Pedal "overdrive".

In reality this is simply a boost with a linear silicon diode clipping. You take an MXR micro amp and you add a clipping diode ultra basic dry and you have the distortion dod 250/mxr +.

So it really boosts, it saturates very ugly but it's good, no one asks no more.

A volume gain but a first power supply jack, so -2

UTILIZATION

Very simple, nothing to seek, can not be simpler: 10

SOUND QUALITY

- You are a guy who uses the clear sound of the amp: Go your way, THIS IS NOT AN OVERDRIVE IS A BOOSTER. You reap a sound loud, to wish the crappy hi-fi genre that saturates. It's not a tube screamer type pedal. This is clearly a boost pedal is with a volume gain very consistent with a saturation that will allow you to add a layer. So a clean, you're wasting your time and you spend this wonderful pedal for what it is.

- You have a dark tube amp, although dirty, which saturates to burn: You'll love!
By the volume turned up and by measuring the gain, the amplifier saturates, giving up a sound that will delight your dirty rather its lead over the 12th box.

So with regard to the booster, the sound is dry and precise, the sound will be boosted to control, for this reason that cleanbooster only give her a dirty bouheux and where treblebooster (or hightpass too) provides a sound controlled and precise.

This pedal is clearly in the field of bouheux but not much.
Added to boost the saturation does not have a precise rhythm, it is better to turn to boost the treble or Tubescreamer tight kind boss sd-1 (a extraordianaire pedal for heavy metal in booster! There have to see Zakk Wilde). Not taking the low, it does wonders in lead type neck pickup running well but sorely lacking in rhythmic precision.

If you have a simple microphone, an amplifier plexi/ac30 such a good game lead, this pedal is absolutely great. Do not listen to those who use pedals on a clean boost, they do not know how to use it.

I put 8 because it has a monstrous breath (worse boost by adding one of the amp). The dod250 gray or yellow is in the same style, a real engine!

OVERALL OPINION

I for 2 years.

Mine was completely changed:

- Changing the power supply plug by taking PSA / Boss 'classic'
- Led activation
- Change all the components for the ultra modern and clean utlra (NE5532 and metalfilm everywhere)
- Change the schema of dod250 gray now, but change not break the brick, the foot rest 95% the same! There is no inferiority complex having the YJM. It is in style, in the same wave as the gray and the change is absolutely insignificant.
Here, I have a plexi 1968-1969 'with a stratocaster and moultitude boost which dod 250/yjm and I'm thrilled. If you have a booster amp is a pedal that costs almost nothing and makes a great service!
