About this item:
  • Legendary Vintage Distortion: The Indio DS 6 True Bypass Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal faithfully reproduces the tone of legendary distortion pedals of the mid to late 70s and early 80s, which were mostly characterized by their simple design and ample available gain. Despite their over the top potential, these distortion pedals are versatile, as they can be run at every gain stage with equally awesome results. The Indio DS 6 True Bypass Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal uses comparable, yet modern components (operational amplifiers and chips) to replicate the character that made the originals the best vintage distortion pedals ever made.
  • True Bypass Design and Full Metal Construction: Unlike most inexpensive guitar pedals, Indio pedals feature a true bypass design, keeping your tone pristine when not engaged. Other boutique guitar pedals featuring a true bypass design will cost several times more, while using the same components inside every Indio pedal. Additionally, Indio true bypass guitar effects feature full metal construction, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of the road. The full size housing provides enough separation on your board, reducing the crowding issues associated with inexpensive mini pedals.
  • Versatile Power: Indio true bypass guitar effect pedals can be powered either by a 9V battery or an external power supply, making them both versatile and venue/scenario proof. Use the 611690 Stage Right 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals (available separately) when playing at home, in your practice space, or when power is easily accessible at the venue. Alternatively, you can use a 9V battery to be free from extra cables or when power outlets aren't accessible.

I'd say go for it... many of the more well known drive pedals are multiple hundreds, sometimes into the thousands... for 14.99 I don't think you can go wrong.

The DC power is between the pots on top! Never seen this before. Seems very awkward.

I have the 'mini' distortion that monoprice sold a few years ago- it's a bit of fun for the price but alongside even $30-40 pedals it's 'thin' sounding with a high noise floor. I'd recommend a used Boss DS-1 (which is still kind of shit) simply because it does a better job managing noise.

That's the LED. The power is at the rear of the pedal like normal. The labeling just makes it a little confusing.

This isn't a drive pedal per se, it's a distortion pedal. Put it after any overdrive pedals you have in your signal chain.

Most of the well-known distortion pedals are under $100. And under that if you buy used. Nowadays there are tons of Chinese knockoffs to be had for cheap. I'd recommend getting a Rat clone. They sound identical to the real thing and are in the $20-$30.

I recently took out an old Monoprice guitar pedal after stopped playing for awhile. It no longer works... I have to find a way to dispose it now. Stay away from these pedals. They are garbage.
