Best value: Excellent
Clean boost pedal in and overdrive. Transparent overdrive amends little sound of the guitar. Often compar in Cochrane Timmy but obviously not to the same price.

USE

Setup is simple, a volume knob, a gain easy rgler. As against a single knob bass / treble not always easy to use. In fact you have to turn the base of the button to bass, and after turning up the treble button. An entrance, an exit, a normal start button what. Bypass works, has used too. English manual but easy to understand, the packaging is retro wish is cool, in addition I got some vintage stickers made rather fun. More that engage the 9v battery included and go!

SOUND QUALITY

L we enter the heart of the matter and wow! It pete! In clean to say that a boost we can say that a boost! With a little more gain you get some nice overdrive, but eventually enough lgers, I would say even mild and it is very pleasant to play classic rock or country / blues. After it takes a little tweak to find the right rglage based on qualisation, micro used etc. But after having well rgl the pedal, guitar and amp, it does not touch because it's beautiful. For 39 euros I rest on the buttocks. It's soft but certainly when you love beautiful!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I did that for now, but no regrets. For 40 euros it's hard to do better. I have hesitated with overdrive Boss od-1 or Behringer TO800 but it's the best quality-price ratio. The pedal is so solid metal, but especially the sound that gets is gnial. The one thing ngatif the knob treble / bass lousy. But otherwise I am very satisfied, I think I'll keep it long this little pedal.

Edit June 24, 2010: I still have this pedal and I love it. I use it mostly as a boost and I can not play anymore because it beautifully embellished sound without dnaturer. I let it clicks into overdrive the amp too. Level the middle and gain a quarter without touching the treble / bass is my rglage prfr. Sometimes I go up the gain to have lgers crunches. It warms my sound so well without changing it's incredible. In addition v1 is no longer available today so I will not give my own!
