Rating: 
This is and will continue to be an intergral part of my guitar sound. id buy another one the next day if it were stolen. give it a try. its quite the heck of a pedal, but you wont know if its fit for you until you try it. |

Features:
This thing is loaded. it has overdrive or distortion selection modes, depending on your sound or mood. its also got gain, volume, treble and bass. then it throws in marshall's contour knob, with level and frequency selection. you can spend hours tweakin it. |
|
Sound Quality:
I run it through a blue voodoo and 2 4x12's with an epi les paul, but ive also played it on a marshall 30w practice amp. the jackhammers sound is amazing. you can reproduce about an distorion sound you can concieve. light, hard, thin, saturated, mega saturated, super dark or heavy, tubelike, fuzzy....the list goes on. if you cant tweak this thing to sound what you want it to, then i gotta hear what the heck your playing. it blows away all the other pedals i tried: smashbox, supra distortion, big muff, jekyll and hyde. this is top notch. i play metalish rapcore rock, and i get a great variety of sounds from this unit. there is some feedback at higher gains (just like anything else), but can be easily remedied with a noise gate/suppressor. it has a great bypass mode and seems to rock better in front of my setup, not in the effects loop. but you gotta find out for youself. |
|
Ease of Use:
Granted it is a bit more difficult to use because of the extra knobs and controls, but if you can use a toaster then you can figure out how to use this. |
|
Durability:
Its built like a mac truck on steriods. its die cast and heavy....ha....heavy metal. |
