I like it all, but I think I tend to gravitate most towards medium gain with mids a bit on the scooped side, and a lot of clarity. If a drive is described as "open," that's usually one I like. So I guess less compressed?

I dunno. The Mini is my favorite OD. I also love love love the sound of tonebenders and fuzz faces with the guitar volume on like 9, 9.5. Then everything else.

I like overdrives/fuzzes that are clanky, fuzzy, lots of clarity, gritty
I like fuzzes that are pretty smooth and foamy, loose, saggy sounding, farty



OD/Fuzzes I really liked-
Driving Notion (most clangy and unique OD I've ever had)
Hudson Broadcast
JHS Crayon
Mountainking Decomposer
Gain on the DBA Reverberation Machine
Throbak Stonebender
Dwarfcraft Hair of the Dog
The Pre-Post gain/fuzz on the RM1N (most "broken" sounding fuzz ever)

I don't really know why I like these kinds of sounds...I think typical Marshall in a box stuff is pretty boring so I like ODs that have unique flavors which is something that is very hard to come by in an ocean of contemporary OD and Fuzz pedals. Most of them sound like variations on really well worn out sounds.

I like a lot of old music like stuff from the 40s, 50s so that crappy lo-fi sound from old recording techniques is appealing too. I love finding bizarre noises/sounds/flavors of OD/Fuzz/effects in recordings from the 40s/50s/early 60s. I like playing really clean most of the time, so with a OD or fuzz I usually go for pedals that adds a bit of that broken/gritty/clang/lofi-ish thing to the notes when digging in a bit.

Man I still want a Broadcast rill bad.

That's what I bought my legit 2n404 for ..
Got the transformer too. Stoked

Building your own, or replacing in an existing Broadcast? That sounds dope either way!

Clone. It's been on my list for about 2 years.

It's basic as hell but I also will never stop loving a cranked up Marshall head with the treble rolled off.

running a delay into opampOd's and distortion.

How is the Hudson Broadcast on high gain?

Broken gameboy soaring through space, lasers blasting.

YESSSSS!!!


I also like all the fuzz sounds on this album though too...

My absolute favourites are piercing overdrives with strange attack/decay like the Driving Notion.

Fuzz should have upper octave and die a little when I pick super hard.

I like all sorts of stuff for different music but that's my absolute core of favourite sounds I try to use everywhere

I'm a real bassic bass player, just like a low gain drive with tons of low end, and heavy maybe slightly synthy fuzz but still with some natural instrument characteristics (TAFM, Pharaoh are favourites). Again more low more good.

For guitars mid/high end amp distortion. I'm absolutely in love with my DSL being pushed by a slightly compressed boost from high output single coils. I like non muff fuzz with the more velcro the better.

For synths my MS-20 will never leave me and the JD-XA's fucked up LPF is magical.

When can I preorder this from DOD?

The full saturation sounds that interest me tend to be bandwidth limited and best used occasionally (think Raveonettes). I'm pretty hooked on using fuzzes in overdrive zones and stacking them of using the guitar's volume knob for more. This is generally about the artifacts on the edges or tail end of the notes--you can subvert some not-too-out-sounding parts without going full nuke full time. And full nuke hits harder from this starting point. I never pull the trigger on buying or building PLLs because they seem too over-the-top all the time for my use.

I keep forgetting that I need to build an Improbability Drive. I fricking love texture factories like that.
