OVERDRIVE- ROWIN DIST-II ...BOSS DS-1 clone via Mooer

$25.00 USD 
 
Rowin      
  DIST-II   
BOSS started it all by taking the topography of a RAT pedal doing a tweak or two and out came the BOSS DS-1 Distortion pedal. MOOER came along and cloned it and named it the ULTRA Drive MK 2. Over the years 35 distributors went to MOOER of which one was Rowin. They made a deal to have MOOER 
do re-brands of many of the MOOER mini pedals. In this case the pedal got 
a blue paint job. The name was shortened to just DIST-II. 
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. Since it is an OpAmp/clipping 
diode pedal you get a 2 diodes and a third voice via both diodes. 
CONCLUSION __ 
Well for a start the plain and simple name and 
graphics give the pedal a bit of an up-market 
vibe. MOOER removed any trace of a RAT sound 
of the BOSS completely. I once had the BOSS 
but found it thin and nasal sounding. So does 
it sound like the BOSS, Thank god NO, LOL.  
..so at $25.00 USD & with free shipping ???   

...check it out the differences are very minor
