x_rox :
is it like the effects on the Line 6 amp or is it completely different sound tones?

It's not based after the line 6 heads. It re-creates the tones of the most sought after vintage tones. Like the boss MT-2, Ibanez tube screamer ect... It is awesome dude!

Ibanez tube screamer is an overdrive.

"Ibanez tube screamer is an overdrive."

Overdrive IS distortion... normally overdrive refers to soft-clipping tho, which a Tube Screamer is... but that doesn't mean its not distortion.

*sob* someone stole mine im trying to determine if its worth replacing. to me, the distortions are a little hard to control, theyre a bit digital and dont seem to shape the sound too well.

Looks more like an overdrive pedal than a distortion..

^^^agreed, its the wrong colour for a distortion box, imagen that being there on stage, oposed to a digitech distortion factory.

Really great pedal. The only downside is the Jet Fuzz - it sounds like absolute shit and you can't control the tone.

Everything else excellent, highly recommended.

Sounds good. Should i get this or the digitech distortion factory(which is a lot cheaper)?

Someone else should write a review of this, the current one is too short and gives very little user detail, but if I could ask one question to anyone who has it, how do you bypass this thing, because i'm thinking of getting one but that confuses me.

Jimmy Podge :
I bought one of these 2ndhand in decent condition of ebay for £70 ($140) to replace my big muff and mxr boost which had died. The DM4 has emulations of these pedals onboard. There's some nice nice sounds (rhe octavia's nice)but they're not powerful enough to truly emulate the originals. I could get 2-3 time the level(volume) boost out of the old stompers. The DM4 went up in smoke (literally) after using a dodgy Line6 power supply. Prior to that the stomp switches were starting to come loose too. It's not robust at all. I'd always fancied the DL4 delay but my experience with this put me off that idea. In the long run I spent £20-£30 ($50) getting the old stomp boxes repaired to a better spec than they were in the first place.
