"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
I have a DF-7 Distortion Factory, and I love it, but I recently got a tube amp (to replace my solid state) and I'm starting to wonder if the two overdrive models on the pedal are actually overdrives or if they are just meant to sound like what an overdrive would sound like through a tube amp. For instance, when I used it with my solid state amp, it would sound distorted. I was under the impression that overdrives are just supposed to boost the volume to overdrive the tubes, so I wouldn't have any distortion happening with the solid state. So the question is, are they real overdrives?
