What's your current FAV overdrive ?

[electricfactory]

Am trying out a new music store tomorrow while visiting here in NJ [ Prymaxe] and am considering buying a new OD from what looks to be a huge pedal selection.
What's your current overdrive of choice ? What has simply knocked you out lately ?
Suggest a new OD for me please !

[mrbluetone]

I got to stop by the Keeley shop yesterday and play several of the new OD prototypes it will be out very shortly and it will be the one Im getting

[melven62]

My g2d custom has been my go to od for the last year and a half.

For me, hands down, my Fetto Deluxe. Had it since 2007, and nothing compares. While it is discontinued, a Fetto Custom (http://www.himmelstrutz.com/fetto_custom.htm) would totally suit you. From light gain to hard rock... it delivers.

[electricfactory]

What about the Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret ?

[mlavin00]

Timmy! Was there any other choice?

[strat56]

Barber Direct Drive

[TomOliver]

Mad Professor Little Green Wonder.

[traviswalk]

Tim and BJFE Honey Bee

[GAT]

Same as it ever was...Klon

[StopReferencing]

Menatone Wreck't.

[DGTCrazy]

Well..............I have a 3 way tie...........but it's based on certain applications. I love my Rockbox BP for more modern gain, my Zenkudo for that Dumble sound, and my Klon for classic rock tones.

Hard to pick just one...........but that's what a pedal board is for!

Have to admit, the Timmy sounds pretty good at YouTube....

[marvelboy_04]

tim, with screwdriver close behind

[Dashface]

I can't really say I like anything better than my Hotwire Audio MiG Boost. That thing does freakin' everything.

[JubileeMan 2555]

'82 TS9

[buffjones]

Lately, The Fulldrive 2. But it changes from time to time. Still LOVE this one though.;)

There are hundreds of great overdrives. (There are not so many great distortion pedals.) Take your pick, but try a bunch first.

My favorite is the Kingsley Jester, but you will probably not find that in a music store unless it is used. My second favorite is the Rockbox Boiling Point. Same deal: hard to find (but try Tonefactor). Third and fourth: probably the Fulltone OCD and Fulldrive 2 Mosfet.

[piperman]

I keep returning to my fulldrive 2 MOSFET. So versatile, I love the options on it. Works great in a band setting.

[LUZBEL]

My Landgraff. They have never left my board for over 5 yrs.:D

[Funky54]

DLS & Hot Cake (AC30)

[CaptainAwesome]

Another vote for the Tim.

[got_twang?]

For me, it's the Keeley-modded Blues Driver. Just so versatile!

[markw1980]

I keep coming back to it, so I will say my Fulldrive II-FM. I have had several of them, and I am keeping this last one! Although...I have been gassing for a Barber-

[mlweidl]

just picked up a tim after a long search for an overdrive that sounds good to my ears and ive found it.... for now. I would wait for one either get on the wait list or find someone who doesnt wanna make a profit. i just picked mine up on here for pauls direct cost plus shipping

Fulldrive 2 Mosfet or TS808ri

[Zeon45]

MP Sweet Honey OD (original hand-wired). :love:

[screamingduck]

For one pedal that does so much, the FDII Mosfet is extremely hard to beat.
You get (via toggle switches) the choice between Vintage (modified TS sound), FM (flat mids for a more modern no mid-hump sound) or CompCut (clean boost). With the Mosfet version you also have the choice between the old standard FDII assymetrical clipping or Mosfet clipping. Add to that the Boost channel (which adds a bit of volume and more overdrive) and you get one pedal that can do a truly amazing amount of different/excellent tones. The FDII is one of those "benchmark" pedals and I will always have it on my pedalboard.
I actually sold my FDII Mosfet and bought an older non-toggle equiped version which I had modded to old orange colored version specs as I use my Klon for clean boost and dial my Zendrive into more of a Flat Mids eq.
If you are looking for one pedal to cover alot of bases, I would definitely suggest checking the FDII Mosfet out.

Good luck!

Suhr Riot for me!!!!!!!!!1

[natelux]

Earthquaker Devices Monarch. Run at 18v with the gain almost all the way down. Used this way it's basically an Orange-flavored boost.

[BluesHarp]

Lovepedal Burst Eternity or Klon.

[candletears7]

Bear in mind your guitar and amp. As important as all these pedals running around out there. If you know your guitar and amp well you can match a good drive pedal to get that similar natural response up and down the neck at different volumes.

[marsos52]

i been thru more overdrives than i can remember...keep going back to the klon..
a klon and a timmy has been keeping happy for a go while now..they work for me..

over overdrives that have impressed me are emma stink box i think its called..but i think its on the same order as the timmy.

also the sigma drive by cmatmods...and the sarhara by port city amps

I hope you had a great time at the store; they have the biggest collection of boutique pedals for sale that I've ever seen!

I've wanted to try one of these for a while. The only OD left on my board after a a long parade of pedals is the EQD White Light OD. Fun and versatile.

[kludge]

HAO Rumble Mod has been my favorite for a long time now.

[Truckdub]

Visual Sound Open Road.

[fishcake]

my barber ltd. works in every situation. it has beaten a timmy, am ts9, keeley ts9, and ocd.

ironically, i had it listed for sale since im looking to downsize to just 1 dirt pedal... but ive now come to my senses :bonk

All depends on your amp, guitar and preferred tone. I run an EL84 setup with both Strat and LP. For Strat tones, i like my Signa Drive and Hot Cake. for LP, its my Small Fry and my OCD

[QuantumFlux]

Loooooove the Timmy, wish I could get a v.2

[Dandy13]

it seems like every time this thread comes up i have a different answer lol. Lately it's been a zvex super duper

[patrickisbusy]

SBN Lil Eagle still. There is no other TS style pedal that can compare.

[fieldsroyal]

menatone red snapper - nothing like it imo - natural overdriven amp tone.

:agree :aok

[NewarkWilder]

Boiling Point. I'm glad I got over my initial distaste for the hype... it deserves it. amazing pedal.

[I'm so board]

Boiling point, but I want a Tim badly ;-)

[AlvasMusic]

I work in a music store (Alvas Music) & I get to hear a ton of FX pedals. My personal fav is the SWELL drive pedals. All tube, analog, true bypass, front mounted jacks, etc. Sound like amp switching-seamless & transparent. Here is a video of the G-Drive http://www.youtube.com/gearmanndude#p/u/6/n9k2zjk6dME
