OVERDRIVE BOSS OD-3

[brasileirorusso]

vc recomenda algum pedal pra black metal? tirando o BM-1 claro, que é bem raro.

[miltonmorales]

@brasileirorusso Putz, cara, eu não sei exatamente o que esperas de um pedal para Black Metal, já que é um gênero dentro do metal... eu toquei metal muitos anos, e nesse tempo gostava de usar o Line6 Uber Metal... o EHX Metal Muff é um pedal interessante, com sonoridade de trash do anos 80... o 56inc Tubestation é ótimo também, pois é um pedal valvulado... essas são opções interessantes, na minha opinião. Abraços!

[MrHootal]

Theres a song with the same chords, cant remember it.

[MrHootal]

What song is that on 0:50

[miltonmorales]

@MrHootal It's just a song made by me....

[ICEMIXK1]

@miltonmorales I like this song

[jasmoism]

nice post..where is the OD3 made..Is it MIJ?

[miltonmorales]

No... it´s a new OD-3, made in Taiwan...

[slashnpraise]

@jasmoism

there is no such thing as a MIJ OD-3, they're only been produced in Tawain

[A7XSynysterGfan]

i would prefer distortion

[dirtstargazer]

go ahead if you like treble and hide your notes...

peace.

[44eelz]

i prefered you didnt prefer

[Jof1987]

I think this pedal has too much mids...

there isn't enough gain

(I must say I bought it seconcd handed, and I think they messed with it or something, cause in this video there is gain...)

when I play high notes I mostly don't get the gain I want from it...

weird

I think I'm gonna buy a tubescreamer from ibanze, TS9, maybe the keeley mod...

[miltonmorales]

Too much mids? Really? To me, the OD-3 has a transparent tone, with minus mids than SD-1, Tube Screamer and etc... ;]

Cheers!!!

[Jof1987]

mmm

I don't know

I tried the TS9 and it sounded much better dan the OD3

but that's taste... I guess :)

[miltonmorales]

For sure, dude, that´s taste...

... but between TS9 and OD-3, the better depends, for me... I like much more the OD-3 with singles, as I like much more the TS9 with humbuckers, or as a booster...

... but, as you wrote, "that´s taste"... ;]

[24242009]

thanks, i have a fender standard tele MIM which has single coils so id be getting the od-3 for my pedals. whats the difference between the super overdrive and this? or its better to get the first version overdrive?

[miltonmorales]

Dude, I made a video that compares SD-1 and OD-3... to me, the difference is that the SD-1 has more mids and the OD-3 is more transparent... that´s the principal differente to me... cheers!

[icps86]

i have a BD-2 and I wanta new pedal for useing it on its own and as a booster. i think SD-1 for itrs price but i like a fat sound.... would you use the OD3 as a booster over a BD-2?

[miltonmorales]

Dude, I don´t like the OD-3 as a booster... and over a BD-2, it´s worst, in my opinion... cheers!!!

[icps86]

what about the SD-1 boosting the BD-2?

thnx amigo!

[miltonmorales]

For sure the SD-1 it´s a better option as a booster... however, it isn´t a fat drive, but you can easily MOD it... I made a Monte Allums´ SD-GT MOD and the SD-1 now it´s great for me... cheers!!!

[slashnpraise]

@icps86

i currently boost the OD-3 with a BD-2 and it sounds like heaven! but i am using a fender highway strat and going derect into the P.A using a custom made tube PODwhich may make a difference

[Alekseyyyyyy]

Don't bother with SD-1, sucks tone like you wouldn't believe. Especially when disengaged.

[24242009]

is a single coil guitar ok for this pedal or need to change to humbukcer?

[miltonmorales]

In my opinion, the OD-3 sounds really great with single-coil, not with humbucker...

[superdusty]

I use this pedal through my fender hotrod deville 2x12, it sounds really good cranked up

[davo171]

Actually from my ears this is a great od tone. I just picked one of these up tonight, gonna crank my tube amp tommorow and get to know it!

[miltonmorales]

Dude, for my ears too the OD-3 sounds very very good... great pedal, great sound, specially with single-coils... ;]

[illgatoo]

great overdrive, i like it very much

[shadowlink96]

Can someone suggest a pedal that would be good to get the kind of distortion JerryC has in his canon rock video?

[Morethanl1f3]

love pedal III or bixonic expandora

[guitar5454]

try a boss ds-1

[Morethanl1f3]

ds-1 is just basic love pedal and etenrity and such is more vintage go chek out the sounds for love pedal III or Bixonic Expandora... i mean ds-1 is good only if u did wat i did which is getting it modded basically depending on wat company but i got it under keeley so they do a really mean job sounds so much better then the ds-1 cuz all my friends threw theres away saying i hate it so i took it and modded it and sold it for 130 each

[JesusSocks]

he used the zoom 707... but it can be emulated quite accuratly using boss MT-2

[Heyyodude893]

word, thanks man

[Heyyodude893]

what kind of pedal would be good for grateful dead?

[miltonmorales]

Man, I heard some songs, cause I don´t know very well Grateful Dead. By the songs, I think that Marshall Guv´nor it´s a good option, cause many tones sounds like "Old Marshall Drive Style" for me. Anyway, that´s mais sugestion. Cheers...

