort) the signal.

Anyway, I prefer clip 2 para on-topic.

[magtataho7]

Clip 1.... sana mooer ang clip 1 para can afford! he he he he he he he he he he

Fafi chino request naman.... dumble/zendrive/dumble-in-a-box clones!
