Placebo drive

[callingltu]

Hey ,

I was just wondering which pedal would reproduce that soft drive sound like in Special K

I have russian muff, but i use it for high gain stuff and have odb-3, but i find it very useless in almost all situations, it cuts the low end, and sounds like sh*t when i turn low eq up . I got it for around 30$ and was hoping to get something like Special K sound, but it just cant do that

Any suggestions guys?

turn the gain down on your ODB-3 to like 7 or 8 o'clock, turn the hi control right down, set the mix to 50%, turn the low control up until you're not losing low end anymore, then turn the high end up to taste.

It's not a great pedal, but it does low gain sounds quite well IMO.

I totally agree with you. I keep thinking of gettind rid of mine in favour of a Fulltone Bass Drive, but it still seems to provide an acceptable overdrive.
