Digitech DOD-GUNSLINGER MOSFET Distortion Pedal
From explosive chord work to high velocity leads, the new DOD Gunslinger Mosfet Distortion has the touch sensitivity, string-separation and saturation to do all your dirty work. The Gunslinger packs features like separate Low and High tone controls, ...
On the solid state amp, the tone was a little difficult to dial in.
I have found using it on a tube amp is good and even using it on a good solid state amp can make it sound awesome
I read that DOD really aimed to make a pedal that works great with a clean or already dirty amp, and I can see that from my use of it
But the tone controls of the DOD Gunslinger are extremely powerful, and after playing with that and accounting for the fact that this is a very high output pedal, I started to pull some great amp-like distortion sounds out of it.
Either way, you have a winner, and if it doesn't have enough gain you can either boost it with your OD, or run a touch of compression before it, and problem solved
I mostly keep the gain down all the way and the volume about 75%, bass over half way and treble under half
It is not the best way to use, and results can be quite different with other amplifiers

A lot of distortion/overdrive pedals out there for guitarist to choose from...a lot of them expensive...some of them cheap...the Digitech DOD-GUNSLINGER MOSFET Distortion Pedal is a very affordable, well built & sturdy, and excellent sounding choice
It doesn't seem like it'd be the best choice for more modern distortion, you might want a Wampler Triple Wreck for that, but for that classic metal sound this thing is awesome

It can turn your tone and volume knob actually useful on a good solid state
Run the 2 left controls at about 2 o'clock and the right knobs at about 11 o'clock
I also like that it has a low and high knob for adjusting the tone and bass response, better than having only a gain and level knob like the dod 250 that i used to have and the fender malmsteen overdrive pedal that i currently have

I was hoping this would take my tone to that, over the top level

Really nice distortion and very amp like in it's compression and feel.
This is a great distortion if you like that crispy and firm solid state sound
Nice distortion pedal with great midrange clarity and a very classy volume control

If you want gutsy 80's hard rock distortion... this pedal is for you
