Value For Money : Excellent
Handmade in analog overdrive Us
The case, smaller than a boss pedal seems extremely solid metal with rounded edges. The knob also inspires confidence and offers good resistance, very nice.
Neither too light nor too heavy (interesting no?).

UTILIZATION

The beauty of this pedal is its simplicity. Volume, gain, treble and bass, you know where you are going. For my use (jazz, rock, reggae, funk) the level of gain is more than enough. I regret not having just one knob to medium and more, because I already played with the neck pickup tone low enough (of vintage telecaster hot rod 52 ', so humbucker).

SOUND QUALITY

A very musical pedal, which responded wonderfully to the attack of notes. It's a real pleasure to have a clear and just do cruncher the end of sentences.
With more than gains (third race) and playing on the bridge pickup, you can get sounds Style Pearl Jam, but always precise, never draft (unless we try to play like this ^ ^)
Pedal pretty transparent complies the sound of your instrument. There's still a small enhancement of mediums, but less than a TS9 or a maxon od 808. The EQ is extremely effective, and still musical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, every day. Very versatile pedal, a wide range of sounds.
Its small size is a treat in the pedal board. All pedals should have this format (follow my eyes to the EH) ^ ^!
Excellent pedal, good quality / price ratio, more than a maxon, but we understand why.
With the experience I would buy the RC booster in addition (+ transparent and less gain).
I would try the BB preamp as well.
