I love this pedal. I own a Peavey 5150, with only 2 channels..... So this pedal gives me the option to have Clean, Rhythm, and Lead. The overdrive is so clear, virtually no humming or fuzz when pedal is engaged. I highly recommend this pedal for players who are looking for that added channel, for those riffs that you dont want to be "that" pretty.

This pedal gives a well balanced OD with plenty of gain. Smooth but still chunky. This pedal dosent cut bass or boost mids as much as other pedals. The result it a great OD even at lower volumes. Tone control covers alot of ground. Think Offspring tone, and youve got this pedal! If you are a kid rocking out, this ones for you.

Nice Ooh sound

This pedal has a very nice "ooh" sound right out of the box: very Santana-like. Turn up the highs though, and you get a more natural sounding overdrive that's not harsh on the high end. I'd rather own a BD-2, but still, this is an excellent pedal, and probably would be more versatile if I had tried it longer. I tried it in the store using a Schecter C-1 Classic and a Fender Pro Junior.

Reviewer's Background: active in church worship
Reviewer's Play Style: blues, soft and mild rock. Like hillsong united
features get a 4 because this pedal only has three knobs for changing its tone. quality get a 4.5 because I would buy anotherone if the one i have now was stolen value get a 4.5 because it is tough and it gives a good over all tone

overall gets a 4.5 because; this pedal is very versitile. left by itself not quite a metal pedal but will do good in worship, blues, classic rock (.38 special, boston) if i want a heavy metal distortion I use it with the boss mt2 and it brightens the lows. I would rather use the mt2 alone with this pedal than have to bbuy a mesa rectifier.
