Hmm.
I am using the Daddy O Overdrive :lol:
Got the last piece over at PS music plaza during the sale... final price (inclusive of music plaza membership discount) was $71.
Ok down to business:
Knob sequence:
volume > bass > contour/mids > treble > gain
The thing about this guy is that it's pretty fuzzy.. and throwing it into my signal chain.. it brings out some graininess into my sound. It's great for that old-school 'You Really Got Me' (The Kinks) sound, or that 'Rock and Roll' (Led Zeppelin).
Bear in mind that this pedal is not good for leads due to it's lack of sustain (a compressor might help).. but it is excellent for rhythm work and getting that nice big crunch into your sound.
It's pretty versatile because it's got an on-board EQ which you have to treat with caution: it is prone to muddy-ing up your sound when you turn up the bass.
The Chassis is made of metal, but a small bit of paint chipped off the moment I got it home and accidentally knocked the base of my Crybaby against it T_T. It's heavy too... almost as heavy as my Crybaby.
The activation switch is this nice silver plastic (?) button which can be pressed with minimal effort.
The knobs are a tad too small, and you cannot see the settings properly unless you have good lighting because the knobs are chrome and the indicator notch is small and black in colour.
The best thing about this pedal is that it has the on-board EQ so that you can set you amp EQ for clean, and the moment you activate the pedal you have no need to tweak the amp.
However, if you feel that the lack of sustain turns you off, thing is... when you want to have lead tones just throw in another pedal to juice up the sustain (I use my OS-2 as a booster with minimal gain to get a Big-muff-like sustain).
Hope this helps
