Versatile OD to knock up your punch
Great pedal with enough possibilities to crank up your punch, with hooks and knees, to tweak your style. I use this next to the OCD, the SD-1 and the T-Rex Tonebug and it really is so different from all those. It’s the most balanced of them all, with enough power and crunch. It’s easy to use.

This Overdrive Rocks
I bought this pedal to replace the Boss DS-1 that was on my board. While I liked the DS-1, it didn't quite give me the dynamic overdrive tone I was looking for. Now to be fair I'm running them into Fender Mustang so... Anyway, after looking around and consulting my budget, I decided on this baby. The pedal is basically a Marshall in a box type of overdrive. The pedal has MOSFET transistors inside to give a more authentic tube style tone. While the controls are simple you can squeeze a lot of tones out of it. It is a bassy sounding pedal so the tone knob needs to be up past noon anytime the gain is about halfway or so or else it gets muddy. The mid shift mini-switch is nice for adding more volume and cut to your sound. Inside the pedal is a little DIP switch which changes the internal voltage from 9V to 18V for better note definition and clarity. To my ears it sounds more like a Hughes and Kettner at 18V, and a dimed Plexi at 9V. Both tones are good but it sounds better in 18V to my ears. The gain knob is very sensitive to your volume knob and just by rolling it off, you can reduce the gain considerably and so I leave this pedal on during the entire set just because it adds a little flavor and girth to the clean sound when the volume is rolled off on your guitar. When the gain is all the way down it acts as a clean boost and dimed it will take you almost into Big Muff Territory. One thing I would do with this pedal though is buy an EQ pedal to put after this to get a more amp-like control over the sound. While I haven't tried hard to get a metal tone, I don't think that those tones are in this pedal. It's more of a Plexi style distortion, not a JCM800 or JCM900 style Marshall tone. While I would buy this pedal again under similar circumstances, I'm looking into buying a Hughes and Kettner amplifier which will make this pedal somewhat redundant, what with actual tube distortion and all. Overall this is an awesome pedal. It would work good for someone who likes the sound of their clean amp (Vox, Fender) but wants a Marshall-y tone on the cheap for a few songs.

actually the glove uses the mosfets as diodes (and I think a single germanium diode on one side to make the clipping asymetrical) to hard clip the signal sort of like the DS-1 but instead of the clipping being connected to ground they are connected to the bias potential of the dual op amp that provides input and output gain on either side of the clipping and tone circuit.... its a tweaked fulltone OCD, which in turn is a refined version of the discontinued Voodoo Lab OD which pioneered this dynamic diode clipping (but was voiced very poorly compared to the OCD, Glove and chine OCD knockoffs)

by the way, have you played a dimed superlead? I don't feel you can fake that with a pedal (though there are some thigns like the DLS that get in the ballpark in front of a microphone), I used to be a plexi/JMP guy when I played big stages on the reg and its a nuanced sound that's incredibly reactive to the player and guitar settings... there's also a hardness/softness thing to the breakup depending on how you choose to voice your parts (wound vs plains trings) that no one gets right with the ap in a box pedals... like a lot of old amps played well into their distortion range 4 input Marshalls ask you to PLAY THE AMP to coax subtle shades thru voicing, dynamics, pick versus fingers, spongey fignertips versus finger nails etc and you find yourself trying lots of little things instead of stomping effects. After I got my 1st plexi and 800 the pedals disappeared from my rig FAST. Not that my sound got better so much as it got more varied and interesting with nothing in line.
for the record, the 800 is 1 gain stage and a little voicing from an plexi/JMP and if you use it like one getting plenty of phae ivnerter and power tube distortion it will cop a lot of 70s marshall tones and can even pull off some plexi sounds (though it is a gainier and stiffer amp, just use the low gain input, open the master all the way up and twek the tone controls to get the bolder plexi midrange... and make sure you use EL34s and not 6550s)
and you mention vox as a clean platform, this is a misconception... the ac30 is not a champ for headroom (I own 3), its midrangier than a marshall unless you get pretty extreme with the top boost channel and it breaks up pretty early giving up a drive tone that's certainly in the Marshall camp, though more growly than crunchy in general, just a little smoother than a plexi but also a bit more MAGICAL?
don't buy an H&K, I always see them in the shop... if you were looking at those tubemeister heads look at a similar marshall 18 watt-based amp from another manufacturer or something in the ac15 camp like the tiny terror.... the difference between an original ac15 and the marshall 18 watt circuit is tube choice in V1, a few voicing caps and resistors and a little negative feedback in the Marshall tightening the power amp response. VERY SIMILAR

Perfect Overdrive for whatever you need...
Got mine from Island Music and by far the best Overdrive Pedal I have ever gotten. Good with Rich, Clean, Transparent tones and perfect when it comes to turning up the Gain. Has a useful Tone Shifter switch setting that can be applied if you need variation in your Overdrive. Barely noticeable for tone shift, yet still there... Definitely an EHX version of OCD...

Perfect shot
This OD does a wonderful job color your guitar distortion I'm still learning it's value.

Great and Affordable OCD…
I have been borrowing one of the Fulltone OCD pedal as my basic tone to stack on. But the reviews on YouTube will show you, this pedal does this for a lot less.

Cheap, but high quality overdrive pedal
The first time I tried it, this amazing pedal had me. It's so organic and natural. It's possible to go from a great booster to a solid and constant drive! Amazing to use it alone, or to boost up another drive or an amp. To my ears, it sound very close to OCD, but it has the EHX dna on it. Highly recommend!

its very much an OCD with some slight RC network tweaks, yes

Nice OD
MOSFET based pedal that sounds as a classic EL34-powered British amplifier. Responsive controls take you from sparkling, clean boost through brown crunch and all the way to thick, saturated high-gain. Tone Shift and selectable 9 or 18V internal voltage make sound sculpting easy. The OD Glove delivers overdrive and distortion with impact. Similar to the OCD pedal !!!!!!
A lot of response from the volume control...its my only complain....but it can be crunchy and even mild ,,, works great with Les paul and strat too...with Tone Shift switch on, the high mids are boosted and there’s an increase of a few decibels in overall level. I like it on....
41029
its almost an OCD part for part, so its not mosfet based, it just uses mosfets in diode configuration to accomplish its clipping, mike fuller loves this trick... its still IC driven though

My Electro Harmonix Toys.
I have this small pedalboard I use alone at home for practicing, all made of old style pedals, with an Electro Harmonix Soul Preacher compressor, a Soul Food, a The Glove Overdrive, a Neo Clone and a Memory Toy, all nano versions. Why I did that, having already a lot of better pedals? Because of a weird sense of nostalgia for my old times. So now a can say something about these nice toys. First of all, I had to work on internal trim pots of some of these pedals, before having an acceptable sound, the factory settings can be really awful. The controllability of the Memory Toy and the Neo Clone are limited, but that was the way we played in our old times... the Soul Pracher strives to be a bit too invasive even at lower levels, the Glove Overdrive has a nice sound, becoming too muddy already at medium level. Finally, I can say these pedals are really nice toys, especially for older people like I am, but, except for the Soul Food, I wouldn't use any of them in a recording session. My personal opinion, of course.

A great harder rock distortion pedal
This pedal isn't exactly to my taste, but that doesn't mean I can't tell a brilliant pedal when I see one; it's got plenty of drive, plenty of sustain, and the tone shift is always able to give that little extra kick. It has a lot of low end - too much for my own taste, but if that's your thing, this pedal is great for you!
Solid overdrive
I use it on synths. It provides some good overdrive and it won't hurt your wallet much.
