Esay to use. Just plug in guitar input jack, and put a cord from the output jack to your amp. Turn distortion knob full up, then adjust volume knob to your taste/hearing threshold...

Very good distortion sound. Gritty but warm. Not many different sounds available, in fact I found only one that sounded good to me: distortion approaching full bore. Anything less sounded artificial, and not very strong of character. It does one trick but does it well and I found it pleasing to the ear.

It's probably from the 70s, but has not broken or needed repair as far as I can see. Still I would have to say it appears to be a low budget copy of the mxr distortion=. A hard knock could cause it to break. You just have to take care of your gear.

This is a fun distortion, albeit a limited one. It has made me curious as to how the older mxr distortion+ sounds. Since the mxr models are sometimes too expensive I will make do with this coron until I find a dist+ at a reasonabl price.

Really simple...One knob for volume control, the other for drive. But you can get mad about changing the battery. It's inside the Coron...somewhere inside...

Fat, fat, fat ! I played it with my old 50 Watts Hiwatt and an old 4x12" Boogie Cabinet. You may say evrything sounds good with them...OK. But it even sounds as fat with any other Comination of Heads and Cabs or Combos as well. Sound may be a bit dirty, but that's why I love this machine.

The best I've ever had ! Excellent and unreachable Sound, endlessly reliable, I never had any single problem using it. But don't try to get one, they're all out. It took me more than 5 years to get one, and this for I paid as much as for any TS 808. OK, beneath a Coron Distortion 15, any f***ing TS 808 is nothing more than just any overdrive effect.
