[razzamanaz79]

Nice playing man, very cool blues licks

[yearofrolling]

More rocking.

Less talking.

Nice playing, though.  Good tone.

[TheMusicDude1997]

[dalesuhr]

[HackerGuitarist]

why is your name in every title ?

[theguitarczar]

@HackerGuitarist Probably because the guy is actually out there making a living doing this. I wish I could.

The key to using this pedal is understanding that the bass/treble knobs interact with each other. Don't be afraid to back off the treble. I usually have it a couple notches below the bass setting (For example, if the bass is at say, 12:00, then the treble would be at 10:00). I find that if I need more bite, it's better to turn up the bass a bit rather than the treble. Doing this tends to increase your mids (Like I said, they interact with each other). This works best with pre-gain to the right.

Yesterday, I was in a friend's studio, just seeing how my gear sounded in the room, and I got the fattest, punchiest, most-amplike lead-tone I've ever heard with the Overdrive Boost going into a 90's US-made Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I plan on going back there very-soon to record some things, and I can't wait to hear the recorded tone of that thing. It's the best, most-versatile pedal I own. Not good for beginners though. This is a pedal for people who can play and who understand tone. Just FYI.

I was using a Les Paul-type guitar with the Hot Rod Dlx when I was in my frind's studio. Thought I should mention this. The Overdrive Boost also works well with Strats, but it sounds so-damn-good with a Les Paul that I don't want to use anything else. The Overdrive Boost LOVES humbuckers (hum-buggies.... as gearmanndude would say). After yesterday, I'm totally-back in love with this thing. Pricey, but worth it for people who can play and know how to dig in and find their tone.

I have #160 (one of the earlier ones). I can't figure out the deal with his though...... The Overdrive Boost (the earlier one) had 3 pots on top (The newer version has 4 because Jon Gundry [Throbak owner/designer] moved the master-volume from the side of the pedal to the top where the other 3 are). But here's what I can't figure out: His has 2 knobs on top and there's a switch where the treble-knob should be (He's got an earler, "verticle-style" version). Why is that, and what's the switch?

I own No #375. Awesome with my Fender Bassman...

"Mostly gentleman?' Not so... I'm one chick who's very interested in this pedal. Nice demo!

[yobhsiFehT]

@Noitpure

Um, "mostly" equals "not entirely"... so... he's still right o.0 Always glad to see or hear of "chick guitar players," but there's no point countering his comment b/c, well, it's accurate~shrug~

[Rambo29]

David Gilmour tones!

[stratplayer613]

I've got a stone bender that sounds fantastic w' my paul, but dosent really work w/ my strat. Does this work w/ single coils?

[JacoThe2nd]

Stone Bender is the ToneBender clone right? If so, try adjusting the bias of it when using your singles.
