Pedal Preamp / Disto / EQ / DI analog - a real swiss knife - my first purchase in the pedals
Only drawback - lack of switch "mute" - shame ...
Very sturdy, except battery cover plastic !!!!! - Already broken on mine ... unfortunate because the pedal actually consumes little - and here I trembale with transformer ...

So 7

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use
We arrive to find her quickly

8 because when you turn the channel distortion, the switch "color" comes on automatically is impossible to remove, so it is no sound of our instrument - actually damage

SOUND QUALITY

Very good sound quality
- Canal "clean" switch with "color" digging mediums (not bad for the slap wild - not the sound of Mr. Miller - far more brutal) - I like and use
- Canal "distortion" nice overdrive (heats well with a small loss of precision in attack), nice moderate distortion, but in the extreme setting the sound becomes fuzzy (and not pretty - a kind of bee bzzz) . But whatever you do, the grain of this pedal is quite small - it does not give the sound of Tool and RATM. But the slap in the overdrive is pretty funny - the pedal adds a kind of "clang" metal fun. Great advantage: the ability to mix the clean sound with the sound distortion. That's how you get that to maintain the momentum of the sound (if you put a lot of distortion channel - greatly compressed the pedal - I do not like, but it depends on the style we play).
The fabulous thing - it is the "gate" - very effective, as it reacts to the volume of the incoming signal you come to have some kind of filter - very nice overdrive - more the rope is pulled high over the distortion appears in his tone (sound duller than treble) - I do not switch the channel "clean" even in soft passages.
- Very effective and musical EQ
- DI: well, it works (for sounds "clean" for the distortion is Bzzzz - I do not like), but I use the multi-band EQ pedal after sculpting the final sound.

10 because in this price range is a great product (TREX Bass Juice ago, but it is expensive)

OVERALL OPINION

I have for some time (2-3 years)
Overall, I am satisfied - I also Multidrive EBS (very good pedal but compresses the sound and no possibility to adjust the EQ - it grows serious when it is turned, it's painful).
like least: the grain (earlier inability to change - there is always the same).
I love the most: probably gate
With the experience I would invest in probably a good amp with 2 channels (clean and overdrive).
