Note: I don't like heavily distorted but this pedal is VERY heavy on the distortion... stock. IF, however, you are willing to swap the 12AX7 out for a 5751 (what I normally use) or a 12AY7 (this sounds good as well, just a different good), it becomes much better than just usable. I use it for guitar in places where I can't fire up my tube amp (home when the wife is trying to sleep, for example) and for harmonica when feeding a sound system. I do wish it had different low/mid/high controls for the two different channels, but accept that with customization, this is closer to what I wanted in an overdrive pedal than the starved tube options. With either the 5751 or the 12AY7, it sounds great for blues or more mellow rock. Stock with a 12AX7, it probably would appeal to metal heads or grunge, but is unplayable even at minimum gain on the first channel for what I like to do. That said, it only loses one star because of the difficulty swapping the tube (the board it plugs into is NOT well secured and GREAT care is needed to keep from damaging it).Read full review

Sounds very dark and thick. Great for metals players. Not so great if your looking for something transparent. Overall very not bad, but it depends on what your looking for. It would also be nice if you could toggle between clean and crunch via a footswitch.

This is one heavy effects unit. I am totally impressed. Most likely would have cost more anywhere else. This model did not have any wear marks, foot scratches, any usage markings, or any cosmetic markings or anything on it. Looks totally new. Awesome.

Outstanding as a di with tube gain to go right into the board! Nice overdrive on its own. The clean adds good enough warmth and gives a great foundation for further effect. Really pleased with the pedal!

A+++ I love this pedal! It has defined my live tone! Versatile. Powerful. Awesome! This pedal is in front of my Blackstar Series One 100 clean channel, and I have exactly the metal distortion I am looking for. Thank you!
