MGR/The Crazy Guitar Player « DOD FX69B Grunge Distortion »
Published on 02/01/02 at 15:00I bought this pedal from Boogie Music after my friend let me try out his Grunge pedal.I paid about $80 for it. I decided I should buy it because I was so tired of puny little amp distortion!
It's so much better than amp distortion! I like that on this pedal you have more knobs and controls to change what kind of a sound you want. It can change which end of your guitar is louder through the low and high knobs on it. The grunge knob lets you change how much distortion your getting. Not only that, but it also has a volume knob so you can make it so when you click the foot pedal it's a whole lot louder or softer. It's also a good pedal because it has a 3 year warranty on it, which guarantees that it is very durable. The other cool thing about it is it comes with a booklet that suggests certain settings for volume, high, low, and grunge for different sounds you can get. It's awesome for hardcore and punk rock!
The only thing I don't like about it is that every time you finish playing guitar you have to remember to unplug the chord to the input jack or else it drains the battery out of your pedal. I think it would be better if it had a switch to turn it on and off. I've had to replace the 9-volt battery about 3 times in the last week because I keep forgetting to unplug it, which is really annoying to have to keep plugging and unplugging it.
It is a well-built pedal. It is encased in steel (which has a really cool electricity type design on it!) and has a rubber pad on the bottom to keep it safe and to make sure it doesn't slide across the floor when you click it with your foot. It is very good quality and (just in case there is something wrong with it) it has a 3-year warranty.
To summarize, it is a great pedal for punk and has a great grunge sound to it. It's a fantastic pedal if your willing to pay the $80, but it is worth it!
