Quite surprising
I tested some other Ministomp pedals (fuzz) and they were rather mediocre. But this one is outstanding! A really great overdrive, and very versatile too - thx to the voice control, you can use it on a clean or overdriven amp with equally great tones. I only have one small grief with it: no visible markers on the pots, so you can't see your settings - I'll add some white tippex markers.

Dark sounding and a lot of gain
I bought this in hopes that it would give me a subtle overdrive so that I can color the tone without adding much of an actual overdrive where it is not needed. This pedal has A LOT of gain. A lot more than I expected, even at minimum gain.
The sound itself is pretty good and usable if you like high gain stuff. I can't comment if it sounds like an actual Dumble, having never played one myself, but I do have some Dumble emulating pedals. This one has a different character than for example NUX Steel Singer which I do think is a little bit better than this one, because of the overdrive range.
The sound is also very bass heavy and quite dark. I am playing mostly strats with Vintage pickups and even those sound quite dark and give me TONS of bass with this pedal. If you tame it with an EQ, and work with the volume knobs on the guitar, this one can deliver some good tones.
I hate the phrase, but for the money it is fine.

Great pedal
I use od in three scenarios: adding small amount of dirty to clean channel to play arpeggios, increasing od to play smooth lines, and boosting the dirty channel to get metal tones. This one nails all of them. It is well made. I also liked the box, it has magnets to keep it close, well done HB!
Don't wait until jhs makes video about it, got it while it's cheap...

Ready steady go.
This pedal looks to go from nothing nothing nothing to fabulous. There isn't much as you start to turn the knobs and then all of a sudden you're into an amazing overdrive tones. Excellent value for money, but could give a little more as you begin to turn the dials. This pedal will stay on my board, mainly as an always on drive. It has some lovely warmth but can also max out to some fab pushed aggression, especially with humbuckers.

Howard Dumble in the house!
Another gem from Harley Benton's MiniStomp series. Compact as it can be, the Dr. D gives you a bunch of sweet overdrives, much like the legendary high-end boutique amps. But then... for 20 bucks!
Sturdy box with a beautiful finish and low amperage consumption (which is wonderful if you're a Daisy chain kind of guitarist).
Pro tip: Great tones are right around the corner once you plug in a nice reverb afterwards...

Ok pedal, unique sound
Sounds really "dark/deep", as if there's some sort of reverb or octaver included in the tone it produces, but all in all its a good overdrive especially considering the non existent price tag. But keep in mind that it doesn't sound like your average overdrive pedal because it produces a very unique "dark" sound
