OD Pedals

[funktastic]

hey. i was wondering what OD pedal would be good to stack with a digitech death metal pedal. i've heard great things about the fulltone OCD, Blackstone, Mighty Red or a Boss OD-3. which would you recommend? the choices are not limited to only these 3 pedals. oh ya, i have no budget. i wouldn't mind modding it. just wondering which would sound good and still sound good when i stepped on the distortion pedal for solo-ing.
thanks guys

With a death metal pedal turned up at death metal levels....if you add any more gain at all...you might as well just take the synth...you dont need one....seriously!!!

if you really want that touch of extra gain....just use your volume knob....9 for rhythm 10 for leads...

hahaha. i mean when i'm playing rhythm. just use the death metal pedal for soloing. i personally find it a bit too much for rhythm

 

[bluepowder]

depends on what kinda music you play....you could consider selling the death metal pedal and getting urself a 2 channel pedal...box of rock,fulldrive,etcetc

Sahasrara? Not for stacking.. Your pedal is already high output, so no use boosting it..

i find my death metal great for solo-ing but rhythm its a bit too much and my settings aren't even maxed yet.
i just need a pedal which can give me the crunchy sound when i'm playing rhythm and then a killer solo when i kick in the death metal.

umm i dun think that will work.

Most people will just stack a ts type pedal to their crunch sounding pedal. It usually works wonders

so you mean i can't stack an OD with my deathmetal?
then what would u recommend for a pure OD pedal. meaning OD for rhythm then turn it off and on the death metal.

try the crunchbox and california sound from AMT. Im just roughly giving you some examples cos im not too sure what kinda rhythm crunch are you looking for. the crunchbox can do marshally blues to heavy crunch while the AMT california sound can get you a very focused midrange mesa boogie kinda tone, aka john petrucci.

of course you can because i did it before- just using the TS7. like others mentioned here, it's unnecessary especially with the Death Metal's inability to vary drive levels. you'd appreciate the cascading gain effect with a metal-type pedal that allows you to trim the drive while boosting.

on this note, Ibanez's Jemini would serve those of us who like to cascade one drive into another. this 2-in-1 pedal offers one distortion voicing while the other offers you a tubescreamer mode.
