So everyone has had thier UnLiMiTeD for a while...

So.... do tell... How are you diggin' it? I have one coming... but I must quench my curiosity some how until I have it in my paws! lol

I run a 1/2 Gainer and a OCD... looking forward to replacing the OCD with the UnLiMiTeD.

Just anything.... where does it take you?

The unLimiTeD and the OCD definitely compete on the same turf; but replacing your OCD (as you suggested) with the unLimiTeD will keep you on a more consistent EQ curve from lower drive (1/2 Gainer) to higher drive (unLimiTeD) pedals.

As for what I think about the unLimiTeD--I stand by my earlier assertion that the unLimiTeD is like pulling out the tone knob (if it were possible, a la Direct Drive) on an LTD SR for even more sonic onslaught. Also, the unLimiTeD can do at roughly 1:30-ish on the "gain" knob what my LTD SR can acheive maxed out at 5:00.

Nice description! I had an OCD v3. The unLimiTeD is more raw, less compressed, and has that "Barber" frequency response we know and love.

Right... I can see that, like something I would like to dig my humbuckers into...
Like the Small Fry where you can squeeze the notes out, ala (Robben Ford/Dumble)

The OCD might still be better for getting the overall Robin Trower thingy with a Strat?
