OCD is on almost all the time (barely).

Supplemented by a Rat, TGD, Dirt Transmitter when the part requires.

Dirt Transmitter...It sounds so good with the reverb maxed on my amp and the bias all the way down on the dt.

I knew we had to be bros for a reason. I always seem to fall back on a Rat for od, and a Muff for fuzz. :thumb:

right now i have seven fuzzes and a clean boost on my board. when playing with other people i usually use the 70s Distortion+, which isn't so overwhelming that it scares classic rock types, and the Tone Reaper for the British sound. for my own music i've been using the Algal Bloom, the EQD Sound Shank (i.e. Buzzaround), and the 3-knob Heartben Great Wall in order of gain insanity. i've really gotten to like the Wall for shoegazey rhythm parts.

Snowflake that I finally boxed up (as of late, it's usually just an amp with some sort of booster beating the fuck out of the front end)...and always an EQ. I've discovered that I just can't live without a separate eq anymore for dirt...I'm frequency dependent. Would like to try a fuck or the new magic meter since we're on the topic

Have you tried the Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop? In my experience, that's exactly what it does.

You're making me want a Barbershop, but it's also not like I already didn't want one previously. You know?
