ahh bummer, i was looking at a schematic for the OD05 and it certainly looked like that pre-clipping mid control was gonna do something cool...I only tried it for like an hour because it is not 100% complete yet, but it is cool, but different than I expected. I thought it was going to be a Tubescreamer with a parametric mid band, but it is more of a flat transparent booster that can add some grit like a Tubescreamer, and then you can can sweep the mids. The mid sweep in mine is uneven (70% of the sweep is in 5% the knob turn), but it seems cool. It wont tighten like a TS, but it is cool to add some grit to a sound.
custom badass modified OD - Own one
way huge swollen pickle mkII - Built a clone
fulltone OCD - Have a Joyo Clone
SD-1 - Own one
KOT (single channel) - Havent tried, but I did build a Bluesbreaker clone
klone - Built a clone
bjfe/mad prof little green wonder - Haven't tried this. A TS clone?
GT-OD / ZW-44 - Own a MXR Classic OD, which is the same
OD-1 - Haven't tried but I know it is basically a SD-1 without a tone control
OD808 - Own a Maxon
TS808 - Have several variations and clones
DOD250 - Own one
RAT - Built 2 clones, one stock, one with clipping options and a sweep pot.
One of my favorite ODs is the Way Huge Green Rhino Mk II. I own one, and also built a clone of one. I have a few more PCBs for more also if I ever need them, lol. It is like the CBAOD on paper, but I think it sounds better. It chugs with you in feel more.
I have built so many clones that would take a thread to itself, lol. I think some of my favorites are clones of the Duncan 805, Timmy 3, Precision Drive, Buxom Boost, Naga Viper, and VFE Ice Scream, which is a cool Tubescreamer with more EQ and parametric mids based pedal. I have many others, but find myself using those the most.
sounds like the way huge green rhino mkii needs another look... is it as gainy as the CMBOD? I really like the SD-1, GT-OD, but i found the CMBOD was a bit too spicy / compressed for a high gain channel (however worked quite well with a lower gain channel).
[little green wonder is some blueser TS variant. i thought might be cool. its not for me. has a dual gang 'body control' instead of tone control, and uses green LED soft clippers in NFB]
