I Love My Landgraff Dynamic Overdrive.

cool to hear there's another satisfied Dynamic Overdrive user. i've been loving mine for several years. rock on!

 

It's been on my pedal board for 3 years. I don't usually care much for pedals, but this one works.

 

I must agree, I just got my DO...great pedal. The OCD was gone real quick after the DO arrived. It sounds great with the Klon hitting it for a lead boost.....

 

my Landgraff is perfect for me ...I've had it for about 2 years and haven't had the desire to search for any other OD....thankfully I can spend money on other cool pedals

 

What settings is everyone using...?

I have had mine a few days and using it into a "clean" sound Marshall, so It is:

Switch up
gain 3 oclock
Volume 10 oclock
tone 12 or 1 oclock

 

I use mine to give my amp more guts. Gain - 10 o'clock, tone - noon, Vol - noon. Switch in the middle. This is a really dynamic setting. It cleans up nicely and roars when you need it.

The middle is a huge jump in volume...What amp do you use

 

Gibson GoldTone GA-30RVS. It's EL84 based class A with stereo 15 w power amps. Not much for a preamp, just gain/boost and tone. It broke up pretty quickly with the original 12AX7 so I put in a 12AU7 to get more head room. Now I can get really punchy cleans with a TonePress and RC Booster.

Add the RC booster to the LDO for the best AC30-ish clean-to-crunch I've ever heard.

To go over the top, add a BB preamp to the LDO. Excellent Cranked Marshall.

I think you may also need a good fuzz pedal to fatten things up sometimes. The Black Cat freddyfuzz (od-1) is great in that respect.

 

That is a good sound. I'm normally running mine into non-master tube amps that are set where they are just starting to break up. My Landgraff settings are:
Switch: Up
Gain: 10:00
Tone: 2:00
Vol: 10-11:00
If I'm running into a clean amp my gain settings will be closer to 1:00 with the volume set a bit lower.
In front of the Landgraff I use a McFuzz hybrid Hot set with the gain @ about 1:00 for an occasional boost. Works great.

 

You're welcome Shane! Put a smile on my face that you're as happy as you are.

 

What the current word on the Landgraffs? Anyone still using them?

 

I sold my last one about two years ago. It was the best overdrive I've had, it just represented too much money in one pedal for me. The last one I owned had a special sound that worked everywhere. I do miss that DO. I sold that and my MoD at about the same time. They were pricey, but they were eq'd to work wonderfully in any situation.

 

Wow, way to revive a super old thread!

Isn't the Rockbox a Landgraff DO clone?

 

Nope...using a real 80€ Rat and no tubescreamer

Awesome, I have a Plimsoul that is very Ratish...

Used to be a very sought after pedal. But I almost never see them anymore... Thanks
