Easy to use and get a good sound out of.
Have to say, this is one cool-looking pedal. Looks plenty solid with that small protection bar over the tube opening. Full-size knobs. Solid footswitch.
The tube filaments actually glow! Not lit by LEDs!
Mine is the "value" version - the cheapest amongst the three. Guess what? It didn't sound any different from the "standard" version.

Very tubey-sounding overdrive. Has that tube presence and clarity that only comes from an actual tube. Good for slight OD to mid-gain distortion.

Mainly play blues and roots stuff. Also own a few other tube overdrive pedals. This one sorta takes a middle path amongst them - can do both light overdrive and moderate distortion.
Like it for the price I paid. This pedal is a very good example of how the Chinese manufacturers are catching up in terms of sound and build quality, while retaining a low price. Biyang is probably a leading Chinese effects maker right now.

it's high quality build! Really,a lot better than most any pedals you've seen. The top case is made of top quality brushed aluminum,not folded steel as someone else noted.

Very easy pedal to use, four knobs control the Main level, Bass, Treble and Gain of the effect. There is a single stompswitch to turn effect on this switch also totally bypasses the effect circuit when turned off, preventing the effect from sucking any tone from the guitar when not in use.

Produces a classic overdriven valve tone, i have the otd-100pro which has a electro harmonix tube in it. The distortion sounds sweet and free from noise at high levels, the tube take a few secounds to warm up when you first use it.

For the price this pedal is by far the best distrotion pedal i have ever owned, considering most tube distorsions are well over 100 pounds the baby is a bargin.
