yeah, if you can find an original D&S they are much cheaper than the Ibanez OD850/

but exactly the same pedal!

 

I did a comparison of them here:

The Maxon is actually a little bit louder and not as muddy in the low end.

It really sounds like a mix between a Rams Head/Triangle/Sovtek Muff.

pretty cool sounding.:thu:

 

but the reissues kind of suck.

I just got a D&S II and I like it. I have been playing classic rock for years and have tried all kinds of distortion pedals, most I have not liked, but this one I do. It has the hard driving rock distortion that is more open, transparent than others. I don't care for the fully saturated, metal distortion pedals that suck out your tone and don't cut through the mix. This pedal has a nice tone and can stand up to the mix. The sustain is an added +++
