Go!

ODB-3 is the equivalent of riding a unicorn down a chocolate mountain while drinking from a goblet filled with the laughter of children.
I have heard it referred to as the ” Instant Awesomizer “ several times.

I'm biased, but RMA Tetanus Booster. Utility gain cell/line amplifier.

When in doubt, add resistance.

Reviving this thread to sing the praises of the Moen Octave Fuzz. It explodes when you play chords. Objectively a terrible pedal by guitar player standards, but as a tool for piercing shrieks and crackling walls of noise it's brilliant. It's also built wonky and amplifies its own internal workings, so when it's on you can get nice crunchy booms by lightly pushing on the switch without clicking it. Just doing pick scrapes with it is brutal, although it sadly seems reluctant to feed back (the Octave circuit seems to counteract feedback, it breaks up into glitchy piercing noise when boosted enough to feed back at the volumes I can attain) and it's quite noisy when you aren't playing - it sounds like it's gated, but the circuit itself produces a ton of noise - so it's not the best for dynamic playing where you might want some quiet parts in between noise splats. But it's a noisy Octave Fuzz with lots of gain and I found it for $40, so I'm quite happy with it.

Even if you took a few years and learned all the chords you'd still have a limited number of options. If you ignore the chords your options are infinite and you can master guitar playing in one day. - David Fair

I have the EH Crayon

I don't know how it compares sound wise to the ODB-3 but it is very capable of adding range and grunt to any of the homemade noise devices / mics that I plug into it. Very versatile - hence the name Crayon I guess. Adds colour to anything. Top pedal for the price

The balance control on the ODB-3 is magic.


This is still a fantastic box of stupid.
