The DOD has always been and still is my favorite overdrive pedal.. adds just the right amount of presence and grit for lead passages. Though I’ll concede that the TS808 and SD-1 play the “always on” role a bit better.
One interesting comparison would be to compare an original grey Dod versus the Fender YJM. Another one is to try different speakers G12H30 and G12T75 especially, Yngwie seems to prefer the latest one as far as I know.
First time I get to see one of your videos the same release date, yay!!! Just ordered a new DOD 250 form Digitech website, they're on sale if anyone is interested. The SD-1 sounds great on the Marshall due to the mid hump and bass cut, basically same circuit as the TS but in simple terms, the Ibanez is like just shaved and the Boss is 3 day beard, or something like that, hehe.
I got a DOD on sale too! It took a while to get to me but it did get here. So far I like it a lot. I had to lower the bass side of my pickups to keep it from getting all flabby but I'm new to pedals so that might be common.
Boss sounded best to me. Dod pretty good, close second. Tube screamer nice but maybe not as much sparkle and sustain as the Dod or Boss.. But they're all great! ty 4 vid El Capitan
TS for me and my Marshall rig but the SD-1 sounded really good here. Pass on DOD (PS: never heard it pronounced like “Todd” - isn’t is D-O-D? :) Thanks for this...
Sd1 wins for being more aggressive and suitable for heavier stuff (in boost mode into distorted amp)... But I won't mind flirting with a tube screamer since it's a classic too. Then I'd like to try a germanium type od (dod, dist+) to boost exclusively during solos like Dave Murray did in the 80's.
I think your next favorite budget drive pedal will be the Demon tube screamer I told you about it will be the best of both of a ts9 and the 808 combined. Cheers!
Hi, I'm from Argentina and I watch your videos. Could you use two camcorders to capture the setting of the pedals ?. This would make it more attractive to your channel for those who do not speak the language.
Only found out about the DoD 250 as of lately. I would't mind any of the three pedals given to me 😂 But if it were my money I'd just buy the cheapest, that would be the Boss (new) anno 2024. BTW the re-issue of the 250 does have an led 😮
In my experience you can get pretty much any classic overdrive pedal and shape it using an EQ pedal. I feel the same way about most amps. Never understood why eqs aren't the single most common pedal in the world.
Have you tried the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Turbo? It has 4 knobs not 3. One of the knobs has 4 settings.. standard TS9, then the + setting, the Hot setting, and the Turbo setting..each one making the tone bigger as you go up from standard to Turbo.. Not more scratchy crappy modern gain, just huger tone.. Better than I thought it might be..not bad for $109 new.. Can you post up a video comparing it to other pedals and see what you think? It is worth checking out..
