Nice full tone.  Have you changed out your pickups? If not, congrats on getting such a crisp sound from the stock epi pups.

[craigmcarthur1]

Yup Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck

[kevindulwinski]

If I'm trying to pull out some clear but heavily distorted tones (see Between The Buried And Me: Ants of The Sky) would you recommend the Boss Metal Zone II or the Ibanez Tubescreamer reissue?

[craigmcarthur1]

Depends on your amp. The amp would be more important than the pedal

[Anarchyffan]

Could I use one of these as a gain boost for my amp?

[craigmcarthur1]

You could use the OD-3 as a boost but there are better pedals on the market for boosting your signal. I use a an SPF Ego Booster

@Raptorfy a month or so probably

[fcWolf1995]

what amp and what settings are you using ?

[Eddie555neji]

Man you sure have a lot of distortion pedals and all that stuff. Lol.

[Raptorfy]

This may sound like a wierd, way off topic question (because it is), but how long does it take to form calluses on your finger tips? Im a newbie with his little shitty squier. Just wonderin though, thanks!

certo che per tutti i pedali che c'hai sei proprio na pippa der cazzo, crepa

[moss1transcendant]

try tone riders, there cheap but great.

[moronslave]

is OD3 the best yet cheapest overdrive out there today?

[bryanbrezvani]

A Hiwatt amp with an Epiphone guitar?
