Weeks ago, I ordered a DOD Boneshaker on blowout. It finally showed up today.
When the Boneshaker came out a couple of years ago, it was marketed as a standalone distortion. All the demos were super high gain and tuned down, and it sounded awesome. While you can certainly use it for that, it's niche is as a highly tweakable dirty boost.
In the 5 minutes I've had to play with it, here's the deal. It's a DOD 250 with extra gain, a pre-gain bass control (depth) and a 3 band semi-parametric EQ that sits between gain stages.
On first listen, it sounds fantastic with my Pickle Drive. I need to work it out with the RAT. The combo has lots of potential but apartment levels aren't exactly the place to work it out. It does not like the MI Audio Tube Zone at all, but that's to be expected. The TZ has way too much gain to pair well with a dirty boost and the DOD never gets really clean unless you back off on the guitar volume.
In summation, if you like the DOD 250 or even the Timmy, and you want more gain and more control over the EQ, this poorly named pedal is for you.
