Question:
Hello, I was thinking about buying a Digitech Grunge pedal, but i don't know a lot about them. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how well these work for live performances and how well they work with a mixer.
Answer:
From what I have heard the mixer out reaks, and if you want the grunge, go to ebay and find a DOD one. From what I know, the DOD grunge (I tihnk digitech used to be DOD) is alot better than the digitech one

To answer your questions:
It works, and it mixes. But I really suggest not getting it.
Answer:
It beats the DS-1, in my opinion. Some may argue that they are different "styles" of distortion...but still, its better than the DS-1 (according to some that isnt saying much, myself included). I was close to getting it once, I played it a lot and it gave a really beefy sound...it worked well with double humbuckers.
In all, if you're lookin at the $30-$45 range for distortions, this is probably one of the better ones. Then again, 30 to 45 bucks wont get you much anyways. If you really want a good distortion, i'd go amp.
Answer:
Ds-1 can be an awesome pedal if you know how to mod it. aka the keeley mod.
Answer:
okay thanks everyone. I don't think I'll get one.
Answer:
smart choice

I know a few people who can EQ their amp right to make a DS-1 have the sound they're looking for. That said, unless you want a really dirty, bassy sound, I'd steer clear from the DS-1.
Answer:
You should never run an electric guitar straight into a mixer unless you have absolutely no choice. Mic'ing an amp is almost always a better option.

but most of the digitechs are supposed to have this mixer out with cab modeling, which I heard reaks hard.
