Matthew Springer	Re: blackstone mosfet overdrive pedal? I just traded my FD2 for one and it's the best distortion pedal I've heard. The internal component tweaking is very helpful. I found a whole range of sounds by adjusting the output "presence cap" for instance. The brown channel does a really good plexi sound. The red channel (heavy distortion) does the pseudo octave eric johnson thing very well. I'd say it's the best pedal I own or have owned. It actually sounds wuite a bit like the Booster 2.5+ crop of DIY pedals that are going around. The ONLY thing I can possibly complain about is that it doesn't like a wah pedal in front of it very much (or at least my Mu-tron). Definatley pick one up if you like the dark, heavy plexi thing at less than head crushing levels. -Matthew Some stuff I went through before I hit this one: FD2, SoulB, 70's, Varidrive, Tube Driver, MP-1, Sansamp PSA-1, V-twin
