I tried some so called “transparent” overdrive pedals but this pedal is the one i found as a real transparent.
I am using Blues Junior 3 amp and have been looking for a pedal which will not boost or cut any eq for both pickups. Finally i found this pedal that gives me what i wanted.
The other two words are dynamic and versatile. Volume pot on the guitar or picking can change the taste of the overdrive. I am boosting this pedal with Tumnus and the result is spectacular. I set volume and gain at 1o’clock on ODD and crank drive on Tumnus: Both solos and ritms are great sounding…
It has 3 knobs which are obvious; but one additional switch is changing the eq actually. I found UK is too treble for me so i use US with my Fender amp and Fender telecaster. Moreover i liked the bypass switch which is very comfortable, you don't have to kick your pedal to switch on/off.
I have never tried OCD but it is said that this pedal is based on v1; if they would put a switch for different OCD versions, that would be legendary :)
Pedal comes with 9v battery inside btw. To change/remove it, you need to use tool (eg pliers) to relief screws on both sides.
In conclusion, this pedal became my main od pedal and will be for a long time i believe. I highly recommend this for everyone who wants a good and transparent od pedal.
