Favorite settings for ODB-3

Hey guys, Im just wondering if any of you other Boss ODB-3 owners have any reccomended custom settings that arnt in the booklet- so far im very have with the driven slap setting myself. Also, anyone have a suggestion on a method for reducing the hiss on the fuzz setting?

Tapping the pedal when that red light is on usually makes it sound better[/inevitable odb3 putdown].

The only two settings that I use are the boost setting and one like this -

level - 2
bass - 2
treble - 1
blend - 3
gain - 7

(all these are o'clocks)

Yes, my favorite is OFF.

is the odb really as bad as people say it is? how does the dod, digitech, or ibanez overdrives compare to it?
well, like I said the main problem with it is that it's not an overdrive, yet it's described as one. It's a distortion pedal. At that, it's fine for the money ($70) apart from usual boss caveats - e.g. non true bypass tone sucking etc.
