Classic DOD 250 Tone
The Gain control moves from light breakup and boost through to fuller overdrive and distortion, while Level sets the overall output.
Lower Gain with higher Level works particularly well for pushing an amplifier or another drive pedal, while higher Gain settings deliver the raw, crunchy character the DOD 250 is known for.
