Reply With QuoteSounds interesting. I'll have to check out the clips. ?Youtube? I have an OCD and love it. I've never tried the Danelectro but I'll have to keep that in mind.
Make sure you give us a review after you've had time to play with it.
Feedback Score 11 (100%) Has anyone played one of these? After listening to a bunch of different samples and reading some reviews, I caved and just bought one on ebay.
I'm hoping it is the perfect "next step" of dirt after my Timmy. Into a clean amp, I LOVE my Timmy for low od tones but don't like it once the gain gets past noon (into a dirty or semi-dirty amp it is a different story). From what I am hearing/reading, the DLS does great medium gain sounds into clean amps.
I had been looking at an OCD but my Danoelectro Drive (OCD clone) wasn't cutting it. I know the Dano Drive isn't identical to the OCD, but I think it was close enough to give me an idea.

Never Satisfied (idiot)
Feedback Score 43 (100%) Can't comment on the CatalinBread but everytime I think something is close enough to replace my OCD it turns out it isn't. This includes in no particular order, Zendrive, Roadhouse Eternity, EMMA Reezafratzitz, GT500, TIM, and probably 2 or 3 others that have since moved on. There's just "something" very natural sounding about the OCD that really appeals to me. I have a V2 btw.

Feedback Score 11 (100%) I will try out a "real" OCD when I get a chance but I think it is higher gain than I need and a few guys have mentioned it sounds better into a louder amp rather than a clean, low volume setting.

Dirty machine !
Feedback Score 12 (100%) Did you ask some reviews to Scott at axeandyoushallreceive? Maybe he's in touch with one unit!
But heh, I'm big in Japan!
Feedback Score 11 (100%) No, but I already ordered one on ebay (from "Tonefactor", only $10 USD shipping to Canada via USPS).

Feedback Score 25 (100%) I normally use my OCD on the clean channel at low volume setting. Always sounds awesome. It goes from slightly dirty to balls out. Thanks for the links, I'm gonna check those out now.

Feedback Score 11 (100%) Well, guess what came in the mail today :smile:
I haven't had a lot of time with this so I cannot give too many details. I was hoping this pedal would take over where my Timmy leaves off: it does this perfectly. I like my Timmy for low gain but find that anything past noon on the gain knob doesn't sound great into a clean amp. The DLS sounds just wicked at low-medium to medium gain settings into a clean amp.
The pedal goes for a JTM 45 type of sound. Since my amp is essential an early 60s era Marshall (very early, tube rectified Traynor Bassmaster) I have a pretty good reference. The pedal really does sound like my cranked amp, and really captures the low end power when jumping the amp's inputs. I've never heard this in a pedal before; it's got "umph" but not mud or flub.
I've tried it a 18v and 9v. I think I like 9v better, but need to play more.
Single coils sound great and you can still "hear the amp" (no "blanket" pedal sound). I have about 2 minutes with humbuckers, but it sounds cool too.
It doesn't have as much gain as my Danelectro Drive (OCD Clone); wish I could compare it to a real OCD. I think the ultimate dirt board would be Timmy (low gain), DLS (medium), OCD ("high" gain).
Sorry for the brief report, but I've only played it for about 1.5 hours. I'll share more as I spend more time with it.
BTW, I think "Lowatt" has one of these and can comment about the pedal at louder volumes (I seem to recall reading his comments about the DLS on TGP).
