I have a S type (Stratocaster copy) and a Fender frontman 25r solid state

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

Don't buy these to play on a clean channel or even worse on a Solid State amp.

It doesn't really make a solid-state amp sound like a tube amp, it's just a very honest distortion

Not to be used alone (bad bad bad solid state).

I use the orange micro dark as clean as I can get it, and set the volume and shape knobs accordingly

Physically, the pedal is a tank, I don't think they can be killed as I let my 16 year old use
