That being the case the Klon and SD-1 models are pretty close, but I still prefer the originals when I A/B (If I didn't actually have them I wouldn't care and would use the GT)
Where it shines IMO is the DS-1X and SD-1X models which use the MDP multi band technology and sound massive and quite unlike anything else. Awesome for dropped tunings, complex chords with distortion, etc.
But I've never got on with the tones. It all sounds a bit harsh to me.
The MDP stuff is good though.
I happen to be a fan of the HX drives. Others disagree. But I really rate a bunch of them - klon, Timmy, Rat, Red Llama, SD-1, King of Tone and the 'Walled Bunny' overdrive are all good. Not quite got on with the DS-1 though, though that's true of the real thing as well.
A HX FX allows for stacking (the Legacy Tube Comp makes everything sound beefier) but also parallel processing too. So you can have a ICBM fuzz and a Dod250 mixed in parallel with each other, and just add mods or verb to the overdrive side, for example, or else mix a Timmy and a Klon to taste that goes wat beyond just stacking them. Some huge sounds in there.
All the same inside, can load the sounds from all of them. And it will do parallel then summed, series (stacked), or true stereo.
Load up the tones and mix a TS with a Bass fuzz if you want.
Doesn't matter which model you buy so just look for a deal on the cheapest!

I do have a question that the manual doesn't answer. If I program a setting of say the Scream drive with level at 100 and drive at 0 with Bass 12, Mids 20 and treble 0 , save it and come back to in later having forgotten what settings I gave it how do I see what those settings were? Is it not possible to view saved parameters at all ? ( The boost pre and post gain and Gate settings are shown as you scroll though)
In comparison, I have a GFS Skylar. Whenever you modify a parameter it shows the new and previous value. Makes it much easier to make small tweaks.
Anyway, the OD200 could be different from the delay, so I could be talking crap.
