BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

I have a Fulltone OCD and I really like it. However, at some point, I want to upgrade to an even more boutique and amp-like pedal. What BJF pedal is similar to an OCD, but even better and on the next level?

BJFe = Dyna Red Distortion (plexi marshall)
Mad Professor = Mighty Red Distortion (80's Marshall sound)

Both are far better than the V.4 OCD I had and the Dyna Red is unbeatable for a true amp like sound and touch. To me the OCD sounded like a pedal and got boxy at volume. Bjorn's designs are far from that sounding more amp like at volume and even work well into amps with a little grit.

Ocds have a rather small sweet spot, dont have punch at lower gain levels and dont stack well. Again, BJF are the total opposite.

It is pretty easy to get a Mad Professor, but there will be a wait for a Dyna Red unless you luck into a used one. Not many sell them, and for good reason!

Thanks, I watched a couple demos of the LGW too and that looked really good. But is that more of a low-medium gain pedal? Honestly, when I use my OCD, the gain knob is between 12-2 o'clock so I don't use it for super saturated and high gain sounds.

The LGW is a great and super versatile pedal, but it lacks the complexity of sound/tone the DRD & MRD have. You would run the DRD at about 11 o'clock to hit a similar gain level and you have a very touch sensitive pedal which isnt as compressed as an OCD.

The LGW works great as a booster that can double as an od/distortion where the DRD is an amazing od/distortion that can double as a great booster.

Sounds like I want an MRD. Thanks man!

Yeah, the DRD is a classic of the BJF line. You should look into it. They go for ~400$ on ebay every now and then.

+1 on the DRD - have that and the LGW - both are sooooo killer! Get the DRD and then pick up a LGW or HB and you are entering into the zone!

I need to get me one of those. And a CHII. That baby sounds so good. Too bad I didn't have the money when it passed by last month or so.

this thread reminds me on how GREAT the LGW sounds stacked into my OCD (at lower gain settings). LGW stacks well into almost any dirty sound and might be a good companion to Your OCD.

BBOD if you can find one.
