At what setting does it do the Dumble thing tone?

For under $30 there's no reason you shouldn't.

Then you should check out Suhr SSV, i have a review. I LOVE that pickup. The split is just unreal. One of the best for 22 fretters IMO. Currently my fav neck pickup to date.

How do you use it as boost? What settings? Can it boost a drive pedal?

@@danielforto1016 the common way to boost with a drive pedal is level at 10 and gain at 0 to make the amp sound tighter and have more gain. Some pedals sound better when the tone knob is at noon but I prefer my Ultimate Drive with the tone knob set at 10 as well. Most people use Tube Screamer pedals for this purpose, but I much prefer my Ultimate Drive. I also use a Klon style pedal with lower level and higher gain to give the amp a nice smooth lead tone

@@Mr.Goldbarhello sir! What comes first in chain if I will use ultimate drive as a boost? Is it any drive pedal before the ultimate drive or after?

@@mikeholgado4036 I don't use it as a boost anymore but when I did it was before any other drive in my signal chain

@@Mr.Goldbar I currently have an Ultimate Drive. It is #3 on my pedal board. #1 is a Joyo California and #2 is a TC Electronics Mojo Mojo. I was NOT happy with the distortion characteristics of the Ultimate Drive and was looking to replace it ... but then I read your post. Wow, you are right... it is an outstanding boost. I will be keeping it now. Thanks

Which mooer pedal u think sound like barber direct drive? Or near to close

Can use them together or would that be stupid ?

Thanks! Yeah i agree, they sound really good for the price.

Lajos Vas thank you kind sir 🙏🤗

How do you installed it on your strat? I suppose in parallel it would sound good? Its too high of an output for me

@@obicross I installed the single coil sized tone zone in the bridge position of my strats which nowadays have a 200 dollar 22 fret 24.75 compensated neck. I am mostly an l.p. player so transitioning from one guitar to another. The strat I play now has a cool ? In the neck and a tone zone in the bridge. Sometimes I solo behind my head and the strat shape works well.

@@obicross if you have a sss strat you can use a push pull pot to put any 2 single coil in series making it a full ,fat ,mid enhanced big humbucker sound

they're not true bypass

Tf now i can see it too

I almost tried to blow it off the screen hahaha

same

and the one above

me too, i have a ts mini. VOD with a klon type is just heavenly

Green one i guess. Green one cut more lows tho

ikr lol

Lajos Vas not at all. Sometimes it depends on the quality of the electrical in your place or even the woring of your guitar. Some place has really dirty power so it becomes noisy. I can play with single coil without noise.

lol i did do that, after the first few minutes (where i turn the knob while playing riffs). thanks for checking out though. peeps, please go to this guy if you want short demos. cheers.

well, sometimes you want long demos with a lot of licks and riffs to actually feel what the pedal really sounds like. this guy has done an excellent job in doing so.

Do your own reviews 🤡 Let people do what they want ON THEIR OWN DAMN CHANNEL

I agree 100%

TheMetal036 heheh sorry man. I did it jus a little bit though. Also i dont have this pedal anymore. I have EHX glove though

i think so, haven't tried. should be more subtle than having Ultimate drive in front, in a good way

hmm, i would go for vintage OD to clean up a muddy high gain amp (such as a mesa rectifier, tighten it up) or to boost/give more gain on an amp. i can use it for a blues overdrive on a clean amp too, pretty versatile. suited to my needs.

Bryan Leigh thats cool

pranav badyal it sounds alright but if you're into those players, it would be best if you run it into an amp that is already starting to break up (very slight crunch) and not super clean amp. if you need more saturation you add 1 more VOD as a boost. i think thats how srv would use it.

khoirus sobri I got it. Thanks for the quick reply.

pranav badyal no problem man. glad to help 😊

Thank you!! Fortunately only 2 😂 you must haven't seen my thumb picking yet 😁

Try out Boss Metal Core

Choose with your ears... Not your eyes. Or fuck it. Buy both.

