"Solid, dependable."
Feature:You don't need an LED. Your supposed to dime both controls! You'll definitely know if it's on, your neighbors across the street will be able to hear the difference!
Quality:
True bypass! Bulletproof construction. Roadie proof. Not have an led almost double the battery's life! Works great before and after chorus, wah and EQ pedals. Enjoy.
Value:
Can't beat the price! A lot of newbees just don't know what it's exactly for.
Sound:
Just like the old days. It's designed to push your preamp tubes into distorting earlier, which in turn overdrives the amps power tubes. Don't buy this pedal if you don't use a tube amp. This pedal only magnifies your particular amp's personal sound. (i.e. Marshall is still going to sound like a Marshall only louder). This pedal was designed to work with all non master volume amps. This is why you continually see this pedal in so many professional rigs. If you use the pedal on a digital, tube hybred or tranny amp, then you'll have a mismatch. And your amp's tone can quickly change for the worst. Because it is not a distortion pedal in the truest scents of the word, only a preamp with clipping diodes on the output.
Ease of Use:
If you like the old Nugent, Aerosmith, Montrose, ZZ Top, Who, Frank Marino, Pat Travers, Triumph, early Dokken, Ratt, Quiet Riot and use old style non master volume amps (Marshall, Hiwatt, Laney, Fender) then you'll love this pedal.
Support:
DOD has always taken really good care of me.

"Not Happy"
Feature:avg features...2knobs
Quality:
solid, but battery killer + no led
Value:
it was very disapointed with this buy....i rarely use the pedal
Desirability:
i dont like it...
Sound:
sounds a lil too sharp for my taste & distortion isnt strong enough.
Ease of Use:
very easy to use...but not very functional
Overall:
overall I gave it a 4 bc its hard to say how to use...its like a tube screamer...really selective...not at all a dsitortion or some kind of enhancer

"Awesome pedal!"
Feature:The only thing it is missing is and led to let the user know when it is and isnt on. But if you are playing you'll definitely be able to tell.
Quality:
Complete steel housing and knobs and foot switch. It can stand up to anything.
Value:
For 50 bucks. Heck yes.
Desirability:
The way it looks and sounds says it all!
Sound:
This pedal sounds great. It can do so much more than just throw that insane amount of top end gain the master uses on your sound. Though it may seem like it is made solely for that, this baby can also produce some of the dirtiest yet clearest blues tones I've ever heard. The only complaint is that the pedal does make some noise. But listen to Yngwie's recordings and you'll see why! GREAT!
Support:
Don't know. I have 3 DOD pedals and have never had any problems. I guess that is a good thing.
Overall:
A great pedal for the money. Absolutely a must have for any YNGWIE FANS!
