It is a distortion in the typical retro design in Danelectro
rare on this type of pedal, an EQ with 3 knobs: low, mid, high.
small space between each knob, great attention to the fingers.
runs on 9v battery or external power supply.

UTILIZATION

To adjust the distortion is made as usual on this kind of machine: you turn the gain and output volume.
of the 3 eq knobs are happy to be there and are really something, there are several possible settings for different sounds.
I did not have a manual with, there was no need. the switch holds the road, but getting tired, it is not as robust as in Marshall or Electro Harmonix. The knobs are not easy super close, but it's not very serious.
Guitar pedal, very good results on bass and various synth sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

Old school! The sound is super nice. Anyone who likes REM, Suede, Oasis, Blur will love. There is a side "grainy" and strident in the curve of this distortion, like on some of Mr. Kravitz riffs and Black Sabbath! A bit like when you plug an MXR distortion in a Marshall head. All background, it recalls the Ramones ...
The sound is very particular, and must not be abused. Personal I use just the beginning of the song to start a riff, or in another song that I will turn to a solo. For the price (about 60 th in okaz) was something very different from the Boss and the opposite of all things digital.
Bof with a guitar sound will be ok, but with a guitar that sends the sauce, it will send the cinderblock!

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years. I came across it completely by chance, a friend I had spun. Quality / price ratio ok, the box is solid but the knobs and switches are not super strong. The price / sound quality is at the top.
Some will laugh but I predict that this pedal will be collector's item in recent years.
In the immediate future I recommend that the punks are the Boss too normal and brit-poppers who can not find their sound with their Pod xt.
