MGR/Smurf « DoD FX69B Grunge Distortion »
Published on 03/10/02 at 15:00Bought this crappy pedal at guitar center, on sale at 30 bucks, so I guess I can't gripe too much.
It is nice to play through when I need a heavier distortion (for cheaper than a MT-2), especially since the only other distortion I have is a DS-1 (no complaints about that one though!), and it's not as bottom heavy as I need it to be.
I hate this pedal with a passion, because I don't want to go out and get a wall wart for it, cause it would probably cost me more than I paid for the pedal. AND this thing EATS BATTERIES in VERY short periods of time. I'm talkin' 30 minutes, and a brand new battery is DRAINED. And that's even when I have the unit switched off. Let me tell you, that get's pretty aggrivating!
The construction is halfway decent, but I don't like the DoD switching mechanism, compared to the BOSS pedals I own. It is a pretty heavy unit, that I think could stand up to some abuse, if the batteries would ever last long enough for it to experience any.
This pedal sucks unless you want to pitch in the extra bucks and get a wall wart, or a powered pedal board. Other than that, for rythm playing, pretty heavy, pretty good bottom heavy tone.
