Add Tube-like Distortion to Your Amp with the Gunslinger

The DOD Gunslinger MOSFET Distortion Pedal puts the tone of a genuine tube amplifier at your fingertips! No matter what style you play, you’ll appreciate how the Gunslinger's tube-like harmonics deliver detailed and complex overdrive and distortion tones, with an incredible level of touch sensitivity. A 2-band EQ offers plenty of room to fine-tune your sound to taste, and by rolling back your guitar's volume, the Gunslinger cleans up just like a traditional tube amplifier. What’s more, you can run this pedal using 9- or 12-volt power supplies, with the 12V mode giving you more headroom, less compression, and a tight, more open feel. Get the tube-like gain you want with the DOD Gunslinger MOSFET Distortion pedal!

Authentic tube-like response

By clipping gradually when overdriven, the Gunslinger’s MOSFET circuit delivers rich, organic dirt that comes close to a roaring tube amplifier. Even better, the Gunslinger manages to capture both the tone and the feel of a tube amp by reacting to the dynamics of your playing — a soft attack results in a smooth, less aggressive tone, while hitting the string with full force delivers screaming high-gain saturation.

DOD Gunslinger MOSFET Distortion Pedal Features:

  • Provides a plethora of tube-like distortion tones
  • MOSFET circuitry offers tube-like overdrive and touch sensitivity
  • 2-band EQ for finding the perfect sound
  • Choose between 9V power for operation or 12V for increased headroom and less compression
  • True Bypass for tonal integrity
  • Rugged brushed-metal housing

Underrated

This distortion just slays by cutting through. As most have said in other reviews, it's mid heavy, buts that's the point. Also the two band eq I found useful for tone shaping. It's aggressive and single notes do shine a bit more.
Rated 4.5/5

I really like it

I got it second hand. Sorry sweetwater. I play it thru a mesa mini rectifier and I think it sounds great. I like the mids it puts out but I like that you can also dial them out as well, you just got to get the bass and treble set at around 1 and 2 o'clock. The low end doesn't get muddy like some distortion I have used as well. It really shines on lead work. I'm gonna keep mine because it's the best distortion I have ever owned. I like it better than my ds-1, ds-2 and all the other distortion pedals that I use to own but sold. Yep, it has a permanent home between my fulltone old OCD and ehx soul food.
Rated 4/5

It's good, but it's raw

Really cool sounding,but not for everyone. It needs to be dialed in. There is a sweet spot or 2.
Rated 3/5

Not too bad, has good tones.

Got one when Digitech/DOD was blowing them out really cheap. It was either $ or $ I paid--for that little it was a great find and buy. Has plenty of gain and a good kicking sound, the extra mids people talk about are in a good way and not a detriment to the tone. My main issue is on a neck pickup, you can hear the sound kind of "close-up" on you, (maybe because of the FET, IDK) especially if you have Alnico 2 magnets in the neck pickup. At first there's clarity, then it gets muffled, I don't hear that on all pedals. Even other boutique FET type pedals like the Wampler Pinnacle are known for that. Whereas on the bridge pickup it does cut through and does it well. I wasn't as impressed as I thought it would be, even though cheap, (the TCE Dark Matter is a great alternative for the $ I paid for that the Dark Matter has a mid switch for the mid spike). At $ for this, knowing what it's like now I'd pass.

Gunslinger

Just got mine today and I recommend anyone interested in this pedal to try it out before buying it. It's got some good features and some bad ones. My impression is that it is a little too mid rangey for rhythm guitar but great for high note solos. I got it with intention of using it for rhythm guitar but it's much better for solo work. Power chords have a little bit of a big muff character to them but with plenty of attack which is something the big muff doesn't have. Wish it had a mid control so I could tame the mid range for rhythm guitar work. Very well built but careful when stomping on it or you'll move the control knobs. Plenty of volume and gain that doesn't get muddy. Great pinch harmonics and sustain but feeds back a little too easy although not out of control. All in all a great pedal to have for huge sounding high note solo work.
