NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

It's a virtual cab, so I'd think last is where you'd want it. It could work in other positions, but I don't think it was intended to.

As the saying goes: whatever works, works. Still, I always use the OCS last, and that would be especially true if I was DI-only because FOH will likely have better fidelity than even my tweetered Bergs.

Distortion/overdrive adds harmonic content and brightness. It's why it's common for OD users to say "gives life to my dead strings". Sure, a cab sim's LPF trims highs at any point in the chain, but OD run after cab sim could well restore high-end content, and possibly the dreaded buzzy bees effect. Or maybe not, depending on how the LPF is set, but cab sim last makes the most sense to me.

my first thought was "whaaat? an OD after the OCSD?? that´s crazy!!" but, second thought, there are no rules when it comes to sound..who knows it could become the next "mistery secret sauce"??

Ugh. My pedal made it through to the US, but arrived on the opposite coast. A few more days until it makes it to my grubby little hands.
Damn it eh lol Are you tracking through usps? I'm in Canada and Daniel said maybe through US then up to Canada but I've been checking USPS and Canada Post tracking and neither acknowledges my tracking number but was able to track through Chile post till it left the Aeropuerta.. cheers!

Checking through USPS. I think there was a small gap in updates when it transitioned from one shipper/country to the next. That also happened around the holiday weekend.

No worries, here. I can't play for a few days anyway. Probably best I don't have it.
