    I love my Catalinbread effects. Super Chili Picoso, Varioboost and Hyperpak.

    Think I'll give this one a try too.

    Thought I'd resurrect this fine thread on what turns out for me to be an absolutely definitive transparent low gain pedal.

    Some call this a Plexi/Marshall in a box. I am far from a Marshall expert but that is irrelevant to my point. This thing is so dynamic and touch sensitive
    and is the first pedal that I have had success stacking with others. I also have an OCD which isn't going anywhere that mates up well with this thing.

    When I am in the right mood during a practice routine this pedal seems to pick up on all my nuances, picking dynamics and feel. Just a great pedal to dig in with when you feel like cutting loose...

    Thanx,
    Jim

    Great OD ,and stacks very well try it with a Timmy ! Right now I run the Timmy (Light Gain /Boost) DLS (Medium Gain), and Lovepedal Kanji 9 (Distortion Gain)
    and stack em in different combos for different flavors! works for me...........

    I know that from all your comments and the majority opinion on the 'net that I might stand alone against the world - but I hate it :P

    My buddy bought one a couple months back and brought it over. We ran it thru my JVM, Hiwatt 50, and one other amp tho I forget now which. It sounded awful with my amps. Then he dragged it over here this weekend (reall, his whole pedal board for me to mess around with) so naturally I punched in the DLS again. No love, even after much tweaking.

    That said, given the huge majority that love it, I'm sure it's just a matter of trying it with the right amp/guitar and I'll change my tune.

    Yeah, there appears to be a lot of love for the DLS on TGP. It took me a bit before I realized it is an od unlike any od I have tried. With loudness at just above unity and gain at around 01:00 in the rock position, I find this to be my sweet spot with a Tele. Very bright but I have the tone knob at 12-01:00. The sustain, bloom and dynamics at those settings make for an enjoyable experience. Chords ring out beautifully.

    I know what you mean though, going against the grain and not getting on with hyped pedals. It's all in and between ones' ears I guess. I'm waiting on an original TS9 and am really looking forward to a comparison of the 2. I doubt I'll keep both but this TS9 better be something special to knock out the DLS

    I'm prpbably going to get one of these myself... getting rid of the byoc od2 and byoc 5knob compressor as well. The wampler ego squasher will replace the byoc compressor... and the dls will replace the od2.

    Yeah, I'm still keeping my eyes out for one of these too. Right now, I'm only running an OCD on my board for gain, and I think I want a 2nd flavour. Though there's something to be said for consistency.

    Hello,
    I have OCD v4 and I would be interested trading with DLS if you decide to switch
