Thoughts on it vs. the CB-30 as my only other overdrive to compare it to.
The Overdrive Mini has some nastier sounds. (Which I like.) The CB-30 sounds more natural and amp like. (Which it what it was designed for.)
The Overdrive Mini's Bias knob is pretty cool. If you roll it all the way to the left, it almost sounds like using a blown speaker. All the way right is more like a fuzz/distortion sound. As you can see from the picture, I like it more midway. The setting shown in the picture is a medium overdrive with a little more snarl than where I have the CB-30 set. I tried it out with my OLY Jag and really like the sound options I get out of it.
Not as pick sensitive as the CB-30, but it does respond to how hard you play.
Both pedals are keepers because they do things a bit differently.
