Title: OTS Vs. Fuchs Overdrive 30
Post by: Dumbleseeker on August 12, 2008, 10:59:01 PM
I just wondered if anyone has played a OTS next to a Fuchs OD30? What was different ? Please give us details.

yes, i´m curious too.

Its better if we do a comparisson between the OTS the Fuchs Overdrive Special and the Two Rock Overdrive Reverb

I have both (and have also owned the TR Custom Reverb).

The Fuchs 30 is cathode biased so is a bit looser sounding, and has less headroom. The "sweet spot" for tone and gain is much more narrow than the OTS. IOW, it's much easier to dial in a variety of great tones with different guitars on the OTS.

OTOH, the Fuchs has built in reverb and buffered effects loop. It also has the option of using a quad of 6V6s or a pair of 6L6's.

I like both of these better than the TR, which seemed tight and harder sounding. in comparision. Harder to dial in.
