Hmmm, I like the sound of it, and I bet it would sound great stacked with my Westwood. Right now I've got the Pigtronix Bass Fat Drive for my heavier gain stage, but I could see replacing that with this....

Earthquaker PLUMES!

No - it’s part of the MXR distortion+/DOD 250 family as far as I have heard.
Ahhhh yip, cool- makes sense.
I thought the PLUMES sounded really really good in that demo.

it has a couple of similarities but it's not really that close. IMO, a TS is just as similar to an OCD but also almost as different.
goddamnit how many dirt pedals does one person really need?
evidently "just one more, honey, I swear this is different than the other six...."

I know, brother: I'm sitting with a tubey OD, a clanky OD, my Rumble's own OD channel, and now the potential to use the Accountant as a slightly different tubey OD pushed by a 2nd compressor. Oh and still trying to decide on fuzz, again. Dammit.
I bet it would sound great with the Westwood. I'm also gonna go the complete opposite way and say it might rock with a bright clanky distortion as well, even though it's not lacking highend itself. It sounds full and bright.
Has anyone tried it or bought it yet ?
What's your impression ?

The Dunwich Bass Overdriver is based on a TS, but I've never heard any TS pedal that sounded as amazing as the Dunwich.
I just got my hands on this dirty little green gremlin, and I'll say this, out of the box it's ticking all the boxes for me.
So far my favorite setting is using the silicon diode (toggle all the way to right) with the gain up about halfway, tone set at about 9 o'clock. If dialed in properly this thing loses no low end. I'm running it after a Phat Phuk B and a Barbershop, and running it this way I can get this pedal into fuzz territory.
I've also been messing around with modulation running after it, using a Maxon PT9 Pro+, which sounds pretty gnarly (that is if you're into heavy phase shifting). With the toggle in the middle (no diodes) you get a nice boost with a little bit of hair. Overall I'm pretty stoked about this new addition to my growing pile of pedals. For the price it really is a no brainer.

Thanks for the update, i think it's going to be under the Chistmas tree this year, maybe sooner...
Just picked this up.

Making some nice sounds so far. My rig and most of my stuff is in a practice room, so using it with my practice set-up and playing around with some other pedals I have at he house.
Liking the #1 setting so far.
