@crate718 if u want tight tone buy the regular ibanez ts9 or maxon 820 , 808 is fine, od9+ pro sucks ass from my experience, if you like creamy ( thats what they claim on the maxon site) go for it. I don't like undefined mids, low mids. if you like this go for it
@f3r0m0n that is how I feel about the ocd, its great for soloing, it makes my 5150 sound like a marshall, ocd sounds great with my blackstar dis tx pedal, I guess the 808 is the best for metal, the only think sucks its not true by pass
Great video man, I knew the OCD was great already but I hadn't heard this side of it and I was keen to before finally purchasing it, great job, thank you!
@dusted04 ...the mark V is a good amp and you can get such a sound out of it....the problem is, the mark v isn't easy to handle... and other people will confirm you that the mark v will need some time to master..... ( time= more than jsut 2 weekends tying out etc... a friend of mine took about a year to set up his road king exactly the way he wanted it) ^^ ...if you want an amp that sounds good jsut by plug and play, get ya a g-dec xD
Hmm... Somehow the Maxon sounds a little "bigger" :o Do you have any experiences with a Single Rectifier? I am planning to buy one, but maybe you have some hints about how to set it up or does it have a different sound than Dual Rectos when comparing their metal tones?
@GibsonRocker1958 The single Recto will be almost identical in sound as the Dual Recto, but with less options. I usually start with the tone controls at noon and work from there. Keep the bass right around noon or less to prevent muddiness and you will be good to go!
I think ima go for the Maxon though,,but when I finally get paid again,,I'll save some cash for the Fulltone as well. They seem to be both killer,,like your riffs are as well btw (;
@fluff191 Hey man,,sorry for bothering you again,,but I recently bought the Maxon and I seem to have an awful lot of noise (setup: Schecter Blackjack Avenger (SD Blackouts) - Maxon - Bugera 6262-212),,so I figured I'd need a noise gate. So my question is; are you using a noise gate and which one would you recommend? Thanks a lot (;
What pedal do you like most? I am trying to figure out between these two pedals and the fulldrive 2 mosfet. I have a bugera 333xl head and use passive emgs in a Schecter damien special. I basically just want more tone and attack. Basically just wanting something to push my bugera harder and get a thicker fatter tone. Any advice on what would fit me best?
@xxc3lld4m4gexx those my friend are Seymour Duncan Blackouts, not EMGs. personally, i think the Blackouts crush even 18v modded EMG's for most lower tuned stuff. I do however own 2 guitars with EMG's though, but my main guitar is the one with the Blackouts.
@xxc3lld4m4gexx ....i dunno about the bridge pickup but the neck pickup is no emg at all.... i can't read the brand on the pu but i can see that its longer than 3 letters ;)
So here's my question about ezdrummer, I want to use it just to jam to...I want to set up a certain rhythm, connect my laptop to a speaker and just have ezdrummer play rhythms while I try out different riffs over them. Is that possible to do that? I am not looking for great tone from it, I just want to use it as a practice tool. Thanks for your time.
@timborocksloud Yeah that what I do when I am writing. You could either make a MIDI hit pattern in your DAW, of get the free stand alone Toontrack Solo and just set one of the built in grooves to repeat. Hope that helps!
2) Any chance you could do the same demo on a Stiletto Deuce Stage 2?
I bought both heads and am trying to decide which one to keep...the only thing keeping me from returning the Recto is the channel 3 Modern setting I just love it and wonder if I could use an overdrive pedal to do the same thing on the gain channel of the stiletto.
@timborocksloud Drums are EZDrummer. And If you used a boost with the Stiletto, you can absolutley get into high gain territory. FWIW, I used to own a 3 Channel Recto and ended up getting rid of it.
It's close but It appears that the Maxon sits a tad better with the voicing of the 2 ch rectos, sounds a little bit more raunchy to the ears, probably the mid boost. Great shootout!
It seems very subtle, but I think the Maxon takes it. This is a very good comparison. I use to own an OCD, but I could never get it to sound right to my ears.
The pick definition on the Maxon is waaaaaay better.
