I just got this pedal and in five minutes I knew this was what I was looking for! The distortion can go super high and it does NOT destroy the tone. It sounds like real overdriven distortion is supposed to sound. It's not going to replace a Marshall stack with warm tube fuzz but for this price you can't get any better pedal.
The dual tone controls for the distortion adds a huge amount of tone-shaping and it's not just an EQ bandpass. The low-end actually adds heavy distortion, not just filtering high end out.
Great pedal.
I am only writing a brief review due to the fact that most reviewer's only say what they think they should say about a product. So here goes. This pedal does indeed live up to its name, with some tweaking you can get some really good sounds from it. It can get a little flabby with too much bass input/output, but this does depend on what you call too much? I believe it to be a very good pedal and if heavy distortion is your thing, get it and it is relatively cheap in comparison to other similar pedal like it. It can be fizzy, but with a little tweaking it rocks.
Cheers!
Pros: lots of tone adjustment, so you can and should spend time dialing in a good sound. Works well with Stratocasters and Telecasters, boosting their sound and getting more sustain. Works very well as a lead boost pedal, but I haven't tried stacking it with an overdrive to see how well that works.
Cons: Just okay as far as playing rhythm goes; does the job, but other distortion boxes (i.e. Rat, Sovereign, VH-4, et al) do a better job if you want tight, strong rhythm crunch. You could do better if you want high gain distortion (I recommend a Diesel VH-4 pedal personally, YMMV).
