I had purchased this pedal because of a recommendation from a friend. It's "ok". It has a bunch of volume that's for sure. I think the distortion part is thin and the pedal in general doesn't have any bottom end. I've been playing for over 40 years. I play through a Mesa Boogie Trans Atlantic or a vox and use many guitars, Wolfgang, Tele and Strat are my main guitars. It's a good pedal for variety sake if you have some to choose from. I am absolutely sold on the Xvive Classic Rock pedal. Bottom end is great! distortion is very tube like (considering I'm using a tube amp) it really turns that Mesa in to a force to be reckoned with. My 2 cents.
This pedal is exactly what MXR said it is: a pedal the faithfully reproduces late 70's hard rock crunch. Easy to get AC/DC-like crunch. BEAUTIFUL red finish. A bit lighter in terms of metal used for the pedal box but this shouldn't be an issue for anyone who respects their gear for the wonderful stuff that it is. Of course, accidents happen, but what kind of accident would dent or crush a metal box? Chalk something like that up to experience and get another one. If you like 70's Zep, BeBopDeluxe, AC/DC, and numerous chart-toppers from that era, you will love this pedal.

I bought mine used, works great. You can get an overdrive / distortion hard rock / blues to Classic Rock sound of Bad Company guitarist; Mick Ralph, the late Paul Kassoff of Free. Close to Whitesnake's former guitarist; John Sykes (recording only of Whitesnake self title album). Bottom / Low end heavy crunch. Want mid, adjust tones on amp / guitar, or leave the wah pedal in "on" position, foot pedal forward / down. Last resorts, EQ pedal. Through a Les Paul & Fender 4x10 amp. All depends on the guitarist's preference of sound engineering. Enjoy.

Great Marshall type distortion, quite versatile, it's an MXR so you know it's built well.

I absolutely love this pedal! A huge range from boost to overdrive to distortion. Not into the metal zones, but all rock and blues are possible here. Reasonably quiet for a high gain distortion pedal Works best with a tube amp/preamp
