As gnarly and extreme as this is the added distortion knob makes this clone much more versatile than the original. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhy wasn't a distortion pot available on the original? My guess is it was a footprint issue, due to the 3 or 4 knob footprint that all the DOD enclosures had back then there was no room for distortion adjustment and being able to tweak the mids was more important.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis pedal doubles as a signal buffer. A Klon style buffered bypass was added to squash the oscillation feedback that happens with true bypass high gain pedals and also adds signal integrity to a signal chain. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe footswitch on the DOD pedals are notoriously unreliable, both for not always switching properly when engaged and also for failing. This version uses a modern footswitch that always switches when engaged and a low failure rate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis used unit is in great condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dirt Monger Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56821577547942,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/5778\/1414\/files\/DSC08394.jpg?v=1784236427","url":"https:\/\/cicadasound.ca\/products\/plague-dogs-used","provider":"Cicada Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
