Nice Plexi in a box!
Marvel drive is an incredible sound pedal. Marshall like, but i got it because its sound is very articulated, clear and it has a great pick response.

Awesome Bluesbreaker clone!
Nice low gain overdrive. Beautiful voicing. Truly dinamic, smooth, and sensitive feel. It has a gorgeous breakup sound.

Goddess!
DW is a drum goddess! Everyone knows that. There are other awesome brands, i like anothers brands, but i don't look aside because my drumkit is perfect. Powerful bass tones, perfect brightness, a gorgeous voice that fits well on any music style. With the correct tunning and skins we can play everything from jazz to heavy metal. It's a matter of excelence in build drums. My ready to go drums when i need a flawless sound.

Affordable with excelent performance mic!
I got this mic to record voice and acoustic guitars. To voice it's a very nice mic to this range of price.

I want it a lot
I need some weird flavours of distortion. Not fuzz, not bit crush, just a different noise distorted sound like this pedal can to offer. I saw several videos and i like everything about it. Maybe i gonna purchase the smallest version, the Civilian Issue, because it's expensive as hell, and don't have presets.

I don't recommend Civilian - it's too basic, presets are all the same

My next purchase
My next purchase is this awesome tool. First because i need some reverb to play with, also because i need some modulation to combine with my Strymon Mobius(that don't mix effects one each other). I think get some different delays and whatever be awesome to my experiences. A great tool taht lacks only a sen/ return in/out. Even though i give 5 stars to this gun machine!

Small soundcard, great quality
I like too much this interface. Focusrite pre are well recognized for its quality. It sounds better than my old Mbox 2. It has 4 outs and give some versatilty to work with. I can send click track for a separated channel, stereo synth and ambience sounds to 2 outs and my voice for another. It comes with a Ableton Live Lite version, that i use a lot. The down side for me is it don't be a USB powered device. Even though, i give 5 stars to this baby.

Seamlessy integration with Ableton with a keyboard to play some melodies
It's perfect for my needs. I can manipulate clips, and play melodies, manipulate filters, and other automations, and best of all, a small package. It saves space and weight. Very good idea from AKAI. I dreamed with this baby, and AKAI becames true, for my luck.

A friend in a live environment!
Best DAW that i had to live performances. It's integrated with my guitar gear, send midi clock to my looper, and at same time playing pre recorded sounds. Other DAWS do this but everything in this software is intuitive and pleseant to find out and go forth. With a midi controller it takes off and the sky becames small. We can record midi and audio, and use the clips to manipulate the informations. I use with a APC 25 keys and it's work seamlessy since the first connection. Very impressive tool.
Version: Ableton Live 9

Great tool!
Zoom B3 is a great multi effects for bass. With a well done DSP that becames its emulations very impressive. The cab and amp simulator, when well configurated, sounds very nice. The effects are a little digital feel, but is possible achieve great sounds, using the blend knob. There are a lot of effects, and it comes chraged with some presets by famous bassists. Its a great DI too! I think get some pedals in the near future, but for a while, it's all that i need. Worth what i paid!

A powerful tool for live use!
My pigtronix Infinity is the center of all my gear. It receives both guitar and bass signal, and i command which play, and when. I use it like a mixer, and looper, beeing that i play both instruments. The bass is attached to a stand, and my guitar stay on my shoulders. This way i can play both and operate the looper. Not problems at all. This pedal allow me make sweet transitions, stops and starts, fade outs. I can save presets using its all possibilities. It's very intuitive to use, and a quick view on manual is enough to learn the most advanced functions. I use it slaved by my DAW, Ableton Live, hooked up to receive beat clock and play together with pre recorded sounds on Ableton. Work seamlessy. Indeed a piece of art by Pigtronix.

My bass generator!
First i was looking for a POG to generate a octave down signal that gonna through a Zoom B3. My idea is to achieve a powerful bass sound this way. I buy the Boss OC3 with a less expensive price and everything that i need. Boss is a great company and have a well recognized reliability.

Little mouth, big fire!
This little beast is a work of art. I had a wonderful Egnater Rebel 30, that have a gorgeous clean sound but a dirty channel too classic, fatty, rounded sound. I wanted something more tight. So i tried this baby and my brain blow up. Nice clean, and a brutal second channel. The clean on it are very useful, clear, with a good amount of headroom, and works well with pedals. I don't know if it's a keeper yet, but i love it, too much. My preference is combos. But, with this tiny weight and size, i don't need worry about carrying my amp. A little tool from a huge company.

