I'd probably get the Fulldrive 2 before the GT-500, but that's just me.

Fulldrive 2 is a great pedal

I just remembered that I've got a Toadworks Mr Ed I'm selling... It's best function is as a boost to an already Distorted, cranked amp. For boosting leads it's really perfect because it adds enough "brown" to your sound that it'll make your dry rhythm sound into a nice smooth fat lead sound. Pretty cool actually, but not really what I'm after these days... PM me if you're interested.

Just out of interest, how does the OCD fare as a boost pedal? I'm looking for something to match up to my Laney GH50L since it gets very hissy with the last gain stage on.

I had the OCD and used it with my JSX as it gets really Hishy as well. Worked great in that respect.
