harvey Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi, Harvey, The OD/DS effects in the GT-3 & GT-5 are built around an analog OD circuit, rather than digital modeling, part of why they're fun to work with. To the best of my knowledge, they weren't intended to model specific boxes, but offer different 'flavors' of OD. I tend to use Vintage OD or Distortion2, with a Clean Twin amp model. Fuzz was the least satisfying of the OD/DS sounds, IMHO, and I've never heard anyone get a particularly convincing Tube Screamer sound out of the GT-3/5, either. The newer GT- and ME- series processors use COSM modeling for their OD effects, and most of their OD/DS effects are modeled after specific pedals. BTW, have you retired your GT-3? Agree, I never warmed to the higher gained ODs, they just seem to lose fatness and sounded like a chainsaw. I think the cranked blues OD was my loud solo sound for a lot of covers gigs. That had heaps of gain for me...sometimes I'd put the boost in front for extra grind. The GT3 hasn't been out for a while. It's in semi-retirement!

Griffinator Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I got a TS-10 I'm not needing right now. Make me an offer I can't refuse. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Based on the 808 but I liked the blend idea in both Sparkle Drives but this one has different types of drive. [video:youtube] My leading contender to be my new OD is this one or the Wampler Euphoria. But the Wampler is $200. Holy Crap this thing works good ( at least in the garage through a 5 watt 1-12 combo) but I should not a review until I've taken it out for a month. I have 4 straight nights of gigs I should have a good handle on it by Sunday. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

PBBPaul Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks Jimi! For what it's worth, I love the Double Trouble so far. I won't be gigging for a while but had the chance to play with it a bit this week. Huge range of great tones.

Nu2Keys Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 OCD.....I still own an original TS9 and a Sparkledrive took its place on my pedalboard, and now an OCD took its place, and doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
