Ease of Use

Well, its a simple stompbox distion. EQ: bass, mid, trbl. Gain, level and Mix. Mix is for mixing two types of distortion used in the effect. Manual is clear and you can find some useful settings and all the information, even the current draw... This is the latest serires of that old p{olish boutique guitar effects manufacturer.

Its a very high gain two distortion in one - with mixing the signal of them. I think it stands for its name - kamikaze - its not a typicall heavy distrotion U kno - it is something different - very specific. For me it sounds better on low drives then on high - its good for single notes - i think death metal is what it is made for - some kind of swedish sound.

I checked it with many of my guitars and my TSL 60.
The best sound was combined with Exar TC04 TaBassco.
It is not for me - that kamikaze - but if some1 is lookin 4 sth different thats for him...
