Members Dolf Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 One came up on Craigslist and it's a pedal I've never seen. There are some ok videos on youtube...but also some pretty awful ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 It's a discrete tubescreamer type - bass and treble roll off makes it quite middy. The turbo mode is pretty gainey. It's nothing special, but usually overlooked. Sometimes can be had for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like it could be a sleeper at that, which is why I was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Urinate Forever Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd say $55 is a price where you're not going to find any room for profit if you decide to flip. You'll likely lose moneY> I doubttis any better than ur standard OD or distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elessar [Sly] Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 How would it compare next to an 80's DS-2 I wonder? Which are more aggressive than the current stock DS-2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Urinate Forever Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 probably less buzz and more transparent than a ds-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Player99 Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 Offer $35. Cash is King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elessar [Sly] Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 Originally Posted by Urinate Forever probably less buzz and more transparent than a ds-2 I've noticed that a lot of the MIJ 80's DS-2 pedals sound more like fuzz pedals when cranked with single coils (In fact I am using one as a fuzz pedal currently). It sounds great when recording. I may have to get the turbo overdrive at some point to see what the difference is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have one. I like it. I use it on turbo mode for old school shoegaze type stuff and radiohead type stuff. It works well. The regular channel is your typical smooth overdrive. Not very dynamic, but I kind of like that about it. If you're looking for a good early 90s distortion sound, it works well. If you want something amplike and touch responsive, it's not what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhamnett Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 I had one and modded it before selling. Good traditional OD. Nothing too crazy. The mods opened it up a bit to make it slightly more transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 OP don't do it. i bought one used for like $20 and it wasn't even worth that. pretty garbagy, very quiet, doesn't even let you boost really. mostly sounds like garbage. i even found some obscure mod someone made for it to make it go louder and a bit better and got the parts and installed it but even then it was still pretty bad.
