GremlinAndy Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hey guys, has anyone here managed to get hold of one of these (DSM Drivemaker) pedals in the UK? I'll order from US if that's my only option. The pound is so weak that it's gonna be expensive whatever route I take. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Daniel is only a small builder and has attempted to get a U.K. Dealer with no luck I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GremlinAndy Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 I just checked the online tracking and its in the UK. Yay! With Parcelforce. Boo! Heh heh. It should arrive tomorrow I think... Hope. There's going to be an import charge and parcelforce own blackmail, sorry, 'handling' charge to pay. As soon as it arrives, or should I say once I've put it through its paces, I'll try to get some sort of review online. I can say already though that Daniel has been brilliant, with great comms and prompt action in shipping it out. A lovely chap too. Very appreciative that people are buying his effects.

fretmeister Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Lovely. I keep listening to the Mr Exane demo. Sounds great. But then again he makes everything sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1490187530' post='3262998'] I keep listening to the Mr Exane demo. Sounds great. But then again he makes everything sound good. [/quote] Really? I couldn't disagree more... He makes everything sound rushed and uses equipment virtually nobody else owns for his demos, which in my mind makes them entirely non-representative of what the demoed pedal would sound like! His are the only gear demos I actively avoid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Interesting how people's opinions differ! I love his demos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GremlinAndy Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Well, I had the weekend to give it a bash. All in the house using PJ Bass "Bighead" and some Audi Technica headphones. I like it. It's capable of so many sounds. So many that it could do with programmable channels to store more than one. I actually like the sound of it when the gain is *almost* minimum. It adds an edge and harmonics without being too obvious. That's a sound not really covered at all in the demo mentioned above. I have been searching for the right sound for me for a long while... I currently own, Darklass B3K and Vintage, Black Cat OD-1, Aguilar Agro (rack), Aguilar Tone Hammer (ags), Suhr Riot, EHX Bass Soul Food. And probably others I can't think of right now... And the DSM has it for me. It's a single pedal that kind of does it all. It may not be right for you, because I think OD, Distortion, Fuzz is so very personal. Until the DSM I was favouring the cheapest pedal in the list above, the Bass Soul Food. I don't play metal or doom, so I don't want too much of anything really, and I found the SF the easiest to control. So in summary, I love the DSM, and it's probably more capable than I'll ever need, but right now it's the only one which will make my pedalboard.
