MartyGrass Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I know this is a matter of opinion, but I'm looking for suggestions. I saw the video Brent put up on the Roadkiller and was really impressed. I was also too late. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I really like my Fulltone OCD, not only for it's tone and string to string definition, but for how well it cleans up when you roll back the volume on the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Everyone has there favorite, you have to find yours, sorry. A good starting point would be the OCD, Lovepedal-Kalamazoo, Lovepedal Eternity, Barber Direct Drive or LTD, there are about a billion others too, these I have some experience with and like. My next one will probably be a Kalamazoo when I buy another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iim7v7im7 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 A couple questions before I answer... 1) Single coils, Humbuckers or both? 2) Amp set to clean or already on its own OD 3) What style of music do you play 4) Do you like your amps EQ/tonality or do you want to alter it with the overdriven tone? 5) What amps will you use it with (some pedals work better with Fender BF, some better with Fender Tweed and Some better with Marshall etc.) Sorry for the questions, but I own many and I may be able to recommend one more appropriate for your needs after you answer these questions.

tulk1 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 My favs, at the moment, are the Suhr Shiba drive and JHS Pedals Morning Glory. I've had others that were "all that" when I had them. So, maybe the best is the one I'm using when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitArtMan Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 -My original 1980s-something Tube Scream TS-9 (I think the reissues sound awful) -Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Spent some time back in the 90s doing a shootout with: 1. Original TS-808 2. TS9 RI nodded to 808 specs 3. Klon Centaur It was unanimous to all who were there - the nodded TS9 sounded best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Maybe the below would help in your quest (if you haven't already seen it). 35 pedals in the vid so if you're familiar with one or 2 of them, can be used as a reference point to others that you may be interested in.

Blunote Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 What's the best overdrive pedal? Answer: The last one you bought. In my case, that would be the CMATMODS Super Sigma Drive. There's ablsolutely none better...until I buy it. If ever you want to know what the best amp, strat or LP is, I've got answers for those too.

Trust me, there is no best overdrive. It depends on what you want, how you use it, what guitar/amp you are using it with, how your guitar/amp are set, are you stacking it or using it standalone, etc., etc., etc. There is no one best overdrive.

Guest HRB853370 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have the new Boss combo drive and I really like it. It emulates british od tones like VOX etc. Well priced too at under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
