Yamaha Distortion DI-01
The Yamaha DI-01 Distortion pedal uses a two-band EQ to shape the distorted tone, with separate controls for low and high frequencies that adjust the bass and treble content of the effected signal. A Drive knob sets the amount of gain, ranging from mild overdrive to heavier distortion, while a Master Volume control determines the overall output level. The pedal's effect circuit is engaged or bypassed via a footswitch, and an LED indicates when the effect is active. It operates on a standard 9-volt battery or an optional AC adapter, with input and output jacks for mono connection.

User Reviews of the Yamaha Distortion DI-01
- Submitted by Phil from London (148 points) on Dec 29, 2010
- This seems to fall somewhere between an overdrive and a distortion. Quite dark and full sounding, not compressed like, say, a Boss distortion. Quite open and thick along the lines of a RAT perhaps, but not as versatile and with a lower output. Still pretty useful for noise but probably not as your only distortion.
- Good Points: Cheap, built like a tank, doesn't sound like much else, useful dark tone and fairly strong output.
- Bad Points: Seems to battery only unless I'm missing something obvious. Mine seems to have a plastic blanking panel where the power socket would logically be, so maybe mine has been "adapted" by a previous owner.
