So in this iteration the Nobels ODR1 is the new addition. It was bought by my 4 kids as a Christmas present (at my request). I shot the pedal out against other overdrives: the Boss Blues Driver, and one of the other Boss pedals (either the SD1 or OD3, or maybe both of them).
I needed space for it, so the TC Electronics Hall of Fame (HOF, a reverb pedal) lost its place. I prefer the reverbs on the Simplifier X and wasn’t using the HOF.
I tidied up the pedal arrangement a bit (that sits better with my OCD tendencies). I may need to make space for a page turner, but I probably don’t have a need to read until well into next year. The one I use (see previous iteration) is red though which will add a bit of colour balance😀.
I moved the Bad Monkey after the ODR1 and JHS distortion with the intent of using it as a boost. Thus far for instrumental breaks I’ve been kicking on the compressor though. This sounds quite good with the ODR1, but is a bit much with the distortion. I think (for instrumentals) I may experiment with the compressor and ODR1 together, with the Bad Monkey acting as a boost for the distortion.
