Need a new overdrive/distortion

Post by sheeparecountingme »

Something that would give me some radical heaviness! I was looking at the Fulltone OCD but I'm open to other suggestions! Please and thanks.

In no particular order I recommend one of these Elements, Black Forest, or Fuck Overdrive.

Blackout mantra, if you want a dirt overdrive it's ballsy as all get out. The eq section makes it easy to pair with your amp too.

My two favorite OD's are by Earthquaker Devices: the White Light and the Monarch.

I would also suggest the BAT Black Forest as well as the White Light. More-so the Black Forest.

I'm interested in the DoomiDrive but I havent had the chance to try one out

I think that's pretty heavy-sounding. I'd like to get one for myself one of these days.

Doomidrive rules. I want another one.
Maybe partying will help.

If you REALLLLLY want to bring the heaviness, to me the most obvious choice is rocking with our main man Ryan and getting a Dr Scientist The Elements. Brutally heavy, or sparkling and boosty, The Elements does it all.

Fuck OD is also very cool, but a little more limited in scope than the Elements and has its own vibe. Can't go wrong with ILF builders.

Thanks for all the help guys! I called up a few shops today and one of them has a Monarch in stock which I'm going to give a try. But the Black Forest looks incredible. Right up my alley. If I'm not crazy about the Monarch, I'll put the cash down for that.
