[Vaiyen]

anyone knows where to get the DOD YJM overdrive pedal?
Also, how much is Davis selling the ZW-44 pedal?
thanks.

i m not sure about other places, but i do know that gain10 music is selling ZW-44 for 166. I'll check out the price at davis later today.

 

[Vaiyen]

cool dude! get back to me. I'm still in search of my dream lead tone.

 

[Mr_X]

same for me, but my obstacles r the lack of experience, yet to try them out. 2ndly, i lack the financial support to experiment. I'll give u a sms after i gave davis a visit later today.

 

[Vaiyen]

save like a muthaf**ker!

 

[Mr_X]

haha, trying.

 

[pooo]

You're gonna have to watch the use of the DOD YJM if you get one. On a clean channel alone you're never gonna get a good sound. It sounds a lot better on a channel with slight dirt. Noisy pedal with the gain turned up all the way too. And note it has less bass than the DOD250.

You might be better off with a modded SD-1 Vaiyen...

Why don't you contact Randolf? I'm sure he'll be pleased to talk to you!

 

[Vaiyen]

okay dude

Sounds like it cuts up your bass quite badly!

 

[Vaiyen]

most probably. YJM's lead tone was never bassy to begin with. I also find the absence of a tone knob off-putting. The only OD pedal I know with just 2 knobs.

Definitely look into mods. I'm sick of the thin crappy tones I've been getting from stock pedals (boss, ibanez, etc), and finally got my SD-2 overdrive modded. It makes an incredible difference. For once, I'm actually very happy with the tone I get from my gear.

The classic boss ds-1 distortion is a very famous pedal, but the stock pedal sounds like watered down @*!*&#(@$ compared to a properly modded one. I just happened to play with a custom modded version of the DS-1 compared to my stock version, and I was simply blown away by the depth and richness of the tone.

These pedals are capable of far better sound than they deliver.

 

[Mr_X]

borrow this thread abit. Is the ZW44 a good pedal?

 

[Vaiyen]

supposed to be a modification of the SD-1, which I really like. So it can't be bad I guess. But i've heard issues about it's durability.
