I like this method of comparison because it's quick, and you know every pedal is getting the exact same input (so the guitarist isn't accidentally strumming harder or softer on one pedal versus the others. .)

Worth noting: The OCDs can take higher volts than standard 9V for increased headroom. The Glove has an internal switch for a power charge which makes higher volts out of your standard 9 volts - but don't plug anything higher in it! For a pedal in this price range it is incredible.

Different unity volume between V1.4 and V2 is caused by impedance issues. If you put the V1.4 first in the chain, it’ll be much louder. The V2 fixed this issue with the new buffer so it doesn’t matter where you put it anywhere in the chain.

I like the od glove the most of these 4 pedals. And I think I can explain why it sounds like the the 2.0 while coming out 2 years earlier. To my ears the 1.0 or 1.1 whatever the first one was called had more mids with the 1.2-1.4 they scooped the mids, which is why the bottom and the highs are so huge! Then they based the 2.0 on the 1.0 and that is why it has differences from the 1.4 and yet sounds like the od glove. The Oh Sea Demon was based on the 1.4 and so that is why it sounds like that pedal. Cheers.

@thesociophobe84254 жыл бұрын
From what I could find out the OD Glove was based on or closer to version 2.0 of the OCD. For me the Glove sounded better in my set up until I ran the OCD V2.0 at 18v, then it gained a slight advantage. Personally I found the Glove better at higher distortion, but at lower gain the OCD was more musically useful, nicer harmonic overtones.