I agree, its a different beast

most common choice would be the VOD, as it emulates the classic tube screamer. Assuming your amp has enough pre gain for metal, both can do a pretty decent job. although i'd say the UD has a lil bit more gain and retain lil bit more bass.

khoirus sobri well, my amp is an Orange Micro terror :) (bedroom setup) and the little thing sounds great but i would like a bit more gain . Was hoping to push it with a OD pedal but cand decide. Joyo ones, Boss sd-1, Ibanez TS7...

Gabriel Tudor for the price you really can't go wrong with these. i bought it for around 30 bucks (i think you can get less). if you never had an overdrive pedal before, i think this is a good starting point without spending too much. i love it's chorus too.

Give the joyo sweet baby a try for modern high gain metal. With the gain up all the way, the pedal gives the crunch channel of any amp a very modern midrange focused (tight and very present ) metal tone. It's probably not the intended use of the pedal, but of the ones I have, is the best metal pedal just because its very tight no matter the setting.

i really wanted to try that pedal. seems like very tasty blues pedal!

nope. thank

Left OCD, Right TS9 clones

+Ste Ro yeah, you can use it like that. Many people use OCD drive to boost an already driven amp.

Koki Zuniga as a booster, it's great! no problem there. But as a standalone drive or distortion in front the clean channel, it lacks a good low end chunk (when you palm mute, its dull/too round/too wooly). it maybe because of blackstar's cab, i haven't tried it with other cab. it's sounds pretty much like in the video. when i tried it in the store it was wayyy better (in front of fender type of amp).

Hey man another question which might be a weirder question , have you ever tried putting delay pedals in front of your amp ? Instead of using the effects loop, like delay + overdrive in to the front of the amp .

i have, though i haven't experimented much. My friend does that all the time. seems like the trick is to not set the delay too much (mix and repeat). see voodoo lab's video on van halen phaser+delay trick.

Koki Zuniga better not do that unless you like the sound

i agree. if you can, connect it to the loop/ but not all amps at the gigs have effects loop, so you have to experiment both.

It depends i guess. But, fyi, i sold the ultimate drive and kept the green one. VO has specific sound people said, its mid boosted, and has a bit rolled off top end. In that sense it might not be versatile for some people. The UD has enough gain for mid gain drive, it can be used as a booster too. But in my case, the VO as a booster is classic, good for boosting a high gain amp, deflub a bassy or flubby amp, and cut harshness of a brittle amp. The UD in my experience a bit picky on amps. if the clean channel, the drive sound is not that pleasant, a bit flubby and dull (on a good amp like a Marshall stuff is great), and as a booster, i feel a tube screamer type is better and easier to dial. If you already got an amp with a drive sound you love, VO might be better for you. But if all you get is a clean amp/tone, then you can try UD for more rock stuff. (UD has way more gain, VO drive has clean sound mixed in)

@@obicross Thanks for impressive reply, I appreciate. I'll get the UD Joyo since my amp overdrive is not that high gain.

So you can use em both together then ?

@@benallmark9671 Yessir

i should've should i? haha

These pedals sound great at a great price.

Just different gain stages, totally up to you. UD has more gain. VD has les but got some mid push and low cut going on.

ToshirokArai yes

thank you

aaron de leon no. ultimate drive is quite gainy, but vintage OD is normal TS overdrive

i think i am tone deaf. somehow both sounds similar to me. i have an ultimate drive and it sounds great for me. i am planning to buy deluxe crunch, for a different tone? would it be much better? is ultimate drive a distortion type?

aaron de leon yeah. ultimate drive is a distortion

Thanks so theres no need for me to get a deluxe crunch joyo. Im hearing about sweet baby? What is better? Vintage overdrive or sweet baby? Thank you for responding to my questions

aaron de leon that's up to you :)

Yes
