Overdrive Pedal Shootout!

[Cameronhimself]

So I decided to film a video with every overdrive pedal I have. Hopefully this will help you guys see what some of these pedals sound like. To keep things fair, all pedals have their controls set to 12:00. I used a Marshall JCM 800 for everything.

NIce. I'm a big muff fan, which is a pretty different style pedal vs the others of course. For the OD's, I thought the AC boost sounded really good. Wasn't crazy about the ts5 or the Fulldrive w/o the boost (liked it w/boost).

I get why you set controls to 12:00 as an constant. But that might not be the optimal setting for each pedal, just something to keep in mind when listening. Pots can have pretty different values.

I enjoyed it though, nice video!

I did not like the Big Muff. It sounded muddy to me.

Otherwise, the rest are good, if I had to choose I'd pick the AC Booster, the Fulldrive, and the TS9 modded.

Thanks for doing this.
