Keeley mod DS-1 or Fulltone OCD???

filthyrich · 21st June 2008, 04:34 AM

I've got a ds1 that I could get modded for 75 bucks at Keeley. I would pay 149 for a fulltone ocd unless I can find one used.

Any opinions on dollar to sound ratio?

Is it worth it to pick up a keeley ds1-ultra and keep my ds-1?

Does the fulltone kick the keeley ds-1's butt or vice/versa or is it too different of an animal to compare.

Do you like cucumbers better pickled?

(my pedals are the above mentioned ds-1, a stock metalzone and a silver big muff pi.)

My cabs are a 4 X 12 jcm800 with g12-65's, a 1 X 10 marshall with a vintage g-10, and a 2 X 12 avatar with g12-30's in it.

I have a epiphone valve jr stock head and the 40w fender hotrod deluxe with 1 stock 12 inch speaker.

Thanks.

i really like fulltone pedals and the OCD is great.

But Im going to throw a spanner in the works here and say go get "stress fx" to make you a red llama clone.

Alternatively try mi-audios range.

boss mods are a little over rated in my books.

I have an OCD, and I did the DS1 mods on the Premier Guitar site that are based on Keeley. They're different. Get both. Overdrive versus distortion. I use the OCD way more, though, into a custom Marshall 18W with Plexi front end (Trinity SIII).

Hi yall,

I have heard the OCD through a 15 watt WEM combo which was hardly "on" - it was a folk gig, say no more!

When my friend stomped on the OCD, I honestly thought I was listening to a raging Marshall or AC30.

Incredible overdrive tone. The gain goes way past trad OD levels eg TS or Fulldrive.

I understand the new Vox Satchurator is based on Satch's Keeley modded DS1

Def check it out!

i like the keeley blues driver mod. check that out if you havn't. probably one of my favorite pedals.

I found a lot of videos for both on youtube. I'm leaning towards both.

Not to bash Mr Keeley's work, but most of his mods are no more than 5-10$ of parts. I rather getting in touch to a geek friend and have him do them for you, Will be much cheaper

you're in nyc? go to rudy's. they usually have both in stock. try em out and see what you like best.

I'm not in N.Y. though. I just never bothered to change the default..actually I don't know how it ended up saying I was from NYC.
