- What happens when you put the DOD250, MXR Dist+ and the YJM308 together? You get this Analogman mod inspired Demon FX Overdrive Preamp pedal. If you are looking to push your amp hard, this has all of the options you'll ever need! What's more, it is INSANELY affordable...which brings us nicely onto the sponsor of this show www.affordaboard.co.uk , who offer these with none of the wait time you get from ordering direct from China. They offer incredible prices, often beating the direct prices and supply with free UK shipping (or international shipping available, message him for details). Strap in as we take the DemonFX overdrive preamp through it's paces unlocking every tone on No Talk All Tone.
If you like these reviews and demos, don't forget to drop me a comment and let me know. By dropping a comment there, you will please the algorithm gods and make my videos more visible, which would be awesome. If you have one of these yourself, let me know how you are getting on with it yourself in a comment or a video response, I'd love to hear how it is getting on in your rig through different amps and guitars.
The demo gear in this video is all run through Practical Patch cables, including instrument cables and patch cables. These are using some top-quality components, including Neutrik jacks and Van Damme cable and are hand-assembled and tested in the UK. After having off-the-shelf cables for years and suffering failures again and again, I bought some Practical Patch cables and have been happier than ever with them. They also don’t cost you the Earth, which some other hand made cable companies seem to do. If you want to find out more, head over to www.practicalpatch.co.uk to see what they have to offer.

I had one of these, sounded great. Was thinking of getting the mxr distortion plus soley because I'm superficial and I think it looks cooler lol, loved the germanium mode on bass
🤣🤣 We've all been there, no judgement here. Go used and you'll get it for the price of a decent budget pedal 👍
GE with MXR is one of my favorite OD sounds and find myself using it over all my other drive pedals.
Ge diodes give a wonderful, softer vintage response. It's a great pedal for sure 👍
Mine arrived today, along with a mint condition DOD YJM 308, both sound so amazing, but the Demon FX was literally a third the cost of the DOD @ just USD $50.
I'm still just trying to get acquainted with the modes, but it sounds very damn close to my DOD YJM 308, and DOD Preamp Overdrive pedals. Love it, may look into their other stuff too.
Thanks for letting me know. I've not tried the yjm, so it's nice to know that it's close 👍 I would encourage it, they make some fab stuff
As a huge fan of the dod 250, i need to try this! I have an original grey 250 from 1978 I bought for 60 bucks back 2015 and its been my favorite drive since. Seeing as they are so expensive now, ive searched for a good clone to keep on my board so i can keep the original in good condition and use for recording. Ive tried some other clones of it, but none of them did the trick except for the byoc clone. I double checked the parts of that kit to mine and they are almost identical. Sound wise, its pretty much dead on.
Im very vurious to give this one a try as itll give me a bit more versatility if it can nail the grey 250 sound mine has. Thanks for the demo!
Hopefully this one will do the trick 👍 I have only ever tried dod250 clones, so I can't speak about the authenticity of that but I made an mxr dist+ myself and this sounds just as good, so I have faith. It's worth a punt for the price at least anyway. Let me know how you get on 👍
Sounds great. I'm tempted more than ever with one of these bad boys.
Especially at the price, they are hard to resist huh?
Its a no brainer. One of the best value pedals on the market.
Demon is an excellent clone maker. I've never gried a germanium drive but really need to get my hands on one.
Germanium tends to lead to a softer feeling clipping than silicon and generally a bit lower gain. Definitely an interesting texture to have in the toolbox
@@BudgetPedalChap all caught up now. Im appalled it took me this long to notice I was missing BPC in my life. Hope this binge fixed the algorithm but if not im on it. Also, I'm ashamed to say I just accidentally stumbled upon your podcast, but as I work at a very significant national park on the east coast of the US that has about 1000 acres that needs field mowed 15 feet at a time over the next 2 months Ill have plenty of time to get into your episodes! Keep up the great work.
@@jfiery funnily enough, the podcast predates the TH-cam channel (just about). I don't promote it as much as I perhaps could on the channel tbf, but I love doing it. It's like a weekly therapy session where we get to chat about guitar things 😂😂
@@BudgetPedalChap you're a hard working man. Much to all our benefit.
Excellent demo
Cheers 👍
Great demo 👏🏻
Cheers, it's a versatile amp pusher for sure
sorry to butt in but - the dod 250 does have clipping diodes . it uses 1n4148 si clipping diodes . i like to remove these , put them on a toggle and on the other side of the toggle i will put a pair of red 3mm leds . this is the way .
Sorry, my mistake. I can understand why you'd go for LED clipping, it's great isn't it?
Budget King here, the very FIRST 250's were pretty much part-for-part clones of the MXR D+, so they used the germanium transistors, then by the time the "gray box" 250s were released, they were using silicon. I personally prefer silicon because they're louder, have more headroom, and they're much more stable and predictable (not effected by temperature, etc) than germanium. GREAT video demo, btw!
Yeah, the consistency of silicon is the real bonus. Silicon tends to allow more of the upper mid through as well, I have found. Germanium tends to feel softer and spongier
Clipping diodes. The gain stages are OpAmp based
I kept waiting to hear the Marshall at 10 with the pedal also on 10 and hear some Yngwie licks.
The moment I can successfully nail Yngwie licks, I'll get on that 😂😂
How would this sound with humbuckers? Is that pointless lol?
@@he11bent6 humbuckers would give it a bit more level going into the front end so it'll drive harder, you'll get a thicker EQ too. I think it would probably sound quite nice with buckers tbf 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap thank you! I’m fairly new to using drive pedals. In the past I’ve just used a pushed custom built tube amp that is sort of an Orange/Plexi mix for natural drive.
I have an AT-DS on the way also. Just wanting to try out different drives. Thinking about an r4 revv also haha
@@he11bent6 I'm always here if you need help 👍 there is nothing wrong with pushing an amp into natural drive too, it's a great tone
nice pedal but boring blues licks
Feel free to share your pedal demo below, I'll happily check it out.
