General Guitar Gadgets Distortion Kit(s) DOD™ 250™, MXR™, and ROSS™ Replicas Demo

GGG offers four variations of its distortion kit: DOD ™ 250 replica; a replica 1977 version of the 250; MXR ™ Distortion Plus ™ replica, and a replica of the Ross ™ Distortion.

Though each pedal has its own sound, the builds are very similar aside from part values. The Ross ™, for example, utilizes germanium diodes to give it a sound of its own. There are also many options to further modify the pedals by adding additional diodes for more overdrive/distortion, etc.

Upon purchasing a Distortion kit from GGG, all the parts are included to enable the build of any of these pedals. There are also plenty of extra diodes for adding more overdrive/distortion. The beauty of this kit, too, is you can experiment with various values from each design to create a pedal all your own.

I played my 1983 Les Paul Deluxe through a Carvin V-50 head (circa 96) and a Carvin Vintage 4x10 cab w/ original speakers (no longer made). I played solely on the clean channel set as: Treb- 6.75; Mid- 6.75; Bass- 9; Vol- 1.

If you hear some noisy rumbling in the vid, its due to some kind of internal compressor/limiter on the camera. It doesnt do well transitioning from louder to quieter sounds.

Your videos are very straightforward. Easy to understand....you're a good communicator.

@primeVibe: Thanks. I try to take it from the perspective of an interested player.

which one would sound best for acdc, van halen, slash?

@rockerguitar77: I like the 250 and 250 '77 modded with extra clippers (which is an easy option with the kit and includes all parts to do it).

the 250 (regular not 77) and Distortion+ sound really good to me, I'm going to have to build those for sure! the other ones are less aggressive and more overdrivey not quite as much to my preference

@monkeyxx: Yeah. I love how there are so many options/combinations with one board to build the pedal of your choice.

@CaldaroneRyan Basically any of the versions demonstrated are the closest to the originals as you can get without actually having to track one down and pay big bucks for.
