topheteatwo Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I wanna hear all of the best alternatives to the Fulltone OCD (my favourite OD on bass), not including the Oh See Demon Gimme your best suggestions! Quote
GazWills Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I think the Xotic BB Bass Preamp is pretty damn nice. Not quite as nasty as the OCD, but does a very good low to mid OD. I used to own an OSD but prefer the BB and my other od/distortion pedal (early series fulltone bassdrive) Edited January 6, 2014 by GazWills Quote
GazWills Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Have you tried something like the W&C phat phuk (looking at your gear list, something to slam the front of the SVT would be cool, I used to use a phat phuk to push my old 70's bassman into overdrive) Quote
topheteatwo Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I've heard about it a lot but I've never considered it, I just like that low OD sound that the OCD does, I'll take a look at the Phat Phuk though! Quote
topheteatwo Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Btw dude checking out your band My Own Flag Sounds amazing dude! Quote
Wud Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Way Huge Pork Loin, with some internal trim pot tweaking maybe?. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 BB preamp for days, I have 2 and a clone. But depends if you really want the HPF or LPF filters on there too. I use a line selector for clean bass and have the ods bass eq turned down Quote
topheteatwo Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Prime BASS, you're the Basschat ambassador for the BB Preamp! Is it a good OD that would work well running into the Rat Tail? I've been looking at it and it could be a winner! Quote
GazWills Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 BB ambassador #2 here... My BB is amazing when driving my TFR so I vote yes Quote
Sibob Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 It depends whether you want pedals based off the OCD circuit, or simply similar overdrives. The BB Bass Pre is a fantastic drive pedal, but it is not based off the OCD. Just sayin' Si Quote
Guinness21 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Anybody have experience of the cog effects tarkin fuzz? Sounds like it could be quite tasty. Quote
Sibob Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Well it's a fuzz, so nothing like the OCD at all. But the Grand Tarkin is brilliant!! Si Quote
