This pedal was a real surprise package. One thinks of DeArmond as making pick ups, as opposed to grinding machines. The "Outer Limits" style squarewave graphics on the outside, should have been a hint as to the contents, but the box is so---so, beige, pastel beige!
The "Square Wave Distortion Generator", won't win a major contest for its versatility, however it's consistent as hell. Some might call it a one trick pony, to quote from Paul Simon's old film. It's obviously tough, to make a pedal that puts out multiple, very good sounds. DeArmond, seems to have tuned out all mitigating "hocus pocus", opting to confront the descent; straight into the heart of HUGENESS! If you like the sound; it won't wimp out on you, you'll always know what to expect when you step on the footswitch. Check it out.
