Going by the 'filter' knob, this pedal appears to be a ProCo RAT clone. And being the most distinctly known (if not the only known) "vintage era" high gain dirt pedal during that time, it couldn't be more obvious that this truly was an attempt to copy the RAT pedal going eventually by the toggle switch which features the 'Solo.R', 'Turbo.R' & 'Normal.R' modes. This is mainly because ProCo themselves had, over the course of several decades, subsequently released their own 'Turbo RAT' & 'Solo RAT' pedals as a follow-up to their original issue.
However, it appears that the toggle switch is nothing but a volume boost controller thus to give extra decibels on the following: Turbo (approx. +20db), Solo (approx. +10db). That said, the 'D-11' still holds its own character that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the original RAT pedal in stage performance situations.
Hence, for this demo, I've mainly played on the 'normal' mode of the pedal & hardly touched the turbo & as well as the 'solo' modes. My only "complain" about the pedal is that, rather than a mere toggle switch, Dolamo should've swapped or added an external pedal jack to also control switching in between modes by foot during live performances.
For direct monitoring from the 'cube baby', I'm using an ATH-M20X headphones by Audio Technica. However, a parallel out also directly coming from the 'cube baby' itself goes to the audio input of my phone, which is just an old Samsung J6+ unit. And, upon transferring the 'ATH' into the 'J6' for previewing, there really isn't much variance at all. BUT, soon as I've watched the file/video from my desktop, which drives a pair of Bose Companion 2 Series II monitors, the discrepancies in audio quality is fairly large. Apparently, the 'ATH' trumps the 'companions' this time around, though.
Hence, quite likely, the tone you'll be hearing from your end may not give justice to how i've heard the pedal when i had it tested through my own system.
