so, i just traded a line 6 dl4 for a holy grail reverb and a 1979 distortion+. i heard you can get kinda fuzzy on the higher distortion settings and that its a sweet od. any fans? how would you describe this pedal?

I've got one of the dunlop reissues, and it's ok... I don't really like it that much though. I was just trying to find a good distortion pedal to use with my Twin Reverb so I bought it because I heard a lot of people talk about them. I've been kinda disappointed with it though so now I really just use my VOX Tonelab instead.
do you think a 79 d+ would make a good fair trade for say a rat II? ive always wanted a rat II and i know for sure i like it. well see how i like the d+ i suppose.

Plus it's got those ginormous wheels on the side so you can adjust it with your feet while you play. (The matching Phaser is even better that way) And it's tough enough to fall from the roof of a moving car, get run over a couple of times and still work. I know from unfortunate experience.
its pretty cool. im not using it as a straight ahead distortion, but rather a "destruct switch. i hit it when im using my biog muff or something else so that it makes alot of loud noise and kinda feedsback alot. its really fun!
the sound by itelf is a little trebly for me actually.

You can't go balls out with those... sounds too harsh. I use it because it responds to my pick like no other distortion/overdrive I have ever had. Mine is from 1979. Guy Picciotto from Fugazi uses one of these.
