It's an analog distortion, need I say more than other opinions? The case is metal, it's a good point. It seems solid.
UTILIZATION
No need for manual is very simple. Opening the case for the battery is still pretty painful. For my part, I use an external power supply, but it must be irritating if it works fast with battery.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is very fair, good one should not compare a high-end distortion under penalty of taking a slap, but the price is not the same either. The sound is quickly being aggressive from the treble up, especially with the release amp and it sounds quite "transistors". Moreover, there is often a small nasal side bothers me a bit. It must come from top psychics. It is less present on the output emulated. As the interest for me is the emulation, you can cheat by plugging a pedal that sounds true, then the Digitech (without activating), which allows the use of emulation and just in this case, one can have sounds convincing by plugging directly into a sound system, a keyboard amp, etc..
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several weeks. I have several distortion and overdrive that sound much better because the sound is not the strong point of this pedal. However, digitech interested in that it provides an emulated output, rather convincing. That's all the interest in the use I have. In one group in which I participate, I use a very slight distortion on two songs with an acoustic guitar. No more. It's annoying in this case to bring an amp. Get Connected then direct the sound. Then the whole point of the Digitech offers a more than adequate in this case. Note that you can use this pedal emulation as independent, since when the effect is muted, the emulation still works. One can for example play with another couple and distortion below the Hot Head to chase the bad bees. The idea of emulation is excellent and I do not understand that it is more common, especially on the Boss pedals that emulate Fender amps. But obviously at Boss, designers are not guitarists.
