Best value:
Excellent
Overdrive pedal - analog distortion (contrary to what was said in the first notice).
Two-band EQ (bass - treble), gain level adjustment + volume.
Simulator output with HP handy for troubleshooting or double the output to the amp (to connect in parallel to a console).
UTILIZATION
Using simple architecture.
The gain knob is very useful for the determination progressive rate saturation.
This pedal responds well to the dynamics of the game pushed to gain the same high level, meaning that the intensity variations in the game (more or less strong) are restored and the sound is not too compressed As with some other pedals.
SOUND QUALITY
Its actually very blues (it is aptly named). I would say it is still a bit too loaded and acute need to adapt the equalizer accordingly (for me, the highs are set only a third of the race of the potentiometer). Otherwise it kills the ears.
Gain variations can play important boost (gain at minimum) or light crunch to a small distortion blues (Gary Moore type). For my part, I find that the sound becomes less good when the gain exceeds three quarters of the race of the knob (it buzzes a little).

Otherwise, the output HP troubleshoots good when you can only connect to a console. For cons, the sound is slightly distorted. It is less clear and a little more cozy. However, it is a correct simulation of HP.
OVERALL OPINION
I have been using least about 6 alternating with other pedals. For me it is missing the niche between overdrive and distortion that can play both ways.
It presents a good value for money.
I would say just that the highs are a bit too present and must be corrected.
Otherwise, it particularly interesting due to its respect for the dynamics of play
