Warm Audio Mutation Phasor II & ODD Box

[@Protocol_17]

I’m hearing vocal lines in that phaser. The overall tone in the opener is very inspiring.

[@seventwistsclockwise]

It's a six stage phase I believe

[@coffeedudeguy]

That box looks ODDly familiar…

[@Protocol_17]

It also sounds better.

[@nicknickson3650]

@@Protocol_17 I think the OCD 2.01 running at 18v is the best OCD there is. It's rare since it sold out so fast and then he retired immediately after. Luckily I got one :)

[@electricgypsyblues4761]

​@@nicknickson3650I dont agree. I have the last version and version 1.4. 1.4 on 18 is the best out of them all. Just my opinion

Almost like the designers had OCD lol

Good deal for the quality of those pedals, they sound awesome. Your the G.O.A.T., Andy.

[@paulsguitarstudio126]

I love the size of this pedal and it is a heavy robust build. If you like the tiny little pedal thing this won't be your choice. It is a unique phaser voice with an envelope filter quality that is downright cool. I dig it and I was impressed by the build of it right out of the box. Not an empty box of a few components, better than the original as are all the Warm Audio reproductions! I thought Origin pedals were a solid build, this puppy is outstanding. If you know Mutron and how to play with a phaser and not merely just through it it can be quite unique. Towards the end of this Andy starts a sample of what it can do. Don't confuse this or compare it to a 90 type circuit, it's different and unique.

[@timcasebeer4808]

Andy, thanks for all the great videos. I always look for one of your product demonstrations before making a purchase. You appear to be an endless fount of riffs, textures and etc. Do you ever harness your creativity into full songs and are you gigging anywhere presently ?

[@andybungert]

Wow to both, and those prices cannot be beat!!!!

[@marvinmartin3438]

Dude, I'm buying this pedal as soon as I sell the pedal I bought last week with the money from the pedal I sold the week before. Just hope I can sell this pedal to buy the one that comes out next week. Just sayin

[@silviolutti1522]

Think of it this way: this ODD pedal is for those who want to have only the advantages of an OCD and leave the defects of the fulltone ocd pedals. Finally an "OCD"(ODD) that can be used in all respects (gain travel included) without being submerged by all that useless and muddy bass of the original OCD. The pedal harks back to version V1.4. All those fulltone OCD basses (who likes them) can also make a positive impression when you play alone, perhaps at home, but I assure you that when you are in a live context with a band, on the contrary they are a serious problem. The difference between the warm ODD and the fulltone OCD is that the ODD sounds great on its own, without the need to add another overdrive, and that you can use the gain up to three-quarters of the way, while with the OCD you are forced to keep the gain low and push it with another overdrive (like ts-9), otherwise it won't stand out in the mix. Furthermore, warm audio did an excellent job with the equalization of the odd pedal: the mids and medium/high frequencies when you raise the gain they don't fall behind as in ALL OCDs, and it is precisely the mid frequencies that are the most important. One last thing: after version v1.7, the construction of the OCD pedals inside is 90% entirely surface mount (SMT), including the GE model, while warm audio the ODD is not only built entirely with a through hole, but uses premium components selected and assembled by hand and even mounts a germanium diode, and lastly ( but last but not least), it has a silent switch with no pop when turned on, while the OCD switches make noise.

[@tonedowne]

I use a Headrush board live, and both of those pedals see a lot of action. The one thing I would add to the Tron pedal is a tap tempo. Because that effect sounds incredible doing triplets But yeah an OCD and a tubesrceamer is all the drive I need to RTF out of any room.

They totally need to come up with a different from for US and UK. It absolutely looks like it says "US" and "UH" Sounds brilliant though.

[@thesimulations8900]

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

@@thesimulations8900why pay $150 for a purported clone that sounds nothing like the original.

[@asterhogan1]

Well... most pedals are clones of amp/studio sounds and others are clones of other pedals so if you can find the originals then get the originals if not then these are great too

[@yungstaben7675]

I’d buy this ODD even if I could buy the OCD because Fuller is notorious for being a dick. 😅

[@joermnyc]

I get it’s traditional, but a pedalboard friendly sized phaser would be better. (aka, that monster won’t fit!)

