RJLII Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I used to have one. Brentrocks has it now. It was a nice OD box. It's pretty transparent too, without the midrange hump you get from a tubescreamer. The problem I had was that you couldn't turn the gain down enough for my taste.

It seems everyone had this problem, the 4th version (the one I have) has a much more linear taper to the pots, I could easily find a sweet spot on mine when I was using it, often I used it as an always on line driver to just add sparkle and dynamics.
RJLII Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Mine was a V4 as well. Even so, I couldn't turn it down enough to "just add some hair" without turning the guitar volume down too. Now I'm using an Xotic RC Booster, a Timmy, and a Barber LTD set at various gain levels. It works for me.
H Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I nearly bought one but then I noticed that the letters aren't in alphabetical order.

I love the LTD too,had a BB Preamp and should have kept it, at one time it seemed I had a lot of dirt boxes that covered the same territory.
smurph1 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Never tried one.. But all my pens are required to be side by side on my desk!!
smurph1 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I've been using an MXR Badass Modified OD.. I like it a lot.. I can leave it on and just roll the volume back on the guitar for sweet cleans, or turn it up for a nice bluesy bite!!
bolero Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 have had some time to mess with it, I like it a lot it is a distortion pedal, so when it is on I expect some distortion it does clean up a bit with the gtr volume, which is nice. but if I want *clean* I'll turn it off !!
