Any Cactus Crunch users here?

Opinions?

I am looking to pair it up with a Les Paul (R7) and a 1x12 Carmen Ghia combo.

Thanks!!

No one?

I haven't had experience with the Ghia, but the CC pairs up excellent with a Les Paul. Put the drive around 2:30 and you can get some nice crunch with it. It's a very expressive pedal.

I have one that I use with my Fargen Bordeaux. Great pedal! It stays very true to the amps original tone and the EQ is the best I've ever used on a pedal.

I love my CC! I use it with my Hamer Artist Custom which has Seth Lover's in it into a small clean fender custom champ 12... I agree with straticus about the eq. I typically use it for a light breakup low gain od...

Thanks for the comments.

I am trying to decide between the:

Cactus Crunch
OCD (ver. 3)
Analog Man modded Maxon OD9

I haven't used an OCD, but I do currently have the CC and the analogman OD9 silver... Since I got the CC I rarely use the screamer anymore... Its on my list of things to sell when I get around to it... It can't be beat it you're going for a smooth tube screamerish sound. Since i've gone towards a more transparent light od sound in my head, the CC does that better... (I know its not really the place for this, but If you're interested, i'll let the OD9 go for $175... pm me...)

Ok, I have a CC, a CBox,and a CJOD,into a Rivera quiana, a BFSR,
and a HR Dlxe, single coils,And the CC is my go to pedal, from Clean Boost,,
to Robben Ford Tones are there, do I have to say more?...
Is my favorite pedal, no tosay the other ones are bad,
Is just ,that I'm never dissapointed w' the sounds the I get
from the CC ,Highly underrated Pedal!
My 2 cents....

I liked it but it was just really bright.

I use my CC with a Les Paul, Zendrive, & '83 Fender Concert II & LOVE it.

I had one but found it didn't have the liveliness or "oomph" that I like from the Timmy or BB. I found it kinda "pleasant" or "nice".
