So nothing to add features, it is a distortion (analog) legend or testing youtube for novices, we understand right away what it is.

I put 8 for features:
- I love this pedal format, with the connectors on top, on an ideal type Pedaltrain Pedalboard for the cables without taking up too much space;
- Quality (housing, knobs "sensation bath oil" components) is there;
- The look is great, or at least unique.

3'5 jack for power supply is a false problem, you just think to take a visual sound adapter when ordering. This jack disconnects less easily than a standard Boss, less risk of false contact me I prefer.

UTILIZATION

True bypass, very reactive knobs, everything is very traditional but very well done.
She did what we asked, we can find a good sound, it is essential, so I put 7.

SOUND QUALITY

I play in the style Blues / Funk / Rock / PopRock.

I use it with moderate gain enough (say around 9 am-9.30), the Tone at the whim of the moment, and the volume adjusted to maintain an almost constant sound level that is selected or not. And I like the booster with an overdrive pedal, it gives another dimension, richer, more gain, more harmonics.

For rhythm I confess with my Stratocaster, I do not like the sound, say it is not my "style", too rough and acute, but I understand that some like.

For the solos: in this record that I love, it's sublime instrument, very expressive, we feel we can do anything with. The single-string guitar (wah) - (OD)-RAT-delay-amp (clean) allows all the solos from the classic Rock 80 '.

It is also the sound-M-(Machistador, I say love) for fans like me!

Not long ago, I stuck to him the famous chip LM308. I must say that I prefer, I think its a little more organic, less right, less typical modern, more expressive. I'm easily blues when it was not too much the case before the change. I think in a more wicked rock / metal, we prefer to keep the original chip, a matter of taste.

I met (only) 7 because I like the sound less rhythmic, and I find the perfect lead sound ... after changing the original chip.

OVERALL OPINION

It works well with everything (all the sounds of my strat VG, with a wah with an overdrive on a clean amp as saturated, etc., etc.). I do not think the sound is "versatile" is especially assemblies that can be done with other effects pedals that make it versatile in my opinion.

I love the setup, the look, sound solo, quality manufacturing, the legend (!) And adaptability (I prefer the term "flexibility" for the move).

So I give it 7 in a good overall because it is not perfect either.

And she is not too expensive compared to competition, demand that the people? Good stuff
