Yes. I seriously regret that one. My understanding of pedals and stacking wasn't as sharp as it is now. Let me know if you decide to move it on. I'd love to have it back.
.
Wow, nice score! Can we have we have a run down of the knobs and switches please?
I'll have some time with it today and let you know.
What - no fuzz pedal?
Looks great! I was just jamming along on my ODB and VT as well. And a muff and HM-2 or two...
What - no fuzz pedal?
haha. Good observation! I do not have a fuzz at the moment and that is a problem.
the reality is for anything I do in real life, the VT gets plenty, fuzzy enough. But I still want one. I've had all kinds of different ones. Sold the wizard fuzz, and the calamity and regret getting rid of those. I have a problem. Haha
That's awesome!
I finally sat down with it. The two fuzzes combine to be a huge wall of fuzz. Those 4 knobs (Fuzz, Tone, Fuzz and Tone) could make for an awesome pedal just by themselves. Each Fuzz control has a different diode. I'm not sure which ones are in it yet. The Tone controls act like tilt EQs. I found a great fuzz tone by running one Tone control CCW for a massive bass punch fuzz and the other Tone control CW for a high end chainsaw fuzz. Just an insanely big sound!
The Depth, Wave and Rate portion of the pedal is like an oscillator. It reminds me of a PLL. It can get out of control but I found some nice background drone noises that sit nicely behind the massive fuzz portion of the pedal.
All in all, what a fantastic pedal!
I'm still messing with the ODB, but your settings look almost identical to mine! It's an excellent overdrive, definitely the best OCD-based pedal I've tried.
I've only had about 20 min so far but those are the setting I landed on straight off. Sounds good I dig it so far!
I've had a few and would agree. It's amazing for transparent low/medium gain. It hasn't left my board for long since getting it. The settings I gravitate towards are very similar to yours because of all the low end but there is so much variation on tap with the switches. Any variation of Left (up/down) and right (middle/up) sounds great if you just lower the gain, add back bass, and your back sonic heaven.
Now I'm just patiently waiting for Magic to make more Volt Throwers so I can test it against my clone.
You and me both. I really want to try a Volt Thrower vs. my other favorite Rats (Broughton Locust Star and Earthbound Iron Pig).
Does anyone know if the ODB is based on a particular version of the F*lltone OCD?
I know there are others in here that have recently bought the ODB , Witchfinder, 3 Knob Cthulu from Magic. I think some have ordered the DA120 to.
Has anyone seen or heard anything from Magic? Ive sent a message to see if there was an update on the DA120. Last thing mentioned back in January was that there was an enclosure issue, and he was waiting on the new enclosures to arrive.
I haven't seen any updates or new posts on IG or FB for over a month. Im not really so much worried about a pedal, Im just wondering if the guy is OK. Just seems kinda weird. Anybody heard anything?

I've seen the odd Instagram stories (the short-reel-type things, not full posts) about non-pedal-related matters so hopefully he's all good.
I ordered a few pedals on recent drops but asked for them to be held as a batch. I gather it's the DA-120s that are holding things up. Given how good it looks, I'm happy to wait and excited for the day they all arrive.

I had a beer with Magic a couple weeks ago. He's definitely doing fine. The enclosure issue was brought up and he said the manufacturer should be getting them out soon. He has all of the parts and is just waiting on the enclosures.
Had my tracking for my Witchfinder order come through yesterday, not specific to the DA120 but things are moving along.
ODB->Magick Fuzz is a tasty combination. The newer top jack Magick has a darker sound than the older version, but hitting it with a crispy overdriven signal from the ODB sounds really great. The older version seems to feed back like crazy whenever I try to feed it a hotter signal.
