Awesome. Has really good pot response and very full swell. This pedal is extremely articulate and clear.
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS VOLUME PEDAL is that it comes with a boost.
The boost is clean and doesn't color my sound at all. It actually seems to enhance my other effects as good clean boosts normally do. The boost amount is adjustable by a exterior trim pot at the bottom of the pedal. The only catch about the boost is that it adds treble when more than 75% up. Cool if you dig treble boosts, as I do.
I find it best with the boost slightly more than halfway up. It does a great job of enhancing my fuzzes (Dunlop modded fuzz face, and a PNP Monsterpiece Fuzz Face), making them more articulate, and clearing up my lows.
This pedal has been great for my gig's, it saves room and time. While you're on your volume pedal you can also hit your boost in one
move.

I love heavy. She is heavy. I dropped her once, she's still heavy, and she still sounds great.

Overall Rating

No coloration, super quiet, full clean volume swell, with smooth mechanics. It's stands out with the boost. I also believe it might be pretty rare as I've never seen or heard of one before.
