The BE-OD rips!!! Exactly what I was looking for and I'm impressed how well different pickups sound with it. I had every knob dead at noon when I plugged it in and knew as soon as I turned it on, the knobs are like mm's away from noon after tweaking it. And the Believe will do the trick for the amount I'll use the thing. You can indeed blend it with pretty much any dirt and it'll work. As a clean octave it's a bit gated/glitchy sounding, which I know some people dig but it ain't my thing. I might re-house it, I'm not a fan of those top jacks. At all.
I got the Plexi50's Normal volume on 4, not totally clean, then it steps up in gain with the Tchula, NOTADUMBLE, BE-OD. The compressor in front pretty much turns all of those into a lead tone and they also stack in various configurations well. The Strats and LP's both sound killer without making any adjustments. This whole time I've been trying to find a combination of dirts that'll get into this kind of high gain territory, now I can move on from that.
SDE-3000 guy finally sent a thank you message, but no tracking number yet.
I was thinking.....a VP4 would really solve a lot of areas I don't really want to buy specific pedals for, while removing a few others from the board. I think I might just bite the bullet. This was initially to be a non-modeling board, but this is just for effects and it's silly to limit myself here. The board has turned into my 'I can cover 90% of my ground with this' board and that would just obtain that much more efficiently.
I loathed it. Shocking, eh?
All 3 or 4 times I tried it (including the Deluxe version)... it just screams pedaly disto to my ears.
Poor cleanup and responsiveness. Super compressed. I think there is even an internal trimpot to
adjust something (gain) inside.
I am proud that I held off expressing my disappointment until you had it in your hands, though.
I didn't want to rain on the parade.... so now that the parade is over I can downpour!
