DOD Gunslinger Mosfet Distortion Pedal.
Make your leads soar and your chords explode with the Gunslinger Mosfet Distortion Pedal from DOD, an analog distortion pedal that captures the warmth, linear distortion pattern, and harmonics of a tube preamp through a solid-state MOSFET circuit. Oodles of output gain and a wide gain range are complimented by 2-band tone control (high and low), gain, and output volume control, and the ability to operate with an 18V input for even greater amounts of gain and headroom.
The Gunslinger features 1/4" TS Hi-Z input and output jacks, a typical metal footswitch, and an crisp, blue LED power indicator. The Gunslinger can operate on a single 9V alkaline dry cell battery, or an optional 9 VDC power adapter, such as the Digitech PS0913SC.
The DOD Gunslinger's MOSFET circuit (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) provides a highly linear distortion, similar to the tube preamps of a guitar amplifier, clipping at a gradual, steady rate when overdriven and delivering very warm, tube-like harmonics. This distortion will clean up when you play softly and become much more aggressive when you dig in and attack your strings, resulting in a pedal that is highly sensitive to your individual playing style.
This DOD Gunslinger fully supports power input up to 18V. Going from 9 to 18V unlocks a range of advantages, including more output volume and greater control over gain. 18V operation also provides greater clean headroom, giving you more range of clean tone before your guitar signal breaks up and distorts.
The Gunslinger is true bypass, which allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when you are merely passing your signal through. Along with the optional power supply input, this makes the Gunslinger very pedalboard friendly.
Most guitarists and bassists will favor placing the Gunslinger at the beginning of their chain of effects. Placing the Gunslinger toward the front of your chain will preserve the vibe of your tone no matter the pedal combination. That being said, you may wish to experiment with effect placement.
