One of the best demos on youtube. Congrats mate.
That Friedman really sounds like the HM2.
Uso el MXR dist +, y lo seguiré haciendo. El Maxton tiene una excelente definición. El RAT es icónico. Excelente tu trabajo, muy profesional!
So refreshing to see a valid comparison test. Thanks.
Sonic distortion is such a sleeper pedal. Glad you included it.
Everyone has is place to achieve a lot of sounds in different situation. Then, there is personal taste. The Guv'nor is awesome for classic rock/hard rock and i like Rat too. Nice video!!
I got pleasantly surprised by the MXR. Who needs a tone control :D
Marshall. Good dynamic, headroom, clarity.
Damn, i love videos like this :)
Fantastic demo!
Great demo of distortion pedals ❤️ Really loved it 🔥 Greetings from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
Good comparison video, congratulations!
Great vídeo!! Fantàstic sounds.
DS1 with Single coils and MXR with humbuckers have been my go-to goose pedals in front of a Marshall amp for 40 years. I keep trying new pedals , but...
Great demo! If you ask me, it is the Rat followed by the MXR.
Esta review me abrio los ojos. Nunca pude probar estos pedales en el mismo equipo y con tiempo. Todos sonaron bien. Algunos me gustaron mas que otros pero hasta el metal zone me gusto. El friedman me decepciono un poco. Esperaba mucho mas. Excelente como todos sus reviews.
It was weird when it occurred to me that punk's initial wave (1976-77) involving The Sex Pistols, The Damned, X Ray Spex etc happened before distortion pedals were as readily available and common as they quickly became later. You listen to "Damned Damned Damned", and the guitar work is almost totally clean. But they sounded kickass regardless, because the playing itself is really aggressive. I wonder how weary The Sex Pistols got with their practice sessions, with Steve Jones having to turn up a Twin Reverb up to 10 in order to get any meaningful distortion, lol. No wonder Johnny Rotten is a bitter grouch. 😂
I'm old enough; there were "fuzz boxes", but nothing I'm aware of re dirt boxes which sounded more amp-like, before Boss etc appeared.
And consumer based guitar tuners didn't exist till late 1983. We used a pitch pipe or tuning fork.
Long live the rodent🤘Also, I think I need a Guv’nor now. Hearing the D+ in action has me even more excited for the clone of it I’m about to build. Honorable mention to HM-2. Obviously way more range than it’s usually given credit for. Definitely more than just a saw.
Nice video 👍
Guv'nor. MXR is very good too
Best testing methodology I've seen.
MXR FTW. Wish I hadn’t sold mine now.
The MXR and the Rat were nice, but that Guv'nor, man, it was awesome! In the other hand, the Boss, the Maxon, the Metal Zone and the Friedman, they all chug 🤘🏻

Overall i was prerty surprised by the mxr. Standalone as a pedal the freidman was very good but fell short with the amp test. Srandalone as a pedal didn't really like the sound of the Maxon, but boy did it come alive together with the amp.
Perfect video! For me mxr dist+ evreyday!
Please make history of overdrive pedals.
I love the MXR and funny how the DS1 sounds like a jar of bees. I already have 12 distortion pedals so I need the MXR too. Are the new ones as good as the vintage ones?
Ya I wouldn't see why they would be as good or better. But you can go down the rabbit hole on that
RAT and Guv'nor are the best to my taste.
MXR and Maxon for me.
MXR Distortion + and Boss HM2 for me.
MXR baby! (RAT too)
dynamic check most important test... also i couldn't believe how bad the rat was at low gain
Well that guvenor is rare quite rare now... For good reason
Brilliant demo, other youtube content should take a leaf out of your book, IE cut out the verbal diarrhea.
is it my imagination or are you playing the ones you like with just a little more flair
I love my Proco Dirty Rat :)
Germanium clipping is where it’s at. I’m surprised the Dirty Rat is not spoken of more often.

The Marshall Guv'nor is my favorite of these pedals. Sounds like a Marshall (duh) and Marshall is the sound of Rock N Roll. Simple as that!
RAT still king of dirt
maxon is awesome, I have it, but its much better with tone knob at 9 oclock
MXR and Rat were my picks. That DS1 sounds like hot garbage
It hasn’t aged very well but it was great innovation for the time
rat king 🐀👑
