Which OAM pedal do I choose?

The OAM Panorama, or PANO boost, is probably the most practical pedal that I make. It covers all of my bases for general clean boosting, sweetening, and overdriving an amp into breakup. These work well as an always-on pedal, a solo boost, clean/crunch switch, or for pushing other drive pedals. Depending on where the tone knob is set, the pedal can be very neutral or add a lot of pleasing harmonics and overtones. Different versions have different options for controlling the bass, so this may help decide which pedal is going to be best for you. The original OAM Panorama has a 3-way switch so that you can set either a bass cut, flat bass, or bass boost. The 3-knob Pano, which is wired point to point on terminal strips has a bass potentiometer which allows you to have more fine control over the sweep.

The VB series of pedal can cover a wide gain range for what I would call more of a dirty boost, overdrive, or fuzz. The VB-2 is able to seamlessly transition from overdrive to fuzz depending on the arrangement of the 4 controls. These pedals work great with all kinds of instruments including guitar, bass guitar, synthesizers, drum machines, and others. Personally I reach for one of these pedals when I want a lot of character in the sound. When I want a little extra punch or oomph to what I already have, or maybe I want to mangle it beyond recognition. I love using them before and after distortion for doomy riffs (before) or textured solos (after). It’s also great beefing up contact microphones or other weak, glitchy signals. Turn the bias controls all the way up and you have a built in noise gate which is also helpful in these situations.
