I ordered a stock OTS20 thru the US Dist. along with a klein-ulator. ( thanks go to Wilcox for the suggestion)

They arrived at my door in about 3 weeks , give or take.
Packaged very well and no problems. Got a bill from DHL for $20.00 for customs - that was expected.

First impressions are --wow, this thing has some tones. The bottom end is big and punchy, mids for days and plenty of high end. It is very touchy and the slightest lil change to any control offers a change to the character. Fairly loud for 20w.

I ran it through an old EV12L to start with...I thought " Oh no, is this thing BRITE!!!"
Then I tried a 12" Black Shadow that is my my old Boogie and some of the highs were tamed which improved the sound for me.
I think I'm going to try a Cannibis Rex or something similar or perhaps even G12-30 or 65. Any suggestions???



Took a week or two to dial in a somewhat suitable over drive so far...cleans are no problem. The Klein-ulator adds something nice to the mix too.
Strat w/ CS69's - bitey & very brite but workable with tone controls, etc.
Les Paul Deluxe (mini-humbuckers) really cuts through with lots of snap.
ES-335 is warm, fat and a sweet spot was easy to find for cleans.
It also plays nice with my Ibanez GB-10

Thanks to Jun for offering up a his mods to smooth things out a bit, which I will try after a period of breaking in.
I'd also like to attempt to incorporate some the mods Jack Z did to his ODS..if possible(Huh?)


Overall, I'd say this an impressive lil box.  I"m still on the fence about it as its a "bold" lil sucker. I've gotten used to my old Fender Deluxe Rev. and Vibrolux that aren't quite sooo in your face...time will tell, I suppose.
