Had a Great Saturday

[3 Mile Stone]

Went down to San Antonio to my new favorite store. Space Tone Music. Owner Jason is a hoot and stocks a nice store full of awesome mix of useful gear, vintage amps & guitars and most of all ... PEDALS!!! I've been going down there every couple of weeks to see what he's got and I bought a Keeley Blues Driver a while back. Went down there with my Rebel 30 because I was looking for a pedal to get those in-between tones. You know, the Rebel 30 has a great clean channel and an awesome gain sound but I need a crunch tone. Kind of like channel B on the SL, B'man or Vox. I bought a V4 Fulltone OCD. PERFECT on the clean channel of the Rebel 30. Sounded friggin great. I bought it and while I'm looking around I spotted a Motion Sound SR - 112. It's a rotating speaker kind of Leslie deal. $300!!! I bought it too and sounds friggin GREAT!! So I'm hanging out and there is this dude there and he notices my Rebel. We talk a while and it turns out he is forum member Riddick (sp?).

Fun day.

OCD V4 is just a ridiculously great pedal for crunch tones, for not a lot of dough...

V3 was cool too, but V4's gain range is much more useable...

Yea I was honestly a little surprised Nick. I had a V1 way back and I liked and everything but. I had a boat load of pedals I put it up against. Now keep in mind I had the specific criteria of crunch RTM tone on clean channel in mind. I put out a Keeley TS808, Durham Sex Drive, Zia & Mucho Boosta, and shit a bunch of booteeky madness. OCD kicked some butt and won my money. Bonus is when I got home and tries it on the Rebel 30 gain channel, it ROCKs there too.

Man I should try the OCD again sometime. I tried V1...and liked it...but didn't love it. The BB Preamp has been that type of pedal for me. So much so...I don't have a sparkle drive on my pedalboard anymore. I still own a SD...but...I find myself using it more w/ my Mod50 blues rig!

Yea, you really need to go check a V4 out Eric. I had it right next to my BB tonight and it was kicking it's butt, and I am a major Xotic pedal fan, love the BB Preamp. But damn, seriously ... pedal the OCD V4 is a real winner.

Well I think I'll have to grab one the next time I get a chance! I'll play one at NAMM for sure!!!

It's got a cool upper mid punch thing I think you'll like. I slowly coming out of the sludge to dig on some more cutting tones.

The OCD V4 does sound great. Try it with 18v power supply for more headroom and tighter overall sound. Kills @ 18v on the Higher gain setting. It cost my AC booster it's spot on my board.
