I am feeling them.

NIce! I had the hyper phase and really liked it; I bet those are equally awesome.

This reminds me, I have a partially working dod deathmetal I need to fix/rehoused still

Yeah I'm having a lot of fun with them. I wasn't sure what to expect from the multi chorus but so far it sounds really rich. I'm looking forward to trying them in stereo.

If you end up reworking your death metal, you should give it a gain knob. As great as it is having a pedal that is permanently fixed to Maximum, based on using the guitar volume knob I bet it would open the pedal up a bit.

First Om record.

I'm also interested in that (waiting for a cheap enough 250 to pop up locally basically). I didn't know that band, listening to that album now, what parts are you talking about then ?

Edit : I'm probably stupid, it sound like there's just a bass in there so I might have my answer

Editit : so this dirt sound is what a DOD250 sounds like on bass ? I like that...
Edititit : I actually really like that album, thanks for mentioning it

You need a 'classically voiced' tube amp and some Rotos, but yeah, like 95% of that tone is a dimed 250.

You will probably like Conference of the Birds and Pilgrimage by the same band. There's more instrumentation on the later albums, but the first three (and the splits from the same era) are some of my favorite recorded music of all time. Glad you dig!

Ok, thanks for the info :thumb:

So, how would something the 250 sound with either something like a Tech21/Sansamp VT Bass DI or no amp at all (on synths basically) ? Some pedals rely a lot on the amp and are not really good for me and my setups. I had a BAT Black Forest that didn't work at all for me for example whereas my Mini does wonderful things to anything it touches...

All you people here need to listen to more Om.
Seriously, just take a week off, spin nothing but Om records, change your lives.

Just returned from a ski trip to Jackson Hole Wyoming where I ran into this tool of a guitar player :cool:

And came home to these two in the mail that I picked up off the ILF sale

Nice photo!

I have a few friends out in Jackson. Not a bad way to vacation, and it certainly fits with your BIG MONEY LIFESTYLE ™ :lol:

Yeah, I would expect the 250 (and, really, any 'vintage' distortion circuit like that) to not sound so good with DI and synths. At least, I was woefully underwhelmed trying both. You really need an amplifier and some speakers to make 'em sound like, you know, a thousand suns melting at the altar of electricity. If I was to bail on my OR120 and not replace it with another tube amp of a similar vintage/voicing I wouldn't look for another 250.

But yeah I remember back in the day when I found out that Al's distortion tone was 'just' a DS-1 and a 250. It was pretty special and very humbling at the same time.

Now, I'm having GAS for a nice airport baggage claim area.

Man it was the nicest airport ever. The waiting area had a huge indoor fireplace surrounded by giant leather chairs and foot rests. So small and easy to get through. Very relaxing after 3 days of skiing, 100's of beers and 3 bottles of tequila. :lol:
