It kind of bothered me that the amp made all the pedals sound so similar, although I guess there's something to be learned in that as well. If there is a next time, a much less friendly amp will be used :-) I couldn’t agree more.

One thing I noticed though, being an owner of the Fulltone OCD, I could barely distinguish between that pedal and the Fulltone 2 MOSFET. Matter of fact, some other pedals, i.e. the Trower Overdrive, if I were blind folded, no way would I be able to pick one or the other. JMO, but I feel the amp used for these tests, is mediocre. It's just that this amp colors the sound too much to make a fair determination. An amp that has a neutral tone , with clean headroom, such as a Twin Reverb, for example, would be more suitable. Great tool though. I most enjoyed the pedal comparisons and the theory behind why this method is superior to that of different sites using different equipment.

Saves tons of time trying to compare. Wondering about how you personally feel on how your (old favorite) Nobel's ODR-S stacks up against your new Holy Fire? Is the Holy Fire your new go-to pedal. WHen would you use one versus the other? Hey Anthony,

It's hard to make a recommendation without having played that guitar through that amp however. Hi John,

Telecaster guitar, which I have upgraded the pickups in. I have a Dimarzio EJ Custom humbucker in the neck, and a Dimarzio Area Hot T in the bridge. Do you have a suggestion as to which of these pedals might sound best with this amp using a Telecaster guitar? I am leaning toward a Sparkle Drive or a Fulldrive 2.

I do wish it had some of the cheap Danelectro pedals though, the Cool Cat Distortion/transparent overdrive/metal II... been wanting to hear those compared side by side with a TS 808 or something.

Really helpful stuff. I was shocked how good the Bad Monkey sounds compared to any other pedal in it's price range (bluesbreaker II, TS7) and actually held it's own next to a ts808. Great stuff here, many kudos to you! Excellent thing here. Really helpful stuff.
