The video is a review of two overdrive pedals from AliExpress, the Demon Effects YJM308 and the Lilt Dodd 250 Plus. The reviewer, Elmo Jay Caroline, is comparing these two pedals to the original Dodd 250, which they claim to clone. The YJM308 costs just over 24 euros, while the Lilt Dodd 250 Plus is priced at just over 84 euros.
The reviewer plays a Fender Inglewood Malmsteen Strat with Seymour Duncan YJ and Fury pickups, a Marshall Plexi type thing, and a Marshall AHW cab. The sound is described as noisy, but the reviewer doesn't seem to mind.
The reviewer first tests the pedals in a clean boost mode, with the gain all the way down and the level all the way up. The Lilt Dodd 250 Plus is described as the noisiest of the bunch, but the reviewer reserves judgment until the pedals are fully engaged.
The reviewer then tests the pedals in a more aggressive setting, and the Lilt Dodd 250 Plus is described as a bit hotter and brighter than the original Dodd 250. The reviewer concludes that the choice between the two pedals comes down to personal preference.
The reviewer expresses concerns about the build quality of the Lilt Dodd 250 Plus, suggesting that it might be handmade in China with cheap parts. The reviewer also expresses doubts about the reliability of the Demon Effects YJM308, suggesting that it might break down fairly soon due to its cheap parts.
The reviewer concludes by recommending JHS's pedal, which replicates the old Dodd 250, and encourages viewers to support the channel through Patreon or by purchasing items via the affiliate links in the video description.
