Here's one that's been often-imitated-never-replicated... the Dist+ made in onto some big records in it's day. It's driven by an op-amp and germanium transistors, so it's got a really particular tone: smooth lows with heaps of clarity through the top...

DOD stuff is enjoying a bit of a renaissance; turns out they were good all along! Who knew? Obviously JHS guy knew, but hey. Cranked up, this has a heap of harmonics and 'spike' to cut through a mix. It's...

This is a pretty nasty sounding pedal. It's kinda got that almost digital sizzle and sputter to it; it's pretty gross but for a certain garage punk or lo-fi grunge thing, maybe it's kinda perfect. It's objectively bad, but maybe you'll...

When I bought this, the gent who sold it to me lauded it's many virtues as a far more powerful and better sounding version of the ubiquitous Sansamp Bass DI. You know what? He's right, it is a better version...

This is one of the tastier and more natural sounding 'British stack in a box' pedals going around. There's some major flexibility on offer via the controls, so it goes from fairly sensible to all out madness. A cult favourite...

Here we have a proper vintage D&S II, complete with box and papers and in great shape. It's too old to have a 9v input or even an LED, but hey, you'll know it's on because you'll sound better. The...

This sounds awesome. The D&S II runs on a pair of op-amps with germanium clipping diodes, so it sounds similar to the classic 808, but with more low end heft and gain range. It's perfect for punchy, warm blues leads...

Maxon '01 Series' pedals were made in the late 80s and sold exclusively to the domestic Japan market. This is basically a take on the Ibanez SM-9, which Maxon made, in a new box. It's driven by a pair of...

This is a lot of fun. There's a hep of gain range on tap, as well as a blend control to maintain at least some grip on reality. The mid shift control is handy too; you can scoop or boost...

Boss DS-1... could it be the most iconic dirt pedal of all time? This orange box of anger dates to 1986 and was made in Japan. There is a certain tone to the MIJ models you don't get from the...
