Fulltone OCD vs. Fat Boost

[nosajwp]

I have a Fulltone OCD right now, which is an excellent OD/dist pedal. Tons o' gain in there! I'm wondering though, if the Fat Boost would better serve my needs. Can anyone give me a comparison between the two? I know the FB is mostly a clean booster, but from what I've read, it can get some nice grind to it too.

I played the Fat Boost, and to be honest it's not one of his better efforts. I own a Fulldrive and have owned the OCD...you already own a better pedal. The Fulldrive is another great option. I don't know how much grind you need but there are much better pedals then the Fat Boost.

If you are looking to put your boogie lead channel over the top with gain then the fat boost is a good way to go. I use the boost section of my Carl Martin (Hot Drive N Boost) pedal to do the same thing.

The fat boost is not intended to add distortion in itself. It will pummel a good tube head input into serving up nice distortion though.
