the gunslinger is pretty awesome. I've only gotten to play with it for a few minutes, but I set the gain at about 1 o'clock and it is a really good dirt pedal for me. I won't be getting much playing time in the next couple of weeks, so I am little bummed. I still haven't unboxed the Trio.

Three new pedals in the same week! Is that a new personal best?

Maybe. I’ve loss track
I will say that I’ve spent more on one pedal than I did on these 3 combined.

Just shipped out the MI Audio Tube Zone. It was bought minutes after I listed it on Reverb. The Gunslinger now holds the high gain slot on my board. That's pretty crazy for a $30 pedal.

Mine came in and I've played it some and I think it serves my purpose perfectly. Maybe best suited for higher gain than I usually play with but with some tweaking I think I'm getting a suitable "classic rock" range. So I don't have to buy a new amp or spend money on this one. Pretty fantastic $30 experiment.

I’m digging mine. At about 1
0 to 20 on the gain is the perfect “high gain” for me. I don’t need any more than that. If I put it there and roll back the volume on my Tele a little, it gives me some good “classic rock” sounds.

I'm finding that I like it best right around 10
0 o'clock and as high as 12. The 20 range is higher than I usually play but sounded fantastic. I'm also finding that I have to roll way back on the volume to get much of a change in the gain level but it doesn't change the volume as much as it would if I had no pedal. I had the tone knobs at around noon and it was pretty good but I liked it better when I added a little more on the low side. Looking forward to playing some more, especially with the tone knobs.

I wish I could turn up. But I can't and the Gunslinger sounds like moist ass at 10 o'clock on the dial at bedroom levels. So I'm glad you like it at lower settings than I do. It means volume makes it even better.

Yeah, I play in a bedroom but I'm able to play as loud as I want and volume makes a difference. My house is on a corner lot and the room is on the street side so no one anywhere near that corner of the house so I don't play at ear bleeding levels but I let it fly a bit. I haven't tried turning the gain way down and the level up to see if it acts more like a boost yet. Might try that later. Either way, the dirty tone I'm finding to be a good match with the amp and it sounds "real" if that makes any sense.

That "real" part is the mosfet. I've become a big fan of JFETs, MOSFETs, and LEDs as clipping stages.

Just got mine last night, haven't had a chance to plug it in yet. MOSFET is the way to go, it's my favorite boost/OD circuit type.

Tom Cram, the DOD/Digitech rep on TGP says the pedal opens up at 12v. He doesn't recommend 18v because some power supplies send a burst when they power up and they can fry the pedal. So even though it will accept 18v, he recommends 12v.

Good to know. I probably have an old 12V wall wart in my junk bucket. Maybe I'll wire up a Boss style connector and check it out.

Come on man, I learned how to sneak my gifts early when I was like 5 or 6, surely you can pull it off
