Fantastic take on a classic distortion.

This is a great interpretation of the DOD 250/Ross Distortion/MXR Distortion+ circuit but with a 3-band EQ. Many builders have made clones of the 250 and try to add a tone stack, but that usually ruins the circuit, but somehow Black Arts Toneworks figured it out. The texture of the distortion is a kind of loose grit, open and not super compressed. It has a kind of 70's smokey, greasy feel to it.
