JipThePeople Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I have a Vox AD50VT amp. The Keeley will cost $130, the OCD $170. Any recommendations? I like to play Hendrix, Satriani, Lynch, King's X and SRV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picker Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The OCD would work for SRV and Hendrix, but the I think the modded DS1 will get you right on the spot for Satriani, Lynch, and King's X. I'd say go with the DS1. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolead Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 yZe - I don't know where you're getting your information from, but I think it's wrong. Last GP issue I read was on Eric Johnson's newest album and he didn't mention anything about one. I could be wrong though. He does like the Fulltone Choral Flange and some of the other stuff that's coming out. Nonetheless, he hasn't really changed his rig in years. It's always been 2 Fender [somethings, usually a deluxe reverb] and 2 Marshall Plexis with a plethora of pedals. (If your post was a joke, ignore this.) Shut up and play.

WaterMan Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I have both of these pedals. I almost never use the DS-1. The OCD has vastly superior sound quality and dynamics in my opinion. I don't play metal, however, so I can't attest to the OCD's suitability for that genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone Taster Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It is homebrew, not homegrown I had my drugs confused Anyway, I have bought some things ear unheard and been amazingly pleased, and other times not quite as pleased That is why the research is very important While I am not trying to make you a guineau pig , and do not recommend "blind faith" by any means, I do believe that this pedal warrants some due diligence on your part, based on the reviews Here's a photo http://www.tonefactor.com/proddetail.php?prod=BigD As far as my next gain-stage type pedal, this is it A 9.4 rating based upon a sample size of 10 reviews seems to be well above average http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/HomeBrew+Electronics+Arizona/Big+D/10/1 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=158481 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=117551 http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=88044&highlight=Homebrew http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=87424&highlight=Homebrew http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=78107&highlight=Homebrew http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=72593&highlight=Homebrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthetic Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 OCD is an overdrive and DS-1 is a distortion pedal, they're different in my opinion. Get both -- a stock DS-1 is only $40, and you can get it modded later by Analogman or Keeley or whoever. I use my OCD much more often than my (unmodded) DS-1.