[Morethanl1f3]

toad work death rattle

[lynyrd01skynyrd13]

i play alot of grateful dead, i usually play completely clean but id recommend the boss bd-2 blues driver pedal

[Heyyodude893]

well, i use clean on most of their songs, i just wondering what distoriton to use on leads

but thanks man, i'll give it a try

[phipsi1888]

try the okko diablo

[thefishofgreen]

Whats a good peadal for playing like John Mayer and SRV stuff?

[miltonmorales]

My friend, since yesterday, when I could test some Fulltone´s pedals, I recommend the Mosfet Full-Drive2... great great drive, especially to John Mayer e SRV stuff... cheers!

[Ollyknkn]

can someone suggest a pedal that would be good for playing guns n roses ?? thanks

[miltonmorales]

Marshall Guv´nor... great for Guns ´n Roses...

[Ollyknkn]

wow that was quick thanks

[squidwombat]

nice playing. So would this pedal be good for a led zeppelin, red hot chili peppers, pink floyd, sort of rock approach ?

[miltonmorales]

Dude, I think the OD-3 better with single-coil and with low gain. So, usable, but not very nice to Led, good to Red Hot and maybe good for some Pink Floyd songs. OD-3 works fine to rock, old rock, but I prefer to use for some bluesy sounds. Tears, brow...

[badassibanez]

i have a overdrive boss pedal for my peavey millenium 5 string bass. I like boss more than ibanez as far as pedals go but ibanez makes the sickist guitars.

[niceandeasygeorge01]

good call on the time

[RoflCopterAce]

0:49 is about as amazing as a simple riff can get

[miltonmorales]

Thank´s, man... ;]

[ltuomela]

yea you got that right man, i got the same peddle love it to death man

[MrHootal]

@RoflCopterAce What song is that?

[BASSMANN2007]

What a guitar is it?

[miltonmorales]

It´s a Japan Jackson ATX...

[deaken316]

what song is that it sound soooo nice Man awsome!!!

[miltonmorales]

Man, thank´s... but everything the I played was just improvise...

[deaken316]

well it sounded awsome

[kirkFROmMetallica]

yeah thats awesome beautifle realy

[SoloBen247]

i mean around 48

[miltonmorales]

Oh, man, thanks a lot...  ;]

[SoloBen247]

yup

[mattiamarcon]

Hi, I have this pedal and it works great, but I don't understand whether it's better to use it together with the amp gain or not for a pleasant but nasty distortion: if I don't use the amp gain then solos sound a bit weak, if I reinforce them with gain at max. level, the distortion is good for solos, but a bit noisy and confused for chords work, any suggestions?TX!

[miltonmorales]

Man, it´s not easy help you, cause it´s necessary that I knew how do you use your equipo and other things. In fact, I don´t like the OD-3 as a booster. I think it´s a great overdrive pedal, but no for boost. Your problem with the noise maybe it´s because the OD-3 has much more gain than others drives like SD-1 or Tube Screamer´s. Try something like que SD-1, cause it´s a better choice, in my opinion, to boost amp´s and pedals. Tears, my friend... ;]

[mattiamarcon]

Don't worry, it was helpful indded. I don't use it as a booster, I think it's a prfect sounding overdrive, and now anfter a week I have found the right settings: gain at 3/4 and drive knob at 3 hour...tone at 3 and the overdrive is superb!

[SoloBen247]

what are you playing at 53 sounds nice

[miltonmorales]

Man, I´m improvising all the time... ;]

[SoloBen247]

dam nice causre that hammer on riff at 38 ish sounds so nice

[RokasLTU]

Great tone!

[miltonmorales]

Thanks, man...  ;]

[ChrisPlugged]

if you get a chance, try the Crowther Hotcake Pedal. Best Ive ever tried for crunchy natural overdrive low and high volumes.

[moose4jere]

man, i love your sound. Im deciding between this pedal and the bluesdriver and you put up a strong arguement for this one lol.

[miltonmorales]

Thanks, man...

[d4nzig4life]

well i hear you can pair this up with the DS-1 and get a great overdive/distortion sound, but do you need a Noise Suppressor to cut back the extra feedback? can some1 get back to me plz.

[miltonmorales]

Man, I don´t need a Noise Supressor to cut the extra feedback, but other stuffs, like a good power supply and good cables... a prefer to put my money in that... ;)

... but, if you like, a Noise Supressor is always a good option... to me is the last option, just because I don´t like stuff like that to change the signal of my guitar... but, if anything resolve the "hum´s", well, a NS is necessary... hehehe

[d4nzig4life]

allright, ill prob get this pedal and pair it with a ds-1 but ill get the NS if i have to, thnx

[marlonmm]

i tried pairing unmodded od-3 and ds-1. with od-3 as a booster before ds-1, they produce a thick overdriven sound. ds-1's hizzy distortion is somewhat reduced.

[craigmcarthur1]

I use a OD-3 and BD-2 together sometimes and I have an NS-2 noise Suppressor to kill the noise, al post a video shortly to show u the difference the NS-2 makes!

[d4nzig4life]

alright cool, i will appreciate it, and if you can send a message back to me when you do that would be great to ^^

[Jaani88]

Bro, which one do you think is better?

SD-1 or OD-3?

[miltonmorales]

Man, it´s hard to say which one is better. I prefer the SD-1, cause it´s perfect to my sound... the OD-3 is great for blues and old rock... with single-coil, the sound of the OD-3 is amazing, better than the SD-1, in my opinion...

[Darrell93]

I think the bluedriver is better,but nice pedal and tone!
