daphon overdrive boosting a recto

[jaredrutledge]

hey all, just picked up a daphon e200d overdrive from a friend for 40 AUD - it's a chinese tubescreamer replica with the original jrc4558d chip in it, and the harmony central reviews were mostly glowing.

catch is, i won't have my recto here in sydney till january and was curious if anybody had used one to boost a mesa. i was gonna get a maxon but i played this thing (granted, through a cheapie peavey) and was fairly impressed with its transparency. i find it to be really glassy with everything on the amp's clean channel at 12 o'clock and the pedal set the same, with the level down just a tad.

anybody else had experience with one of these?

No but if you can try the Carl Martin's plexitone pedal you'll maybe never look on other pedals anymore. :wink:

they probably cost a grand or something here in australia haha. but i was gonna get a maxon od808, but my friend offered to sell me this pedal and i figured for 40 bucks, why not?
