AC Booster +1

One more for the AC Booster

 

i think you should read the descriptions of all the BJF pedals and pick the one you like the best. he makes a bunch of killer overdrive pedals. the catalinbread super chile picoso is a very killer booster too. also, maybe something banzai. tons and tons of great overdrive options out there. good luck sorting through all of the varying responses you'll get

 

I'd suggest the PedalworX Texas Twostep. The Tour Pro Toggle can get the same uncompressed feel as the FD-2 in comp cut mode (but also with 2 levels of compression to the FD-2's single compression mode) but can be set to be a bit brighter and a bit more focused with more gain on tap, and the TTS is a 2 gain stage pedal.

My answer to every OD question....



Eternity, Man!!

 

Every time I replace my FD-2 I buy another................. I got one on the way!

 

What...nobody likes the Bad Monkey anymore?? A few months ago there were nothing but praises for that $40 pedal....

 

I know, me too. Eventually, I'd like to stop selling them. I want that orange MOSFET one bad though, so the current one may need to go ...

I do have another cool overdrive called a DGTM that is similar to the Fulldrive, but does not sound squished at all with it's toggle set to the right. Crazy good pedal that few seem to know about. HINT: I saw one in the Emporium for $99 yesterday--a steal. The only reason I would sell mine would be to get their new dual pedal.

 

It's the only one I really like (apart from stuff like Prunes & Custard) and it costs me less than a tank of gas...................
If it does break, buy another.

Best, Pete.

 

The bad monkey sounds better IMO than ALL Ibanez TS pedals and the boss SD-1. Its got a smooth character like the FD and has bass and treble controls. Its a winner for an cheap, more versatile TS type pedal. Another one in the same vein would be the reverend drivetrain I/II.

 

My two cents:
I have the TS9, TS9Dlx, Super Tube Screamer, Maxon OD808, TS10 and Soundtank TS5, and IMHO I agree that the BadMo is better than previous, more natural sound. Even you can use it as OD or booster.
Not bad at all for $24.50 second hand pedal

 

"How about the OCD? Is it a Fulldrive only brighter or does it have a totaly different sound?"

No, the OCD doesn't sound like the FD. By my memory, the OCD is a straight distortion. The one I played through, scooped the mids quite a bit, in other words... not like the Fulldrive.

 

A BIG plus 1 on the Texas Two Step. While I really like the Fulldrive, the TTS has me whipped! A buddy let me borrow hs for a few weeks and all my other o/d's pale in comparison. Just a fabulous, toneful pedal.

A few other low gainers I like are the LTD and the original black box Marshall Bluesbreaker.

 

hows a 'bout a timmy? i think that would fit the bill pefectly....

 

Yes, he does ship to Europe. Even to Scandinavia. Can't speak for Paul, but at least a year ago he did. I managed to place an order by email but I've heard that nowadays he doesn't have much time to check his email. But you can try. But calling him is the safest way to do it.

There are a few clips posted around here. Do a search for Timmy or TIM clip(s). I posted one a while ago. The Gainster has done some great clips!
