OCD with more 'cut'?

[Mr Kite]

Hey,

I've recently got hold of an OCD, which I love - you can get nicely saturated tones but without it turning to mush and, if you run it at 18v, you can get a nice dynamic drive.

The only problem is I'm finding it doesn't 'cut through' that well...

I'm using a tele into a PRRI and I know it's quite a scooped sounding pedal, which combined with my amp isn't helping. I can get it to 'pierce' but by then it's too shrill, and, obviously I can turn the volume up, but my band is quite quiet (we're an indie/americana/wilco-esque outfit with acoustic guitar as the main instrument) and it gets too loud...

So I was wondering about something similar with a bit more 'cut'.

I've got a Barber LTD Silver which I use for light 'on the edge' breakup, and was thinking about another LTD or Direct Drive though, to be honest, I only really think I've got a Fulltone/MXR sized space on my board, so it'll need to be that really...

I know I need more mids, but I'm not looking for a 'bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeesssssss' tone so tubescreamers are not really my thing...

Thoughts anyone?

mxr eq pedal. The small one, or get the Fromel shape eq if you've got the cash.

I can't help you : for me, OCD has too much cut ( Strat with alnico 2, FDDR) ;-)

Mids are fixed on the PR. Try lower treble and bass settings for stronger mids. Bump the volume a little to compensate.
