Does Your Overdrive Pedal Really Matter? Options

[Todd Simpson]

It's an age old idea. Does your choice of Overdrive Pedal really matter for your tone? Well, it depends. If one is using purely as a clean boost, the pedal plays a bit less of a role imho. If one is using some gain on the pedal, there are some audible differences. Here is a vid comparing the usual suspects. I've tried wads of em. I end up going back to the tube screamer. I finally bought a mini screamer then I tested it against the emulation of the screamer in my ampero and could tell zero difference so now I just use the ampero. Anyone else?