Modern sounds and modern look
This guitar take my attention because it's beatiful and it comes charged with Seymour Duncan JB on bridge position. Also the ebony fretboard, mahogany body, Gotoh tuners, split function over both pickups on tone knob, makes me decide to get this baby. It's made in Japan, with a very accurated work of construction. I like the thin neck and the finishing, that allows very fast movements back and forth when i am playing. It's a kind of heavy, but there are many other guitars heavier than my ESP out there. I'm very happy considering my purposes to this guitar. A standard/modern rock guitar with lots of versatility.

Really? nice. Which brand? Have you pics?

Love at first site
It was my first delay pedal and i loved it since the begin. The sound is more than good for me, is something nearest possible to my ideas. I use every preset positions and the tap offer elasticity to the presets. I just love this guy. The down point, yes for me it is, is don't change presets easily with the foot. Do this is tricky if not impossible. I do. But i feel that it injuries the rotary knob too. Well, i am a not yet old guy and don't have problems with my back. So i go down and up and uses it like a performance thing too. But would be great have a more user friendly change banks/presets.

Great blues/rock sound with a TS like taste
Very useful pedal. I combine it with OCD to achieve a gorgeous sound to lead guitar solo. It's nice to chord word and strumming, with low gain for me. I use it on FM and Mosfet to clearer sound than vintage. As a clean boost i heard good comments but i don't use it at all. Well, we know that itá a classic pedal!

My low gain drive to "roar"
This one i use to get low gain drive sounds with a roar texture. Sorry, i cannot say to much things despite of its beatiful sound, and dynamic behavior. I just like it too much, but at same time, still looking around for other, to confirm its quality or even chage it some day. I must try j.Rockett Blue Note/Animal and Red Jasper too. I prefered it over Catalinbread DLS MKIII by far.

the other pedals you mentioned are totally different than an OCD. They are more like well-tuned fuzz pedals that produce an OD/distortion sound because of component selection and careful voicing. The OCD is a very well-refined diode-clipping distortion in the mxr distortion+ camp. Its dynamic behavior compared to a 70s design comes from the clipping diodes being connected to the bias point of the op amp that amplifies your signal, so the amount of clipping and behavior of the clipping is really controlled by how hard you pick. Its a great idea, but sadly not Mike Fuller's like he claims. He lifted the clipping scheme from a discontinued Vooodoo Lab overdrive. The Catalinbread DLS (for instance) is based on the General Guitar Gadgets Brown SOund in a Box kit. Nick makes no bones about the source of his awesome design. The DLS uses 2 Jack Oram designed jfet miniboosters as building blocks to simulate that cool odd-order harmonic content churned out by a vintage plexi front marshall. The minibooster uses a pair of small jfets in push-pull to amplify your signal in a non-linear fashion that makes the jfets even ore tubey than they are used singly in class A. Nick at CB did a great job refining the original BSIAB over the years. All of his foundation drives are VERY impressive.

Nice! Cool informations! it's very helpful know about the "inside"and how the circuit works. For a while i feel just the sound and try put on words my sensations. Considering what you said, i won't find a best overdrive pedal to my needs, because is just the "dynamic behavior" of OCD, what i most like on it. Did you try or hear the Red Jasper?

My prefered amp-like distortion
It's a killer distortion pedal. It lacks a mid freq knob, even though i could achieve a lot of very useful sounds. The sound is very accurated and i'd call it to refined distortion sound. The bias knob helps a lot to achieve the fine tunning of the your tonal search. I had a Bogner Red first, and selled it to get this baby and i'm not sorry about that. It's my substitution to the lack of my amp, when i cannot carry it with me.

Thats actually a very good pedal, man :)

Hey Buddy! :D i'm glad you like it. I love it so much!

A two headed beast!
This one is a two headed beast! I use a lot both sides. The fix'd side to more rasp, texturized fuzz, and the musket side to muff, distortion-ish fuzzes. The great amount of knobs and toggles are very useful to find the sweet spot. I like it too much! Blackout Effectors are a great company that deserves our attention.

Great multi modulation pedal
I just wanted a rotary and a pattern tremolo, but with the money that i'd spend to get it, i could get the Mobius. Apart from great sounds it has too a very twekable possibilities to achieve great sounds. Some effects like Quadrature allows to get some great weird textures. Tremolo is very nice, the pattern tremolo is awesome. I am not a chorus/flanger user, but this effects on Mobius are very 3D-ish and combined with drive or fuzz can make a huge sound. The most useful tool in this pedal is the send/return by far. I use it, pass through my drive chain on it and choosing what i want before or after the modulations. A great goal to Strymon mobius.
