Sibob Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I put together a comparison vid of the overdrives in my pedal drawer at the moment, thought it might be on interest. Absolutely use headphones or decent speakers please Recorded with my custom US Lakland 44-94 passive P/J (both pickups on, tone up full), slightly gigged 45-105 Lakland strings and a Dunlop 1.14mm pick. Riff played into a TC Electronics Ditto, looped and recorded into a Focusrite iTrack Pocket after the pedals. Pedal order is: -COG Mini 66 (custom 'Seaweed' enclosure painted by Claire Cousins) -Schalltechnik Guma Drive (Darkglass Vintage clone DIY kit) -Fuzzrocious Dark Driving (in 'Dark' mode) -Fuzzrocious Broke Dick Peanut Gallery (BDPG) -DHA VT1-Pro-Bass-Drive Preamp/DI (the only Tube pedal here. I just concentrated on the drive section and don't really explore the considerable EQ section) -Fuzzrocious Demon -COG Knightfall 66 (Prototype: Germanium diodes on channel 1, LEDs on channel 2) This isn't meant to be a definitive demo of each pedal, more of an overview and how they compare tonally to each other. Cheers Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You should try a buffer before the BDPG - I thought the one I had sounded terrible with a passive bass going straight in for some reason, but awesome with another drive pedal or even just a clean buffer in front!

I always thought it sounded great on its own, it kinda needs a cab to get the best out of it, not a DI recording. But you are right, it stacks excellently with other drive pedals.

Thank you for taking the time to do this:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @Sibob Hey thanks for putting that comparison together, appreciated! Having just succumbed to GAS on another synth pedal already this week, Mrs Krow will be relieved that my Two Notes and Mojomojo are still both feeling very secure on my boards...

That sounds a bit odd. The BDPG is basically a trimmed down Kreuzer on-board preamp with a boost (actually an EHX LPB-1 modded for more bass throughput) in front of it. Confirmed by Ryan Ratajski himself on TB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it does - a preamp that needs a preamp before it to sound good?! I thought it was based on the Electronix Submarine preamp myself. Anyhow, all I know is it sounded pants with my passive P straight in, but glorious with any buffered pedal inbetween! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Submarine preamp is a Keutzer with a few mods too so they're in the same family. Edited November 20, 2017 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
