Damage Control Womanizer tube distortion

[morenoanomalia]

this is a demo realized foy a company that works in professional sound enginering with a staff of pros and musicians ¿right? well, ¿why then, anybody can tell to this guy: "hey man! while you're talking set your amp in bypass or, roll all way down the volume pot of your guitar"? there's a lot of noise coming from the amp.. are pros or anybody can figure this?

I was not aware of the clapton "women tone" Maybe that is where they got the name but the replay I got was not what I had expected. If one of you pedals is called the Demonizer how do you say that the name of the product doesn't count. I thought that the reply was silly but I understand that was his point of view. What do you think?

[MegaGforce5]

can't argue with that, good luck

[MegaGforce5]

guys, wonderful demo. womenizer, I know what it means but really .. womenizer. I can't think of a worse name for the product! Yeah I want to have the women pedal. It is a marketing blunder. It is a bad name for a good product. I guess it sound stupid but in the market that this pedal competes in "womenizer" Is goof. How about the rocknator or the classic or anything but "SUE" I still like the pedal. However guys young and old I think will not like the name and maybe not give the pedal a look.

@MegaGforce5 thats good because any guy who chooses a pedal based on its name and not its sound is another guitarist who doesn't deserve a decent pedal. Boss...everything rock was against, work, being told what to do and the pedals name is...boss.... and yet they are the most popular because they generally make decent pedals (not always) a good pedal is a good pedal, names are nothing, if anything the cooler the name the more i suspect it

[NHBluesMan]

@MegaGforce5 my guess is that its something to do with the Clapton "woman" tone, because it gives a similar sound to classic tube amp distortion... also, saying someone is a womanizer means they ATTRACT women, and isn't that the goal of all guitarists? XD

[mandolinroad]

sounds kinda noisy

[glassbottleblues]

seriously,, nuclear territory?? I haven't heard anything a ds-1 can't do, I wanted this pedal to be great,, there was one on my local c.l for cheap. Does sound good but I've heard better for cheaper. Credit to the guy demoing pedal

@glassbottleblues Mail it to me.

I play metal music. Which pedal do you recommend?

[beabbong]

@kangaroozack I just heard that the Solid Metal pedal from Damage Control is the best, but it's no longer available.

[texanfournow]

@beabbong I have the Solid Metal, bought off Ebay. I love it! Warm, natural distortion with many degrees of tone available. I have tried many cheaper pedals and none compare to this one. BTW none of these DC tube pedals (6) are available new, but can occasionally be found on Ebay for $150-250.

Hi there, how does this pedal fare with a bass guitar?

Is the DI output also tube driven?

[DamageControlUSA]

@iam0103 hey there... sounds great with a bass! yes the DI output is also tube driven... thanks

[brunocbrito]

Realy nice pedal! Both: The womanizer and the demonizer! Congratulations!

[chafin1993]

Is this pedal really worth the $300? Im into classic rock, and thrash metal, and from what ive seen on it i can get the tone i want, by my metal zone works perfect for the genres i play, just curious if its worth buying

[Zhorellski]

Which Amp does this Woman sounds like?

[pratfrederic]

I have it!

What i was waiting for!thanks to make my dream comme true(for my haze15 and others i have)

[Rekilo]

Would this work well going through a Solid State amp?

[xntrickk]

yes, it works great with solid state amps...

[Sick1982]

I don't have the Womanizer, but the Demonizer, Solid Metal and Liquid Blues work VERY well through my Cube 30x :d To be fully honest I did change the speaker to a Celestion G10 Vintage, not a huge difference in voicing, but it does have a far better response.

[HeavyMetalThunderss]

Can I use this pedal (or any of these distortions) direct to a tube amp (not to the effects loop of the amp) ? I have to do so in order to operate my Guitar synth and have a distorted sound at the same time. .

Thanks

[DamageControlUSA]

Definitely ... they can be used in front of any amp. Thanks for the comment!

[HeavyMetalThunderss]

Thank you , I have already bought one . I bought the Solid Metal. I believe it's the best for 80's era distortion boosts (isn't it?) .....and not only. Cheers and thanks again...

[HeavyMetalThunderss]

(Will have to wait till it arrives and then I can post a review..)

[Sick1982]

Depends, I think the Solid Metal is very "clean", smooth and modern (to my ears), very well suited for black/death metal. While the Demonizer has a more dirty type of distortion, like a rock amp being boosted into metal territory. Why not get both? ;-) I would NEVER sell those!

[Sick1982]

Yes, they work best in front of the amp, through the loop it doesn't sound as good, but that's my opinion.

[privatemeta]

Impressive Quality!
