Ease of Use

This is a two knob pedal: Volume & Fuss ( Fuzz )with a true bypass switch. Very easy to use. This pedal has the same footprint as my MXR pedals, similar knob layout as well.
Sound Quality

I am using a Fender Cyber-Twin Se & an USA Stratocaster. I have used this pedal in front of a clean sound( Twin Reverb) and a Dirty sound
and it works well with both. With the Fuss all the way down you get a mild fuzz with lots of boost. The most responsive range on the Fuss knob is between 3/4 and full and there is plenty of fuzz avalible. This is a very bright/clean sounding fuzz that is rough and hard. It is not at all muddy, or dark. So if you want a muff fuzz don't get this pedal! However if you are looking for a high gain in your face screaming fuzz then this one fits the bill. As far as noise goes it seems to be about average, it is less noisy the my Dunlop JH-2S Classic Fuzz ( the little red one). I think it sounds great and is different then a lot of fuzz pedals I have tried. If you combine this pedal with their Less Drive and crank them both up there is a massive amount of fuzz/volume avalible.

I have not had this pedal for too long, but it seems fine. I would use it with out a back-up but I do not play "out", so keep that in mind. I use my gear about 3-6 hours a day.

I have not had any problems with the pedal itself , but all my dealings with them have been great.
Overall Rating

I have only been playing for about a year so I am no expert, these pedals seem well built, they are handmade in the USA and they suit my needs just fine. As mentioned I have a Dunlop JH-2H fuzz, a ElectroniX Less Drive as well as a Metal Muff and a Vox "Sat" distortion. I have a couple of Yamaha Electrics Guitars as well and play mostly 80's Rock. Where else can you get a hand made pedal for $70.00!!!!
