I am a total tone freak and have to have the perfect tone or I won't be happy. This is a nice pedal, but it just isn't for me. All the tones on it (even the overdrives) just sounded too heavy and way to clustered. It just wasn't right for me at all. I am planning on trading it in and buying a Lovepedal Les Leis. It is cool that you can have 4 different tones on one pedal. So if you're into a heavier sound and not so picky I would recommend this pedal, but if you're like me don't get it.

This box does everything well. I have had this box for four years now and I own about 16-20 stompboxes and assortment of multifunctionals like the Boss and digitech bass and guitar modulators, but this is the box I use. it has good tone for the reasonable ear, it is sturdy and it is portable and that is why I think we buy this multiple tone shifting distortion gadgets

My DM-4 has all the destinctive distortion sound I've been looking.It's easy to preset each sound and you can use the knobs to dial in the sound I like.I've compared it to some of the pedals I own like big muff,ts-808,metal 2,and friends coul'nt tell the difference,I highly recommend this pedal.The price should be lower.But you get what your paying for.Thank you.

Off the bat I just want to say I purchased this pedal on consignment in a local store for $100.00 in flawless condition w/box and all. I am writing in reference of it's value based on it's list price though. This pedal is complex looking, but very easy to sit and tinker with. You can program 4 stompable effects to switch between alongside of that you can still fine-tune (edit) them on stage with the turn of a dial without permanently changing your pre-set. This is a very sturdy and attractive pedal. It takes you from early metal (heavy) Rat sounds, to heavy metal destruction. It also fine tunes a solid sounding vintage amplifier with bright overdrive to an almost acoustic sounding reverb effect on a light overdrive. This pedal can make Strats sound like Pantera, and Warlocks sound like BB King. It's tunable and easy if you invest your time into a little tinkering... or throw your money away on 16 stompboxes, a few noisegates, some EQ pedals, and 30 guitars that adds nothing but extra hum and loss of tone for each additional pedal and circuit stopper out there. Don't be an idiot when buying at all, and this is no mistake to own right here!

I'm a tone freak, and that makes it impossible for me to like this pedal. The pedal has a lot of programability, but that's the problem. It does too much. It's good at a lot of things, but great at nothing. You're paying a very good price for a wide variety of sounds, but all of them are very digital and contrived. This is a DIGITAL MODELER, so just expect to get what you pay for. This pedal is great for someone less picky who needs several tones for a small price, but anyone who loves the tones this pedal aspires to create will probably be disappointed with how thin this pedal comes through for them. I definately was.

To be fair though, I'll tell you how picky I am: I now have a three amp set-up with a footswitch to switch between them. It was a mistake for me to buy this pedal. I got it because I have it's delay modeler brother pedal and love it. I highly recommend that one.
