Gregor is the only person I've heard use the pedal. It sounds nice to me. The fact that he's a great player doesn't hurt either.
Hi Fretters I've seen that Gregor Hilden a talented fellow regularly use the Okko Diablo Overdrive pedal is there anyone here which do play with one of theses wonder ? I play from now on a nice Deluxe Reverb Silverface and would like to get a nice biting tone

I was curious about this Okko overdrive pedal also. I'd discovered this same site where that guy is playing through one and I love his tone. (He is an awesome player!)
A few years ago I bought a boutique overdrive pedal called the Zendrive which is supposed to give a close approximation to a Howard Dumble amp tone. I'd heard about these pedals from another site, so I though it would be the best choice for that sound. As it turns out, I was somewhat disappointed with mine. It doesn't have very much gain for an overdrive pedal, so you need to have your amp on the edge of breakup for them to sound good. But if your amp is set just right, they sound fantastic (kind of a Robben Ford tone).
I'm wondering if this Okko overdrive is a better version of the Zendrive?

bit of a old thread but i played one last night into my marshall 1974. This is a great pedal , no it's a ***** great pedal. If you listen to Greg playing and think how do I get that sound well you can. The best sound can be from hitting the voltage button (from 9v to 18v).
The only problem is that i now have to save up to buy one.
