Preamp, overdrive pedal format.
analog, 2 knobs: one level, a gain.
No LED (damage)
no true bypass (damage)
difficult access to the battery, unscrew the bottom plate. (Damage)
Alim mini jack. (Damage)
For case against very robust, compact and pleasant.
I put 9 for small "injury", but that does not bother me I have one spot with a mini jack tip ... There may be led ...
UTILIZATION
Very simple, there's two buttons ...
SOUND QUALITY
I was really surprised by this little pedal. I expected a good effect, but not something totally top.
I did a little comparison with a boss sd1 japan black label that I own and I put just after the dod.
The sound is very very close to the sd1 but what is even harder is that I find even better! We are in a register that goes from clean to hard rock sound (the greatest example is AC / DC everyone sees what it is.)
The grain is changing depending on the volume and also allows great flexibility in relation to the volume of the amp. (Useful for 100w all-tube, one can raise and lower the amp without a pedal it's mouth while keeping the potatoes)
The sound is "square" very muscular, rich bass has a tendency, when you put a lot of gain, to overflow a little and I must say that this is what convinced me right away. With a wah wah is happiness, back to the 70's with Hendrix. The boost in distortion is terribel it gives a clear shot of a great amp! In short its a very, very, good and thicker than his colleague from home boss.
I also compared this model to the MXR micro amp in my guitar and he has kindly lent me. I find the mxr more "neutral" (in sound and more transparent for the bypass), it is not really made for the overdrive and I found the use of the pedal for this purpose so-so. the boost in distortion is effective but does nothing more than a little momentum. DoD brings a little "heat" I find it more "vintage" can be.
OVERALL OPINION
In the end a very good choice!
Both for itself as the overdrive to boost your solos. A pedal that deserves to be recognized under the TS9 and other rat and sd1. In a ruthlessly efficient and robust one worthy of our oldest pedals, a very good choice. for a ridiculous price! (35 euros used)
