This feature enhanced the pedal’s durability, but otherwise its construction was average, with a lightweight cast-metal case, easy-popping plastic battery-access button, and too-tiny slide switches for the mode and attack functions. Feature-wise, the PD7 is quite rich. Via the mode switch, it offers a clean boost, a warmer overdrive sound, and buzzier distortion sound. In either setting, the PD7’s distortion is of the furry, restrained variety, but the two attack settings contribute extra high-end overtones that lace the fur with a sizzly top end. It’s an excellent pedal for clacky metal tones, as well as lightly smudged blues sounds.
