Best value: Excellent
This is classic boost that works with a 12AX7.
3 knobs: a boost, a treble and a bass.
This is strong both in room and on stage (the pedal must weigh at least 500grammes).
However attention to configs that you will put in place because the knobs can move when the pressure started.

Nice side power is supplied in the box with ... this is not the case everywhere.

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple. Personally I use in chaining directly out of my effects and / or multi-effects to pass over solo, especially on stage.
In this case 'Hat because it can take your sound to 15db more without spoiling it.

For use on stage, I recommend you do a balance from others to keep in mind the sound that comes in front. Also memorize the landmarks of the pots well as a kick unwelcome and you blow the house down and the balance!! Caution is sensitive.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds vary by use and placement of your belongings.
Live can go up to the crunch with a big attack.

Perfect for rock and highlighting of important ways on stage.

However he slammed so hard that it is better to be away from the amp to the risk of the feedback and especially on small stages.

Used with a VOX ToneLab LE chain end directly into a Valvestate 80, it is amazing especially in high gain stage. No problems with any type of guitar (Gibson, Fender Strat and Tele).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall if I had to redo it is a choice that I do it again without hesitation.
The sound is clean and powerful and faithfully reproduces the ffects added before him.
The gear is top quality .. this is the Blackstar!
Good value for money and this effect is more adaptable to any style even if you feel that rock is more dommaine his expression, I use it in variety and dance and it is often the difference especially in large formations.

In short a great boost and certainly one of the best in its class from my point of view.
