Yeah, definately go for it, just make sure it's exactly what you want, because it's a pricey pedal. Try one out beforehand, just to make sure.

But yeah, I'll recommend anything the Z Vex people make to be honest.

I just thought the OD-9 had more of what i wanted, It gave more gain and make a bigger difference when it was turned on.

I tried both pedals side by side, and i liked the OD-9 more. I think you should do the same and try them both out. Im not sure how the pedals would have reacted with my actual gear though because i tried it with a different amp. Who knows maybe the od808 would have been better with my amp, but i liked the OD-9 more with the amp i tried it out on. Hope that helps.

The Viper's nice, very easy to play (now at least, the factory setup was a bit off but I've sorted it now), sounds great unplugged. Has a pretty bad neck dive but I swapped the grippy strap over from my Ibanez so it's better balanced now. Fret access is amazing, you can widdle away right atthe top without breaking your wrist :haha

Sound-wise it's pretty good, I don't really like the bridge pickup that much though, it seems to have an upper mid/treble spike in it, doesn't really suit the guitar that much. Still sounds nice but needs a bit of careful EQing to shine.

I'm chuffed I got it for the price I did, 'cause I would never pay £600 for one which is the usual going price.

Sounds brilliant, I'm jealous I'd love a HSS strat someday.
