Looking for OD Suggestions, WOO!

I might not have the money (now) to get a really fantastic overdrive, but I'm looking into them now, so I can prepare when I can get it.

I've done some soundclip searching and the Fulltone OCD sounds really good. I'm particularly looking at boutique-range stuff, as I feel it's probably the best sounding and it will last the longest on my pedalboard.

Keeping the budget no more than $200. I might be selling my Whammy pedal, I don't seem to be using it much at all. The DF-7 will for surely go once I get a new distortion. I'm looking for something versatile but not confusing.

The type of overdrive I'm looking for is something along the lines of JCM range. I can probably tweak to tastes. More than likely I'll be running it through the distortion channel on the V33 anyways, so I don't need overly much grit.

Thanks in advance.

MXR GT-OD is what i am currently using and before that was a Cusack Screamer. i much preffered the sound of the MXR over the Cusack and it sounds a tighter which is a win

Anyone else?

yeah here http://www.pedalgeek.com/cgi-bin/new_shop....query=overdrive theres about another 210 though strangely enough no MXR GT-OD

not too sure to be honest, most of the od pedals i've tried would either suit the "not too much grit" aspect but be too expensive (e.g. klon centaur) or else fall under budget but probably have too much gain (e.g hbe power screamer)...

So say price tags don't matter.

What would you suggest for the grit of a JCM800 in pedal form? I've decided it's probably not the best idea to use my gain channel on the amp, as many have said, it sounds very muffled.

i'm not sure, i haven't actually ever tried a jcm800, lol. i like my hbe big d distortion pedal for that marshally 80s tone, but there are probably other options too... i'm hearing good things about the mi audio crunch box, zvex box of rock, etc. etc. but i haven't ever been able to try those...

THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR!

i haven't tried a (fully functioning) one either

it's kind of ridiculous, several shops here have them, just every time i'm in them there's something i want to try more, and i figure the 800 will always be there so i can try it some other day...

That's funny Dave.

There's those pedals on guitarfetish.com that I've been meaning to look into more, but I'd have to pay sales tax as they're located in my state. The pedals are $230 minus the 3-stage one which is $290. But apparently they have an 800-like pedal.

same here... kinda. it's either that or it's too quiet in the store to crank it at all haha.

They're only worth playing if you can get em cranked, but man are they worth playing!

For ODing I'd go with heroin. Your body might turn a cool green color.

that's what i figured too...
