To say I have a lot of overdrives and distortions from various companies is a massive understatement...but every time I plug in my DOD Gunslinger, my wife (who never comments on my tone) says, "Wow, that sounds good!" or "Oh, I like that sound!" or "Sounds good today!" It's a bit frustrating actually. So glad DOD came back and stayed true to the originals.
Purchased one in 2018, new off Amazon priced at $32. I figured it was going out of production and it was just a warehouse stock dump. Had to put it on my board today just to try on my current amp. Its very raw and percussive with a tight low end. Easy to find the "sweet spots" on any amp I have used. Also good with an OD in front of it, just be sure to have a noise gate. Oddly it is better than a TS to tighten up the low end on a high gain pedal or amp. IMO Good pedal but sounds best when it's moving some air. With the tight low end it can sound a little thin at low volumes. The range of the EQ is very strong.
This pedal has been on my pedalboard for 6 or 7 years along with the RAT 2, they are my favorite distortions. I love DOD pedals and the 250 preamp and the Carcosa Fuzz also spend long periods on my pedalboard. Fantastic pedals!
I clicked the product link before you mentioned the price and was pleasantly surprised. I've been thinking about adding another distortion to my board. It's fun to see DOD pedals again. I have three from the 90s: MetalX (which does get fizzy), Flanger, and Delay.
Was that recorded DI or through a mic’d amp? I didn’t hear him say anything about the signal path. I would be curious to hear how that would sound going through the UA Stomp.
I have used one for a few years. It is one of the more under exposed distortion pedals. The tone controls are very interactive. If you leave them at noon, you get a lot of meds. The harder you push it the more scooped, it sounds. It’s one of a few distortion pedals that you can drive the travel all the way up and it still sounds pretty good
I bought this pedal a few years ago to use with my Sunn Model T and it sounded amazing! However it died on me after a couple of weeks and the replace the DOD send me also died. Not sure if this was a production issue or not, but I haven't wanted to buy one again after that.
Those aren't P90s, they're jazzmaster pickups. P90s are deeper into the body and thinner. Jazzmaster pickups don't extend as far into the body and are wider. Technically that particular guitar is wound a bit differently for hum cancelling which has two underwound JM pickups on top of one another to cancel their hum which sound different from a normal JM pickup too. But yes, I would have liked to see some traditional pickups. I liked the JM sounds though.
My lack of real skill has always enabled frighteningly overactive creativity: If I ever figured out how to build a pedal for Fluff, specifically a clone of this one, I'd call it the Fluffernutter Butter-slinger. I know the game-I've seen a few blue-blocker commercials in my day. To create hype, I'd promise a Friedman butterslax "Amp" and/or a butterfinger candybar. (The fine print would be very small) Of course, when you opened the box, strings of marshmallow fluff would stifle your progression of reaching the grand prize: a meticulously butter-covered MOSFET pedal (or an Amazon return DS-1 clone or something, since I still probably wouldn't have learned how to build a pedal) packed in cracker jacks with no prize. There would be zero vegan options, but thousands of lawsuits. In my fevered daydreams of creating Klon-like mystery/hysteria I would do what I do best: repeatedly lie to myself: "Bad publicity is good publicity. I am a rebel. I'll continue to goop my inferior PC boards with generic/off brand marshmallow "Phluph" and wait for society to fall back on their missteps..." "Sure, now I'm washin' lettuce, but soon I,'ll be on fries. That's when the big bucks come in..." - L. Anderson, 1987.
souds good here just as almost everything else that is promoted here, but in reality there are much better distortion pedals out there, this one sounds fizzy and noisy, reviews are also just saying the same. 😧

my favourite toy right here

I got a batshit CRAZY deal on a Bi-Guns bundle (Gunslinger + Bifet Boost 410 for like $80) a few years ago direct from Digitech. Great pedals!

Ooh, I like this thing. It has the sound I've been looking for.
This has been the only show I've watched for years for a pedal review. The only show that gets me shopping....for myself.
Was that recorded DI or through a mic’d amp? I didn’t hear him say anything about the signal path. I would be curious to hear how that would sound going through the UA Stomp.
Absolutely adore this pedal since I got it around 2019 and glad to see it get some recognition
I bought this pedal a bunch of years ago when it was on sale for $80. Good sounding pedal.
To me it has that early Kim Thayil in box sound. Very cool.

Major Rockerverb vibes. Dig it.
Love that Jazzmaster. ❤❤
Angry Butter. Just checked and no bands named that....until now.
Very cool. When y’all gonna be touring in the Southeast? I’m there!
Here before the name of the video changed
Flannel Version?
REAL MFs got that "Project - FINAL(final) final2 finalFINAL" naming system
@@vxidastronaut 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I resemble that remark.
1:22 Those are some funky looking cable ends, who makes them?
I was wondering the same thing. I’m a tech nerd so I love stuff like that.
That is a cute little device for slinging guns. Great tones.
The gunslinger is one of my favorite distortions of all time
Aaaaaaand back ordered on Sweetwater
It sounds good. I have to try out this pedal next time. I think this could be a useful tool on my pedal board.

For $100, that sounds really great. With the gain cranked sounded kinda Tool like to me
Love it! Throw a blend knob on there and it would be amazing on bass!
While I prefer the DOD Pre Amp 250, this is a very fun pedal. Instant Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould tones. Rawk!
Great pedal.
Riffs, beards 'n butter. Salty butter. Hostile butter. Primal concrete butter. 👍🐄🧈🍿🥞🥯🧇🥖🍞 Carbo load...
I like it. Sounds great.
oh this might have to go on a board now.
Absolutely fantastic ❤😊
I used to use one of these to boost my amp, and the amp ran so hot stock that it blew preamp tube 2 out at practice after a few sessions
Dang fluff, would loved to have heard this through a humbucker and/or a single coil. Loved the p90’s tones tho.
Those aren't P90s, they're jazzmaster pickups. P90s are deeper into the body and thinner. Jazzmaster pickups don't extend as far into the body and are wider.

But yes, I would have liked to see some traditional pickups. I liked the JM sounds though.
I have both and can confirm through the gunslinger they sound GRR - REAT. This pedal is available used pretty cheap sometimes, just go for it 🙂
@@SlimeyGuitarStrings thank you. I learned something new. I didnt realize jazzmaster pickups were different.
It be cool if it came with stickers. Gunslinger sticker sounds nice...
Sounds like a muscled up 250 to my ears... which is not a bad thing !

I didn’t know this was an “amp in a box” pedal, does anyone know which amp it’s based on please?
He said "cranked British tube amp" so I assume medium to high gain Marshall
hm the sweetwater reviews are not great at all on this one 👆🤷
Great sound, I always wondered about this pedal. Is anyone aware of any boutique clones of this?
Rate or Roast is over due 😂😂
souds good here just as almost everything else that is promoted here, but in reality there are much better distortion pedals out there, this one sounds fizzy and noisy, reviews are also just saying the same. 😧
sounds no good send it back just a waste pf money imo 🙈
