yes. i eventually want to have a cheap modest rack. i was more looking at the Lexicon MX200 & the Alesis Microverb 4 becuz both of those can probably be had for about a hundo or less.

i tried to get a TC Electronics M300 for $50 on craigslist last fall but dude gave me the run around. :(

In that clip way back there, what version of the OCD are you using? I've been looking at those, and from comparision the Version 3 sounds best to me :joy:

Cool, no wonder it sounded great :thumb: Version 4 seems... dull to me.

yeah I haven't heard many great things about version 4. I've never really tried the other versions...v3 was the one they had in the store and it sounded great. From what I hear though, v3 has a good bit more midrange and harmonic richness than the other ones :idk:

check out Gearmanndude's comparision of all 4 versions. I like 1 and 3 but 3 sounds better to me. :thumb:

Got mine this morning, It's pretty awesome. Vibrato is fun :thumb: I wish it had better flanging though, but I'm getting a DEM for that. Though I noticed there is a volume drop when using reverse reverb. :( :cry: :(

Mainly I want to know the LPF and Pre-delay, because i don't understand what the lpf does...

I have the whole unit set -20 on both input and output jacks and have the input volume at around noon. For the reverse reverb settings I have reverse gate with a room size of 12.5, liveness of 10, delay of 25ms, and LPF set to "thru". I don't really know what delay does to be honest...it doesn't really make that much of a difference no matter how I tweak it. The LPF is a Low Pass Filter...I just set it to thru because it sounded best :idk:

Hmm...
I'm not really bonding with mine... Despite it's reverse gate and vibrato fun, nothing else on their really makes it feel like it was worth it to buy, IMO. Might sell it... I guess since I wanted one, and then you got one and made those awesome clips, I went crazy and "had to have one" :idk:

sorry to hear :( ah well, I guess it's not for everyone. I just like having vibrato, panning, and reverse reverb at my fingertips...I don't really use the flangers or choruses or anything...but who knows?
