No-mid-hump overdrive?

kswilson89

What's everyone using for a medium gain overdrive without the TS style mid-hump? I'm looking for an overdrive to switch to when soloing but would like to avoid overdrives that give a BIG boost in the mid range as I think it changes the sound too much. I've been thinking of maybe the Xotic Soul Driven or a dumble in a box kind of pedal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Might be worth trying a Thorpyfx Gunshot as it has 2 distinct gains - one with the mid hump and the other more mid scooped. By blending the two (and a separare tone control) you might be able to get what you are looking for.

If you're using humbuckers, I'd also suggest the ThorpyFX Gunshot. Personally, I prefer the Warthog with single coils. Sure it can do RAT like distortion, but it does wonderful medium gain overdrive too. It's a cracking pedal and so versatile it's hard to define.

i got a Boss OD3 exactly for this.  

OCD is a very good pedal too and goes from flat OD to full on distortion

Full size TC Spark.  Switchable between neutral, mid-hump and fat.

I would say the OD-3 has a substantial mid hump, it's just less than a TS/SD-1.

Full drive flat mids version?

I always thought the Bluesbreaker circuit was the go-to "no mid hump" drive circuit, so that or any variant thereof.

Guvnor, cos it has a 3 band EQ and you can dial the mids out.

Having mostly used TS- and Rat- based pedals, I got one of these a few months ago and have been using it a lot for low-to-medium gain rock stuff, with MXR Super Badass for anything heavier. 

I wouldn’t say the OD-3 has flat mids, but I find it nicely balanced across the spectrum, with plenty of top end clarity and solid low end.

JHS Angry Charlie has 3 band EQ with cut/boost mid.
