Pedals are a great impulse-buy, they’re like toys for adults. The DemonFx Overdrive Preamp is dirt-cheap and contains the MXR Distortion Plus, the DOD Overdrive Preamp (pretty much a knockoff of the Plus,) the YJM 308 (a variation on the Overdrive Preamp) and a DOD micro-amp, with the option for germanium transistors. To me it’s somewhere between an overdrive and distortion, compared to a Tube Screamer it really adds girth to single-notes and almost a synth-like juicyness to rhythm playing. IMO sounds terrible by itself but in front of an overdriven amp or sim, relatively guilt-free good times.
