Rich44 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Im new to effects, but bought a second hand (big mistake I know) Boss ODB-3 pedal as I liked the sound in example videos online. THe problem is when I use the exact settings like in the vids, I get a totally different sound. The pedal hums alot and sounds far to buzzy when turned on, and the only way to get a decent fuzz on it is to pluck the strings pretty hard. I'm guessing it might be a wiring fault, the seller won't except returns, so should I try and get it fixed or just pawn it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Have you checked the battery? Put a brand new Duracell in, or run it on a psu. You'll never get exactly the same sound unless you've got the same bass/amp set up as in the videos. Do you play with a pick/fingerstyle?

I knew it wouldn't sound exactly the same but I just expected it to sound vaguely similar if you get me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
