Ease of Use
:
8
How hard can it be - three knobs for drive, level and tone. It's quite a tall box compared to some so might need velcroing to your pedalboard.
Sound Quality
:
9
Use it with a strat and a les paul with a variety of amps. This little beast is great for getting a tube drive tone out of solid state amps, and awesome when stuck through something decent like my twin.
Good for subtle bluesy crunch through to more gainy stuff. Not completely extreme but they apparently make a bigger one for that that I couldn't afford (next time though...)
Reliability
:
8
Had it for a couple of months and no problems so far. It's built in what looks like a bomb-proof box so don't anticipate any trouble...

Not needed support...
Overall Rating

I have been playing guitar for 25+ years and have tried dozens of distortion/overdrive pedals, most of which I hated. This thing seems to preserve the tone of the guitar whilst adding a tube driven quality (it should, it's got a tube in it!). I use it all the time.
If it was lost or stolen, I'd probably get another one or go for their more luxurious 2 tube version.
