It sounds terrible in comparison with other pedals. The price is way to high... This thing really, I mean, really sucks! It doens't have any features and the sound is BAD.

Prettt good, but still far too low for that price. Destroyed within 2 weeks. Spend your ?90 on a real pedal!

I play heavy metal to every metal, so I need distortion, bt this thing really, really sucks. I paid 90, but I shouldn't even have paid 10! Save yourself from regrets and DON'T BUY IT!!!

its a small yellow box with 3 turning knobs on them and a on/of switch, how easy can it be!
when i first plugged it in, and start turning the large knobs, it became directly very clear, this is the sound I was looking for!
the 3 knobs are attack, level, and manual.
the body is a kind of very hard plastic, with a little steel layer on it, you kan just jump on it, without distroying it.

i play mostly heavy-punk and some old 70s metal (judas priest, black sabbath)
i have a fender mexican strat, epiphone sg as my main guitars, going trough a j&h(visual sound) distortion pedal, a ibanez chorus,and the doctor Q, going into a noise gate, and then into my marshall valvestate(80 watts)
this pedal makes my distortion very different, and gives me my own sound. i play in a band, doing some gigs in the nearby cafe's.
i don't like funk music, but my friend does, and he bought it to :D

i use it for more then 4 years, and never let me down. i always gig without backup, because if it breaks down(what never happend) I would just disconnect it, so the sound is bypassed.
really reliable

if you want some thing diffent than the normal distortion, plug this efrfect into your circuit, and hear the differance. if it was lost, i would search the world for another one. i last year compeared it to the electro-harmonics Doctor Q, but that one just is shit compeared to my exar:D
for funky and distorted sounds its just great :D
