  I agree. I've owned and still own several OD pedals. It really depends on
the application. One thing that can be gained with a recomendation though is
maybe someone isn't familiar with certain OD's. Some people never heard of
Fulltone and maybe they would like their stuff. I can tell people what works
for me as anyone can, but that really means nothing in the long run. You
still need to check it out. This is a difficult issue ofcourse because there
are a ton of OD pedals out there.
