Yo yo yo.

1: Greatest forum ever.

2: Yeah, I just got the QDD distortion driver. I was contemplating getting the tubescreamer one, but got the 2 switch mid/gain booster instead.

Sound quality really suprised me, the five setting son the QDD (in my own words) are
off,
light crunch-sort of 60s/70s overdrive,
same as before but with more gain,
really bassy, boomy overdrive
high gain distortion.

I use settings 2 and 3 to push my valve amp a little more, and it works quite well. I use setting 4 when there's too much treble, like when i need a really smooth sound. The 5th setting really can be used as a standalone distortion, but i like to use it with an oveerdriven amp to create a horribly messy, fuzz-type sound, and it also creates instant feedback.

Be warned though, it does require a lot of room. I had to do a fair bit of 'routing' to fit everything in. (routing = drilling + chiseling for me) Of course, I did fit a TBX pot and the mid/gain boost switch aswell, but the QDD has the pcb mounted vertically, so it need about an inch maybe more space from the pickguard.
