Ease of Use

Two toggles, two Foot switches, two knobs, one inpute, two outputs, easy as pi... The toggles allow you to select whether channel one will act as a pre-amp or a buffer, the second toggle selects whether the channels operate independeantly of one another or if channel one cascades into channel two (the second output is disabled in this mode). The knobs determine how muchoutput is going to each channel witha max of 25db of gain available per channel... I run in stereo so I operate with both channels independent of one another, knobs are maxed and channel one is set as a pre-amp.

I use custom telecasters, that I build myself, all swamp ash with maple necks, some with maple fretboards and some with rosewood, all with either single coil or humbucker Duncan Alnico II pros. Chain goes tele > dunlop slash wash > bbe soul-vibe > Dos Mos >(stereo out)> DLS Echo-tap >(stereo out)> (2) JCM-900's...
I run my amps pretty clean, the clean channel is very clean on one amp and just the slightest hint of breakup on the second. the dirty channel is set on one with a great AC/DC type rhythm tone, the second amp set just a tiny bit hotter. they run on the same foot switch so both are clean or both dirty. The dos mos with one channel activated takes my clean tone from a chimey clear to a little broken up voxish type of sound... with both channels of the dos mos active it takes the clean channel of the amps and adds enough gain so they sound just like hte dirty channels of the amps. If I run the dirty channel of the amps with one channel on the dos mos active its a good lead tone from one with rhythm on the other makes a great contrast without getting too gainy, with both channels of the dos mos active it is pure gain heaven all the saturation and thump of the Diezel VH4S I really wanted but without the 4K price tag. this is the perfect pedal for what I want!

Ive tried quite a few different boosts/od's/fuzzes and this is heads and shoulders above the rest. While most dual channel pedals either cascade one channel into the next or allow you to simply select one channel or the other, this one allows you to operate both simultaneously without the cascading gain overload, or you can cascade them if you want... For my stereo setup this pedal is absolutely perfect, I have far more options and tonal capabilities than I couldve imagined and Im as happy as a pig in ****....
