Are you paid or sponsored to do this? You add at least 10 every week, if not every day, heh...

[gearmanndude]

ROCK!

have one - luv it. but it sounds like pure shite in this vid thx to a bright guitar thru a bright amp and the pedal treb set past noon.

For me, the magic lies between 3:00-FULL on the gain knob, but the important thing to remember is that the bass/treble knobs interact with each other, so for me, if I want the pedal to really-sing, I have to back the treble off to the point where it's below the bass setting (In other words, if you set the bass at 3:00, set the treble @ 1:00.... or if bass is @ 12:00, then set treble @ 10:00). This is how you get more midrange (since there is no MID knob). Like I said, the controls interact.

Glad to see this pedal in the smaller form factor. Looks well made with all the modern features. Really want to pick one of these up!

@StratmanSixtyNine lol, tele-copy sound so negative, like it's not as good as the teles fender makes. It's probably just as good if not better

[StratmanSixtyNine]

It needs to be played through a Strat.... The tele-copy doesn't sound good through it.

I emailed Jon (Throbak) the other day concerning how the Throbak ODB compares to the Colorsound Overdriver. He said in silicon-mode, the pedal is exactly the same as the Colorsound. He said he improved the treble/bass functions as well to give it more flexibility as compared to the Colorsound.

Basically, the Throbak ODB is a spot-on clone but with much more versatility. Gearmann pretty much wanked off this whole demo, doing its sound and capability absolutely no justice.

@gearmanndude How does it compare to the pedal it's cloning ( Colorsound Overdriver /Boost ), I'm sure the ThroBak is significantly lower in retail price. Their Tone Bender clone is pretty spot on.
