Picked up a TDS-1 Distortion and a TPH-1 Phaser last week. They are surprisingly good! I never tested the Tokai pedals in the 80's except for an analog delay I bought (and unfortunately traded for a digital multi FX unit). I've also bought a TMD-2 Metaldriver and a TOD-2 Overdrive that I will receive any day now. I will get back with a report on how they sound. Apparently the Metaldriver uses the same OP amp (4558) as the legendary Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer! However, it's capable of more varied sounds than the Tube Screamer. The newer boxes are made of plastic but the first series are all metal and are really well built.
