It helps to keep you guitar in tune.

Im not saying it's JUST a SHO. I'm saying he uses the same BS170 circuit for gain stages. The Johnny Octave has 4 SHOs, for example. And I know for a fact the BoR has a SHO. So does the Box of Metal...

Get rid of that Zvex, because the DLS is light-years better!!
-
well done!!!!!!
-
I think it sounds like ass, but that's probably because of the guitar.
It sounds like it hasn't had a proper set up in a while and the strings are buzzing or something I don't know, but there's this undertone ruining the whole thing. Then again, it might as well be a stratocaster as these things seem to sound this way.

the DLS is for me !

The DLS has some swirl going on like a top quality amp. The DTron has more of a stompbox sound.

I would have liked to see the OCD thrown into the mix for this review.

I still have my JCM 900 and the DLS sounds exactly like a Marshall (imo)

@anth202 This was done on a Mesa Rectoverb 50 combo. Check out some of my older clips for a couple demos of that amp.

Sorta subjective, really. You (listen and then) tell me.

Ok, but you tried them and compared them, so if you had to choose between these pedals, who did you choose ?

I don't have either of them anymore, but if I was going to buy one again..... I'd probably get a Dirty Little Secret.
