Harmony Central Reviews
of the DR Single

Destination Rotation Single
Winner of a July, 2007 Guitar Player Magazine Editors' Pick Award!
Read the Guitar Player Magazine Review.

Have you ever wanted the Vibratone® or Leslie® 16/120 sound out of something that weighs less than 2 pounds? Here it is! I am confident when I tell you that the new Destination Rotation Single comes the closest to sounding like a mic'd up, single rotating speaker cabinet than any other effect available. The masses agree, I have been swamped with orders and fully satisfied customers thus far!

Here are the features, all based on practicality and customer suggestion:

  • Smooth overdrive feature with footswitch and level trimmer.
  • Top mounted trimmers for slow and fast speed tweaking.
  • Microphone placement control for effect depth.
  • Realistic speed up/down ramping effect.
  • Standard 9 volt wallwart operation.
  • Low profile box (Voodoo Lab size)
  • True Bypass.
The DR Single is 100% analog and low noise. The doppler effect is tight and the phasing characteristics are liquid sounding. More points to boast upon is that to my knowledge, this is the smallest and now least expensive boutique Leslie® simulator on the market. Do not let the low price fool you though! The DR Single is 100% hand-built and thouroughly tested before it leaves my hands. It is built like a tank with high quality components, all lead free soldered to a carefully designed and super-solid, double sided, plate-through PC board that is also lead free. All that is housed in a die-cast aluminum box that will not rust or fall apart. As with all Option 5 products, the DR Single is built to last!

DOII Sound and Video Clips


Destination Overdrive II

Building off of the foundations of the original Destination Overdrive sensation, The Destination Overdrive II contains the same wonderful, harmonically pleasing tones as the original.

The DOII has improved features based on customer suggestions:

  • Improved bass response.
  • Improved gain control with more range.
  • Standard 9 volt wallwart operation.
  • True Bypass

This has to be, by far, the best damn tube preamp sounding, solid state overdrive pedal ever created. Smooth, tight and responsive are words that come to mind. This is not another "Screamer" clone. This pedal will basically add another channel to your amp with all the features such as a classic tone 'stack' configuration for shaping your sound. It is able to sound like a barely broken up blues tone or with the twist of a few knobs, it will rip your head off with searing, scooped mids heavy metal. This is one pedal that has a range that is actually usable, throughout. I have designed it that way. The bass is never farty. Performing a 'dive bomb' will not make it choke. Roll your volume knob back on your guitar and actually reduce your gain. Picking dynamics and note separation are unbelievable. And, oh yeah, it's low noise too!

Destination Phase Sound and Video Clips


Destination Phase   Stereo Phase Shifter

The Destination Phase was created to be a sonic replica of a 'Small Stone meets Phase 90' When I say sonic replica, I mean just that. The circuitry inside is nowhere near the same. To start, the Destination Phase is quiet... forget hissing and popping on the Destination Phase!

The Destination Phase sports 'non-tone-sucking bypass' and it uses light dependant resistors so there is no annoying distortion on the peaks as with most phaser pedals. All analog circuitry makes it smooth, swirly and warm.

Another cool feature is the 'Depth' control. It is just like a having a level control for the amount of phase mixed into the original signal. The depth control works extremely well and when it is turned fully counter-clockwise, there is no audible difference between effect and bypass. Of course, crank it all the way up and you get gooey, swirlalicious phasing!

Think that is enough cool stuff? I am not finished yet! The 'Speed' control allows this phaser to sweep way slower than other phasers will; this works great in stereo for a super cool doubling/panning effect. The LED pulses in time with the effect. It is powered by either battery or the supplied, standard 9 volt wallwart.
