OD pedals and the mark 4

[billyg121]

anyone use an ocd with the mark 4?i really like the tones i have heard and am thinking about getting one to goose my r2.if anyone has any experience with od pedals...an information would be great.settings etc.

I do just that, I boost my R2 with an OCD pedal.

Works great for me.

 

[billyg121]

do you crank the level on the ocd...or use some of the gain?

 

[lesterpaul]

yes..ocd or fulldrive-both can be custom tailored to your r2-a little of this...a lot of that....they are both transparent additions to any amp

zvex super hard on, if you've got a tube amp its just about the best drive you can get. its also completely transparent with the OCD and fulldrive are not. I like the fulltone pedals (I've owned both) and the fulldrive is awesome in comp cut (put it in front of a blackface fender, crank up and hang on) but I find the super hard on to have a better base sound. and I like that on its own, the super hard on has absolutely no distortion going on, all it is is a gain boost. so when you're using it it really doesnt sound like a od pedal, its much more organic

I've used a Digitech Bad Monkey with good results on R1 and R2.

Sparkle drive here. 8)

I use a BYOC Triboost and a BYOC Screamer (TS808) depending on what I'm going for. Both work great on R2. As far as clean boosts go, I like the Triboost because it is essentially three boost pedals in one so I can make it do a lot of different things.

BB Preamp kicks *** on R2 and for adding some extra sustain to R3.

 

[Schmoog]

+1 to the bb preamp

I still prefer the super hard on, the ability to drive two amps is a big plus for me, cause for bigger gigs I use my mark III and jcm 800 side by side

I LOVE my Maxxon OD9 (true bypass unlike the TS9) with Analogman's silver Mod.

Not too many options (my mark IV already has enough knobs!), just sweet tone throughout 8) .

I can use it for an excellent clean boost, or adjust it a bit to add some color, depending on my mood.

I tend to use it mostly for the clean. That's why I went with the silver mod...
