It sounds cool therefore it’s right! Simple as that. Creativity doesn’t focus on theory it focuses on the emotion flowing through his soul to his hands, yes it’s likely he had a little jam with it beforehand to figure out what worked and what didn’t but I guarantee he wasn’t studying jazz guitar scales!
Im fed up with this argument that Noel is a mediocre guitarist. Ok, so he isn't Jeff Beck with his technicalities, but some of his lead parts are brilliant and perfectly fit the songs. That isn't easy to do, even if you do have amazing technical ability. A lot of these so called "better guitarists" would end up over playing and completely ruin the song. Give me what Noel has over people like Satriani and Vai etc, any day of the week. They are mediocre in comparison to Noel. He's written some of the greatest songs EVER written. Music isn't about technical brilliance. It's about emotion.
@@82Gallagher erm no. Elton John is another great melody maker but he can't play guitar. Dude...stop please, Noel Gallagher is an average guitarist. By his own admission.
I found this pedal today for $40 on facebook marketplace it’s the Japan version. I don’t have the 12 volt adapter so a threw a fresh 9v battery in and I really did not expect a lot. But to my surprise the pedal blew me away this is definitely a sleeper pedal. If you can find one I don’t think you would be disappointed.
I'd love to see this back. I used one in my late-90s band for six years. We called it the Bachman-Turbo Overdrive (and even scratched "Bachman" on the casing) because the first time I used it was during a soundcheck when I played You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet to check my driven rhythm tone. Such a great sounding, reliable pedal. I really miss it.
Excelente review hermano, así se deberían hacer reviews de drives con amplificadores limpios para ver cómo reaccionan, el tono limpio estaba hermoso por cierto 🫂🇲🇽
I find if it’s after a ts9 and before a micro amp.. while it sounds great on it’s own, you can take the shape it makes your signal.. and make it louder with the micro amp.. making up for the lack of output.. (non turbo both around noon) which pushes the front .. the ts9 added gets it more tight and well.. gnarly :) and yes the power needs to be daisy chained with a modern pedal, battery, correct 12v, or modified ;) it has a quality where you forget it’s a pedal ;) I like turbo also.. particularly turn the gain down. To me it seems it acts like an amp.. like as in boosting it with tube screamer gives you yet another sound :)
The LED looks dim because this version was designed for the ACA power adapter. If you are using a regular power adapter you are under-powering it. The next version OD-2R switched to PSA adapter powering and also fixed the unity gain issue and included a remote jack to switch from turbo mode to normal. Great pedal and review by the way. Anyone looking to buy, try and get the OD-2R version. I have both and the actual drive sounds are identical - just louder on the 2R at the same volume settings.
Hola. Hay alguna diferencia en el circuito, del OD2, respecto al OD2r???? Aparte de que en este último, la función turbo la puedes activar mediante un conmutador de pedal on/off .
I bought the version with remote switch cheap at a fleamarket years ago, and loved it right away. Im not really a guitarist so I use it for other instrumenet too, like cheap Casio organs, circuit bent toys and synthesizers. It generally works well with those too.
Hard to find good sounding videos of the OD-2....this is it...just what i wanted to hear...Thanks for this! I've got one of these coming and can't wait to try it out with my Les Paul Tribute. Cheers!
I bought one of these second-hand about 20 years ago. Got it home, tried it out- sounded complete pants with my Strat. Level had to be completely dimed, don't know why they even bothered putting a knob on it. The "normal" setting was thin and weedy. Serious lack of bass on both settings. Put it in a drawer and forgot about it. Found it again about 5 years ago, tried it again. Still pants. I did some research, and other opinions seemed similar, but I found out about the MSM Workshop mod kit. Bought it, fitted it. Wow! Complete transformation! The "normal" mode is rich and warm, and the Turbo mode roars! How you managed to get such a decent sound from a stock model I've no idea. Hat's off to you sir, you make it sound great!
Was my first ever pedal (got mine when they first came out in '85) and was a staple in my setup for three decades. I almost always used it to add gain to an already overdriven amp sound, either for hard rock rhythm tones, or as a solo boost with the turbo on. That's all I ever really knew to do. I moved away from it with modelling/pre-amps and then lots of other OD and distortion pedals. It was a shame, because I lost my "signature" sound and was always searching to re-discover it. Fortunately I never sold it. They're only $50 on Reverb even for a "vintage but well-gigged" one like mine. But your appreciation of it has me determined to toss a few underused overdrives off the board and put it right back where it belongs. Thanks for a great video. Long may the OD-2 rule as the "most underrated!"
Thank you so much the best demonstration yet with the cloud burst. You just done that the way it was designed to do. I appreciate your touch. I have one I love it still learning from it so much so much variety..
Watching this brings me back as I used to run an OD-2 into a JC-120 back in the 80s. Totally wrong for the music I was playing at the time but a nice sound.
This is one of two pedals that I bought this year. The other is an MXR Micro Flanger. They are together on a small board, along with the Cloudburst's expression pedal. I am satisfied.
I always wanted to be a guitarist and only had to become a very good rock singer (it costed me nothing instead paying for guitar lessons....😄) But years pass, no chance for a career and think I want to compose music for my pleasure only. So I bought a 90$ guitar and cleaned the dust away from the box of that OD-2 I bought soooo many years ago, it is mint. Really have to test it, but it sounds it is good enough! Thanks for the video and everybody comments!
Nice demo thanks ! I do own an OD-2 Turbo and your video totally change my mind about it !! I like it a lot more now ! Btw what reverb are you using. Sounds really nice too.
