Ease of Use
:
8
Simple controls, Level, Tone, Overdrive, plus a tone bypass switch. Sounds kinda like an Ibanez ts-9 but more aggressive Marshall kinda sound than a Tube Screamer. Not a whole lot of gain but more than the TS-9. Also is AC powered only
Sound Quality
:
7
Kinda noisy. Sounds best when used as an overdrive booster for an amp thats already overdriven, but also is good on its own. Much more low end for chords than a Tube Screamer.
Reliability
:
8
Most EH pedals are pretty dependable none of mine have ever broken down .
Customer Support

No Opinion
EH went out of business in 84 but I'm sure there's someone out there who could fix it if iot were to stop working.
Overall Rating
:
7
I'd maybe buy it again if the price were right. Decent overdrive sound but kinda noisy and big size make it not as desireable as a TS-9 or Real Tube.
