    They're awesome. I love mine, when I use it. Is the guy still making them?

    Ya, now its a 2 button version. I'm just worried because it's a BIG chunk of change.

    That's cool, so I guess now one button is the more/less toggle. Its a sweet pedal! The price has definitely gone up since I got mine.

    If you're looking at boutique overdrives, I have to suggest that you check out this

    Lovepedal Eternity (there's 3 clips)
    http://www.lovepedal.com/eternitysquare.htm

    Also, shop around the Fulltone website. They've got a lot of great OD pedals.

    Just all depends on what your looking for. In my taste it's a little to aggressive.

    The Eternity is really something else. I don't think I've heard a smoother overdrive. It's pretty damn expensive though, at $300+. If you want crunch though, I'd say the Greedtone is more of a distortion pedal than an overdrive. It does get really aggressive. The Fulltone stuff has a little more range to it, you can dial it from light overdrive to crunchy depending on your guitar's volume pot. I have an OCD and it works great for this.

    Fulltones link doesn't work, which item you talking about?

    For some reason I thought you had a OCD? Can't keep everyones stuff straight.

    The real question is, what amps you playing through and what you planning on playing!

    I was lookin at an OCD a while ago, and the item was the new GT500. The OCD is still a possibility. Gear right now is an American Strat through a Traynor YCV80Q. A Les Paul is on the way at some point. Playing style, all over the place, but more in the Mccready type stuff, meets Aerosmith (hence the les paul).
    Lotsa blues and hard rock, but not really any metal.

    GT500 is definately a interesting peace. I've only heard the OCD, Full Drive II, Soul Bender and 69 fuzz in person. Those sound clips they have on most of the is dead on for sure.

    The Greedtone stuff just sounds a bit aggressive for me, but I could probably dial it into something I like. The OCD sounds good in front of Marshal esqe amps for sure.

    Yeah, it all really depends what you're looking for.
    The Greedtone is an agressive pedal . . . and it's $250.
    The LovePedal is a more bluesy pedal (to me it's to similar to others out there), and it's . . . $299.
    I really like this guys stuff click here: Wampler Effects - changed the name from click here: Indy Guitarist though both sites still exist.
    He does great MOD's as well - I think maybe even some of them better than Keeley.
    Brian also plays all of his pedal sound clips through normal amps like a Fender Hot Rod and Twin, Vox AC15, and Peavey Classic-50.
    This way you can get a more accurate representation of what the pedal really sounds like through an Average Amp.
    And lets face it, "many builders give you soundclips through a $3K boutique amp . . . nearly everything sounds great through them".
    Cheers . . .

    The Greedtone is a really cool OD. I enjoyed mine while i had it, but at the end of the day, the Throbak ODB is the only OD I need. It's an optimized version of an old Colorsound Overdriver.

    Amazing pedal. He makes batches of them ever once in awhile right?

    I'm not completely sure how he does it, but he's quite the gentleman. Incredible pedal, great price, came with a power supply, and he sent me a t-shirt for free with it!

    Also, mine (and the only other one I've seen) has this bright, beautiful fucking blue on/off indicator light. :D

    Consider all options though.. the greedtone just happened to work for me but it's not perfect for everything.
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..
