NOT for solid state

The people who are reviewing this and saying it is worthless are totally missing the purpose: To boost the gain going into the pre-amp of a tube amplifier. Running it into a digital distortion pedal into a solid state amp is pointless.

How did Tony Iommi get his sound in Black Sabbath? Running a booster into the front end of a tube amp. NOT a distortion.

Built great, but too sensitive

Reviewer's Play Style: everything but classical

Needed a simple clean boost that didn't color my sound, and it works well for that. Very well built - I don't think I could break it if I tried. That said, I'm about to get rid of it. The volume knob gets 10X louder if I move it just a hair past where I set it (usually 9 o'clock). Considering it's close proximity to the switch, it's likely to get a nudge. I've had way too many surprises on stage because of that. Also, if you place this after your distortion pedals you will find that the amount of boost varies greatly depending on what comes before it. Some will say that it should be placed before distortion, but highly compressed distortion pedals will cancel out a boost that comes before it. Sounds great, built well, but too unpredictable for me.

SO OVERATED

bought this pedal cause i needed a boost. i have multiple overdrive and distortion pedals and no matter where i put this pedal on my board it sounded HORRIBLE with distortion, and it didnt even give me that much of a boost. the only time i could get a fat boost was when i was playin super clean stuff and then still it just seemed like a bass boost. i could never see anyone using this pedal for anything.
