DOD 250 reissue

Anyone have any experience of these overdrive/preamp pedals? Heard a guy using one of these on its own into an SVT and it was one of the best bass sounds I've ever heard. Looking to replace a knackered old plastic tubescreamer and thought this might work well. Anyone used one? Bit put off by the lack of an LED I have to say.

I've got one, and I like it but don't use it anymore. The overdrive sounds best at low gain, adds a hint of grit, and it does a good volume boost which again adds a nice grit. Up the gain and things get a bit fizzy, but that's not what the pedal is about. Would be great for pushing a valve amp I'd say. The LED thing is annoying, but it should be an easy mod at least!

Hmm. Would you consider selling it then Wil?

Didn't know Analog Man did a mod. Whats the main difference? If I was to spend any more than the £40 the 250 costs I'd have lots of other options, including the Cream Pie on here at the moment. Didn't you have one? How would it compare to the modded 250 and a tubescreamer?

You can build one for less than that!
Not a difficult project, if you can use a soldering iron

Hehe, yea it's certainly gonna be put to good use. Playing the Islington Academy with it on Wednesday then taking it off round Europe in November after demo'ing stuff for the next album with it.
