Anybody a/b-ed these three pedals ?

OKKO Diablo. they say its good for medium gain.

OKKO Diablo Gain+ This version features an extra gain control and an extra footswitch to select between two different gain settings.

OKKO TwinSonic. This is a pedal for guitar players who prefer lower gain, Fender or Dumble-style sounds. Like the Diablo Boost+, the TwinSonic features seperate overdrive and clean boost sections, each with their own independent level controls and footswitches. You can either use the boost to achieve a louder clean solo or rhythm sound (if your amp is set clean) - or you can use it to push vintage tube amps that are set on the verge of break-up into saturation. Additionally, you can kick in overdrive section (which produces the most saturation), or use it by itself. The TwinSonic also features a unique Vox-like Cut control to reduce high end.

I run my strat through a DRRI ..... and i was wondering if the diablo plus can actually do what the twin does .... it's hard to play them here in Germany (although they're made in Germany) because they don't sell them in shops .

Greg Hilden is a huge fan of the Okko Diablo stompboxes, I've seen tons of videos from him showing the Diablo Plus in action.

The Okko Diablo and the Okko Diablo Gain+ are essentially the same pedal. The Gain+ just has an extra foot switch that let's you instantly get the same effect as turning the gain knob all the way up. It's sort of like having a preset. A convenience, but it does not give you any sounds that the regular Diablo model doesn't give you.

I own the Diablo model. It's a great pedal, but IMHO it's way over-priced at $275 (last time I checked). I too got sucked in by the Gregor Hilden videos. Not matter what I do, I can't dial in anything close to the tone he gets.
