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.

i'll just be hacking out any space i need as and where i can find it!
