Yup!

Yan ang fave dirt pedal ko. Works great with bright single coils. Konting eq adjustment lang. Maganda yun range ng frequency ng mga eq.

Disclaimer: Hindi talaga ako mahilig sa dirt pedals kasi mas gusto ko amp distortion, I find the non-tube stuff too stiff for expressive playing. Pero yan lang ang dynamic enough for IMHO for a  non-boutique brand. Well that and the tc dark matter. I only use it so I can use dirt before my delays kasi I never use the fx loop sa amps. Too much cables for me.

if it's the red one (custom badass) no because it's already bright sounding. if it's the silver one (super badass) yes. it has thick mids and a 3 band EQ so you have options. ano ba genre?

it used to be my fave distortion pedal and I've owned a number of them. and the shameless plug... i'm selling mine!  :-D

jgmredor answered it all!

but based on my experience with 78 dist, it was too bright. Not for my taste. I like stuff that are dark sounding. :-D

Genre? Instrumental rock may cover kasi ako yung awake intervals. Pero kaya ba i dream t. Yung tone nya? Kasi yung review sa bax music sa youtube super high gain nag alternate pick pa sya eh. Hindi lang ako sure kung ok tunog nya sa strat na maple neck. Baka super bright na.  :-(

I have the 78.  It pairs well with a TS9 when stacked and plugged through an amp with nasal, bassy tones.  BTW, that pedal set-up is running through a Friedman Runt right now.

I have the Super Badass Distortion (silver) and I'm a strat user (noiseless pup set)... I love this pedal very thick hehehe mostly used with mooer hustle drive.

here's a little demo I recorded with my mobile phone sitting on top of the amp (Laney Cub12r).

Gear (all stock):
Fender Deluxe Player's Strat -> Super Badass Distortion -> Laney Cub12r

disclaimer: I'm not really a guitarist I'm a hobby guitar guy who maybe plays 2-3 hours a week if lucky... sooo expect crappy playing  :-D
