who has OCDs??

[suckasucks]

anyone here use an OCD with a wah pedal? just wondering why my rmc wah doesnt really wah much through the OCD..

..

and i thought u meant obssessive compulsive behaviour. ahah

 

[snuffleupagus]

what wah (picture?wizard?) are u using?what is the order of the effects? (guitar>WAH>OCD or guitar > OCD>WAH

 

[suckasucks]

its a RMC wah 1.

guitar (highway1 strat) > wah > USA big muff > OCD > MIT DS-2 > tonefactor AF > phase 90 > BYOC analog chorus > shitty crappy SS amp.

heres some ways, not sure if it helps

1) Take out the ocd and the wah, connect only these 2 pedals, try putting the wah before and after the ocd, try to hear if theres any difference

2) If you have another wah pedal, replace it in the long usual chain of efx and see whether is it the same as having the rmc in it

3) Put the wah pedal in the long chain, before and after the ocd to try out.

If all the above three tried already, go back to 1), replace the ocd with another drive pedal and try the rmc wah before and after it to see if it behanve the same way as having the ocd in it.

lastly, less likely perhaps, the battery or adaptor of the wah?

imho

The input impedance of the effect is loading down the output of the wah, as the input impedance of the next effect appears effectively in parallel with the collector resistor of Q1(transistor) in the wah. This directly cuts the gain, which we've seen is responsible for the variable-capacitance effect that gives the wah its variable-frequency sound. The solution is pretty simple - buffer either the input of the following effect or the output of the wah.

^ so i'll need a something like the foxrox wah buffer?? if so, anyone know where to get one?

EDIT : how would you guys position your effects if you had the same pedals as i have?

 

[namle]

Foxxrox System usually apply for Fuzz-user? It might work I'm not sure

However I though ALL new RMC wahs come with this?

I have the OCD and RMC2 and they work perfectly with each other.

boss pedal...

 

[snuffleupagus]

I would put your phase and filter in front together with your wah.

eg,

Guitar, Wah, Phase, AF, and so on

but hey thats just me

 

[edder]

boss pedal...

I second that.

 

[suckasucks]

thanks guys. I tried messing around with the OCD positioning and after putting it infront of the wah made everything better. thanks bros. anyway anyone have the fulltone '69? i was thinking of getting one once misse has stock! but im not sure about how it would work with my wah.

^ and yeah i've been wanting to change the ds-2 for a really long time, just waiting till i get a valbee

EDIT : and my wah is an older version... doesnt have the buffer in it ):

 

[suckasucks]

omfg... realised everything's fine when its OCD > wah >big muff. but when everything is connect it just becomes really soft again.. could it be because of the buffer bypass of the phase 90 of DS-2? i doubt its the ds-2, took it out and tested my board without it connected..

guess i gotta try out more combis..

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

Keep playing around with the sequence and order of connection, there can be interesting responses at times.

If not, add one pedal at a time to find the one that didnt really fit in with the rest.

That wud be one of the fun of playing with pedals and learning the responses of various effect interacting together..

imho

well i realised that my ds-2 makes a HUGE volume drop when its connect. need to turn my amp close to full and my ocd quite high just to hear an audible sound. tried putting the ds-2 after and before the big muff, which i think are the only 2 logical places to put it. anyone know whats wrong? incompatibility? the ds-2's fine when the ocd's not in the chain though. was thinking of selling off the ds-2 soon anyway, jst not my type of distortion.

EDIT: nvm it was just a dead cable. probably a loose solder joint.
