Description

Introducing the DOD Gunslinger, a Mosfet Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal that delivers the touch sensitivity, string-separation, and saturation to cater to your wildest sonic needs. Whether you're performing explosive chord work or high velocity leads, its wide range of gain and output has got you covered.

Constructed with a brushed-metal housing, this pedal is as tough as it sounds. It's designed to react to the dynamics of your playing, offering gradual and steady clipping properties when overdriven, akin to the harmonics of preamp tubes in a guitar amp.

The DOD Gunslinger is equipped with separate Low and High tone controls, allowing you to shape your tone to perfection. To top it all off, its true bypass circuitry ensures that your guitar tone remains pristine even when the pedal is off. And with its modern 9V DC power supply input and compact size, this pedal is a friendly companion to your pedalboard.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about DOD Gunslinger.

Features and functionality

  • Running the DOD Gunslinger at 12v offers more headroom compared to 9v, but the difference is not as significant at 18v.

    Source
  • The pedal is noted for its harsh midsy sound, reminiscent of a RAT, which can effectively cut through a mix.

    Source
  • The pedal excels at producing fuzz-like tones, especially with low gain and active tone controls cranked, enhancing thicker bass and rolled-back treble.

    Source

User experience

  • When used with passive humbuckers like those in a Yamaha sg1000, the pedal excels at punchy leads with sustain but can sound messy for rhythm.

    Source
  • Owners report that the pedal doesn't clean up well but excels at delivering strong rock tones.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The Gunslinger pairs well with a tube screamer at full volume and low gain to enhance mids, offering a versatile tonal range.

    Source
  • It's highly suitable for classic hard rock and early metal, with a low control that makes it usable for bass.

    Source
  • The Gunslinger delivers a more aggressive tone on a Gibson Nighthawk, reminiscent of MXR FET Driver or EHX Glove, contrasting with muddy tones on high-output pickups.

    Source
  • Provides a crunchy, psychedelic tone when used with phasers or wahs, ideal for genres requiring a fuzz-like distortion.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • The DOD Gunslinger is praised for being a budget-friendly option, often available for around $50, with a wide tonal range and a usable gain knob.

    Source
  • Some users have found it for as low as $30, making it a risk-free experiment for many.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Running the pedal at 18v can risk damage; it's safer to use 12v to prevent frying, as some power supplies exceed their listed voltage.

    Source

Build quality

  • The super bright LED is a common gripe but can be replaced for those sensitive to bright lights.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Paired with an EQD Monarch, the Gunslinger effectively handles additional gain, offering unique tonal combinations different from pedals like the Blues Driver or Boneshaker.

    Source
  • On a Squier Bullet with stock pickups, the Gunslinger brightens tones compared to an Epi Black Beauty, suggesting synergy with lower-cost guitars.

In Rocky's own words: "I've been playing with these bad boys lately and all I got to say is, it's a good time to be a guitar aficionado. The Gunslinger is an exceptional distortion pedal, the Mosaic turns your 6 string into a sweet sounding 12 string and the Boneshaker is... the one, it's the Valhalla of tone! Check them out at @digitechfx when you have the chance!"
