Which pedal is also great...thanks!

It is largely a matter of taste and personal preferences, of course - and of fine-tuning with the available controls - but to my long-suffering ears, the N-Audio and the BB 'make the grade', while the XD and OD9 disappoint. The XD2 by Fulltone is nowhere 'full' and the OD by Maxon is nothing like 'max'. They both sounded great to me on their own when I tried them or heard someone play them - but they lose in direct comparison with other choices.

Xotic BB and Firesound are my joint winners!
