paul_5 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi All, I've been through a couple of dozen dirt boxes in the last year or so, and am sort of happy with the James Lomenzo box at the moment. I've suddenly realised I've played just about everything except the Boss ODB3. Are they any good for just adding a little bit of grit?

cheddatom Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 in my opinion, yeh, but you have to use it very subtley because anything other than very low gain does tend to sound a bit "fizzy" which is the main complaint about this pedal.

hamfist Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) No, The ODB-3 is poor at adding just a touch of grit IMO. However, if you are happy with the James Lorenzo box then I suspect that your "bit of grit" may be a bit more than my "bit of grit". It also cuts mids significantly, which is bad news in terms of cutting through with a band I suggest that you try an ODB-3 out. They are pretty much everywhere after all.

cheddatom Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 which cuts mids, the J-Lo or ODB3? I have my ODB set with the low control quite high and the high control quite low, giving me a big bottom boost for choruses and the heaviest of riffs. It doesn't seem to cut any mids? The J-Lo apparently just distorts mids leaving lows and highs clean, which would give you plenty of control to boost mids rather than cutting.

hamfist Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's the ODB-3 that cuts mids to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