[@JonathanHiller]

It's quite a lot smaller than the original Mutron, version 1. That thing was a huge tank of a pedal, and MAN did it sound good. This pedal sounds stellar, too, though.

[@lastboxofsparklers]

Cool. However, and I don't usually care much about small nuance differences between vintage and reproduction gear, the phaser sounds nothing like my phasor ii... It sounds a lot more like a ehx phaser, not the weird almost vibrato-like velvety smooth phaser that comes from the vintage pedal.

[@lastboxofsparklers]

This is a good demo that displays what is hard to put in words. The WA pedal has WAY too much "wowel" sounds and is much too "honky". The reason me, and many others, love the phasor ii is the way it does phaser without sounding like a phaser. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTKkGekn7Wkh8k

[@phiz_z3905]

True. I saw this announcement and got exited because no one makes a phasor 2 clone… however it really sounds nothing like a phasor 2. I’m having trouble fitting mine on my board due to its large size but for now It’ll definitely be staying..

[@lastboxofsparklers]

@@phiz_z3905 same, would have loved if it actually sounded at least almost right so that I could have a spare that doesn't hum (mine lives with a loud 110v transformer) but alas.

Warm Audio is about to get sued for stealing trade dress by Mike Fuller. He moved production to Nashville and is making OCDs again.

[@jspartacus]

Nah. You can only copyright a drawing of a circuit, not the circuit itself. You can try to patent a circuit, but it's very hard to prove in a court of law that your circuit design is not "obvious to a person skilled in the art."

[@3rdStoreyChemist]

@@jspartacus Trade Dress is something very different. It's about the look of the product and how close it is to an existing product. Behringer had to redesign and rename a bunch of their products due to infringing on Trade Dress of Roland/Boss products, both in & out of production. Basically you can't make a product look like a different brand.

[@3rdStoreyChemist]

@@jspartacus That said, the Mutron infringes more than the ODD does.

[@jspartacus]

@@3rdStoreyChemist infringe on what? You can only use that term if the circuit is copyrighted.

[@tacdoc8736]

@@jspartacus I’m not talking about the circuit. I clearly wrote about trade dress. Pedal companies have sued & won over trade dress, because of how a pedal looks. It’s clearly designed to look like the FT OCD & WA is US based, even if they have their pedals made in China.

[@bla_blub]

Cannot believe it's legal to steal designs like this, cannot believe anybody wants to buy these. Or are these licensed by the original manufacturers? Otherwise I would be ashamed having one on my pedalboard or even advertising these.

[@okaytastic6691]

Do you feel that way about his guitar too?

[@TomWebbFilms]

Josh Scot did a great video about the differences between cloning, copying and counterfeiting. Any circuit is fair game as you can’t copyright a circuit. You can have a design influenced and inspired by the original (I’d argue these fall into that category) and then there are counterfeits that steal the “trade dress” of a pedal so they look identical and are designed to fool someone into thinking it’s the real deal. There are plenty of OCD clones out there, this looks like a great one.

[@Protocol_17]

There’s nothing new in electronic circuits. Just variations and grade of components.

[@brandonjackson5865]

Being that full tone is closed, it’s more like a tribute than a ripoff. You already got no telling how many clones and copies of the OCD. I really don’t see anything wrong with this, it’s definitely more of a tribute than the Chinese that actually say OCD on them. It’s a great overdrive circuit someone or everyone is bound to make one.

[@AndyDemos]

@@brandonjackson5865 Tribute is the perfect term, it's never stated that these are part for part recreations. Thanks!

Nice try, but having collected pedals since the early 80’s, no cigar as they say. The ODD sounds nothing like the OCD.

Better, actually.

[@ScottyBrockway]

Warm audio nicely packages cheap reproductions, not impressed with any of them. Really rude too to put out pedals when the real things are still available like the Mu-Tron from Mike Biegel. High Quality is a joke with the $2 X-wing switches they use.

@@Protocol_17My OCD is from the first batch. The ODD doesn’t come close. In fact, I would take a Friedman BE OD over it.

[@thesimulations8900]

Rude when they're still made? Fulltone is closed and I don't think Mike Beigel has anything to do with current Mutron. Mu-Fx was his company and like the original Mutron, they're done. Those circuits don't look like cheap crap to me. Go pay big bucks for the originals and let those who can't afford $500 pedals create music.👍🏻
