Sound Quality
:
9
it sounds pretty good i was sceptical as it was billed as using mixed analog and digital solid state circuitry to simulate tube distortion i like the sound - late 60's fuzz which was what i was looking for running it through a music man 65R head and bass reflex cabinet guitar is an old beat up charvel with SD pickups the combination wood and metal case has a really neat retro look

this thing is built well by someone who must also play i had to contact them for the manual and they said that it is designed to military standards and has have many stack speakers dropped on it more than once not intentionally and had no problem i took it apart and everything looks very solid and well built

i bought it used and contacted them to get a copy of the users manual and they told me even though i am not the original owner and dont know if it out of warranty they would honor repairs indefinitely unless it was from abuse. they sent me the manual two months later in a box full of free stuff with a hand written letter saying they were way backed up and sorry it was late getting to me
Overall Rating
:

the guy at the place said he has a regular job night school and he doesnt make money off making pedals but has been doing this for two decades i asked him why not do it full time and he laughed he already works 18 hour days 7 days a week i paid a lot used - almost 200.00 used and dont know the new price but it is well built and i use it daily for the past six months
