after years of trying and playing with different types of OD pedals, in the end, sa DanElectro TOD V1 pa rin ako. iba lang talaga yung nagagawa. This comment of mine is based on my hunt for the JM Tone. Hot but not too colored. :D
hahaha ako binibiyak ko muna yung wetpaks para makita kung may yellow thingy hahahaha

There are so many great-sounding OD pedals that it has become financially impossible to get to try them all out, much less own them. For sure, there will be more nice new pedals in the coming years.

I've become less and less curious how they sound and compare. Best one can do is have several to match with whichever guitar and/or amp one is using.

My od's are my "babies." I'd be hard pressed to choose a #1 or rank them.  There is no best; just an appropriate one, depending on genre and match...

I've been with cool cats for a while now and some of them are said to be clones of some good and popular pedals. I have both the v1 drive, said to be an ocd clone. And a v2 transparent overdrive, said to be a Timmy clone. I like the drive a lot, responds well to picking dynamics and volume. I just leave it on and I can go from punchy clean to a lot of gain by just a turn of the volume knob. The transparent OD, gives off a nice punchy clean tone to a good crunch. Because of that I'll get the real ocd amd timmy at some point; just because.

The ehx soul food is quite interesting sound wise, not too expensive too.

At the top of my list is still the barber direct drive. The latest version sounds even better, from youtube at least.

To stay on topic, oo ang ganda nga ng direct drive! My bandmate has one and it's very responsive. i haven't tried the new one though.

Meron na ba Klon Centaur dito sa Pinas? Maybe an owner can give a review.

There's a lot of hype on that pedal. Legendary, clearest , most dynamic etc.

May napanood ako sa youtube kay gearmandude. Klon vs soul food shootout.

Almost the same, but a vast difference in price.

Don't own a real Klon but there are plenty of klones that can get you 90% there. The Klon is meant to push an amp on the verge of break up. Based on some user reviews, cranking the gain and using it on a clean amp, it'll sound good but not that great. It kills as a boost though.

I own an ARC Klone and use it to boost the red side of KOT. It's a killer combo. I never get pass 9 o'clock on the gain & volume on the klone. That pedal is really really loud.

Hi Ian.

We're the local Dealer for Arc Effects. Can hook you up with a Klone if you're interested. It's a 1-for-1 part-by-part replication of the Original circuit, whereas the Soul Food I would say is only "based on" or "inspired by" the Klon Centaur. The Soul Food for one thing uses silicon diodes where the Klon (and the Arc Klone) uses Germanium. Fuzzheads here in the forum can probably attest to the difference in feel between the two: Germanium Fuzzes being more spongy while the Silicon Fuzzes having a bit of a hard edge to the notes. The SF vs the Klon/e is the same way. I also have a Soul Food btw.

They can be made to sound similar, in the same way that a Zoom 707 can actually be tweaked to "sound like" a real Marshall etc especially when recorded. But I assure you the feel and the response of the Klon/e compared to the Soul Food is also vastly different.
We are the authorized Philippines Dealer for the following brands:

It may not the best OD around but a bang for the buck with JOYO UD. Good sounding and very versatile in my opinion.  :mrgreen:

When you say "spongy" sir, what do you mean by that? Which do you think would best suit Les Paul type guitars?

hey Sherwin, Whats up man.

So maybe its the "feel" of the od?

Interesting, since we can only dream of owning an actual Klon, can you say the Klone is the closest? in Feel and Sound?
