I bought this pedal new from Ebay for $45. It is listed as $85-90 in most places, and I was looking for an inexpensive way to get really heavy tonalities.

It is REALLY heavy. So far, it is the closest thing to perfect that I have played. It is eternally crunchy, and keeps good clarity even in low tunings (at one point, I was playing in GDG--4 steps lower than drop D).

It has broken twice. I am not a very aggressive player, and attribute the defects to poor construction. Also, the high EQ is a bit annoying. This isn't a great distortion for soloists. Finally, due to the extremity of its distortion, it doesn't work well in connection to effects processors.

Again, I thought that it could have been better. I took good care of the pedal, and paid to have it repaired the first time. DOD itself, however, is a good manufacturer, and I wouldn't condemn the entire company for this one pedal.

A good pedal for metal enthusiasts everywhere, from death to nu. JUST BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH IT!
