The Sharpshooter:
VFE Distortion
3
The VFE Distortion3, in true VFE
fashion, is a deconstruction of the
DOD 250-MXR Distortion+-MXR
Micro Amp nexus. By providing access
to the different factors that distinguish
these pedals, the Distortion3 allows
you to emulate them or blend them
to fantastic effect. Of course, players
can dial in the stock 250 tone but
can also tweak the circuit as they
see fit. Players can roll in more low
end, expand the top end, adjust the
compression for full-on, blown-out
distortion or, conversely, to tighten
up the tone for a more muscular lowgain drive, and they can tweak the
clipping and distortion characteristics,
allowing for hairier or smoother tones.
All of this is accomplished by blending
in different elements of the three
pedals, which is perfect for those who
have their own ideas about how the
DOD 250—as good as it is—can work
better in their own rigs. It may seem
like a lot of knobs, but I used every
one of ‘em—subtly—to dial in my
dream 250 tone.
