    • This pedal has been around since the 80`sThe distortion isnt a repackaged reproduced boutique pedal its a straight forward clean distortion pedal with no BS.I have owned hundreds of distortion pedals and always came back to this one and said:WOW,I still like this sound after so many years of owning so much junk.
    • It has started working again but the distortion sounds horrible now.
    • But there are times when I want a hard nose distortion, but not that deep crunchy driven sound
    • It's got an excellent distortion sound and has great pickup attack.
    • classic distortion is good but it sucks volume and is really noisy, i guess you get what you pay for
    • You can certainly dial in a solid distortion sound for your guitar or other electric instruments, but I recommend you use it with a noise gate as well, in order to cut down on some of the unwanted frequencies and popping sounds.
    • One of the finest distortion pedals ever created.
    • It doesn't really make a solid-state amp sound like a tube amp, it's just a very honest distortion

    • Definitely a fine distortion for a good price
    • classic distortion is good but it sucks volume and is really noisy, i guess you get what you pay for

    • It's the same sound as the original orange DS-1; that classic solid-state distortion that's a little noisy, heavier than the SD-1 or those Tube Screamer type pedals
    • That being done, I find the EQ really cleans up the mess of a mediocre distortion pedal.
