OCD vs. Barber DD

Post by lank81 »

So I've had my Fulltone OCD for a while and love it. It's a great pedal and a versatile OD/Distortion. I just recently traded a Blues Pro for a Barber DD as the Barber pedals seem to be built well, are hand made in PA, and have a darker tone to them, or so it seemed via ProGuitarShop Demos. My ears were really surprised when they heard a much brighter pedal. The DD has some great sounds and is versatile as well but man is it a much brighter pedal than the Fulltone. That being said, I'm not quite sure if the DD will stay on the board. I'm thinking of possibly going with an LTD to have a more low / transparent OD. Any suggestions on a Low / Transparent OD to compliment my OCD?

DLS on Rock setting, Danelectro Transparent OD (v1), or a Timmy would be my suggestions.
Having said that the Barber Ltd also sounds really good.

marshall bluesbreaker might be an option too, unless you want to go down the TS route.

Yea,
I was thinking of possibly trading the DD for an LTD SR as it's a well built pedal but just too similar to the OCD but not as good :). I'll definitely check out the others as well though. I know DLS gets tons of love everywhere. I'll give the bluesbreaker a listen but I never get too attached to TS voiced pedals. I traded my MI Audio Blues Pro for the DD. Damn Blues PRO was a noisy beast.

On a side note, Mike thanks for the Green Muff build. Looks / Sounds great.

I wish somewhere around here had a DLS. I can't justify trading the Fulltone before I hear one through my rig or a similar one.
