Ease of Use
:

The OTP has three control pots. Saturation, Level and Voice. Doesn't get any easier than that
Sound Quality
:
10
Pedal is a high gain distortion with low noise ration. This pedal has so much head room you can seriously scare the hell out of whoever is in the room.
Using a Crate tube amp with a 2001 Fender Strat, definitely not the best amp out there, but this pedals dials it to the sweet spot.
This pedal provides crunch rhythm and smooth creamy leads. The Voice pot is a subtle BASS/TREBLE attenuator.
Reliability

Pedal is built like a tank. I step on them hard and I don't baby my gear at all. Never had an issue with any of my Goudie FX pedals. Don't use backup pedals.
Case in point: Drop one of my Elite 600 top speakers on my Goudie Delay. Landed on the pedal with the corner metal plate. Pot settings were altered and the paint was chipped, but the pedal did not miss a beat. By the way, the Elite 600 weighs in a 77 pounds.
Customer Support

Never had an issue with my pedals, but I have spoken with Mr. Goudie on several occasions discussing his up and coming and now released "OTP". He provided me with the knowledge if I so desire to change the tonal characteristics of the pedal. I think that is great customer support.
I was also witness to the prototype "OTP" grave yard. One thing Mr. Goudie does not do, and that is settle. He works at it until he is happy with the final product.

When I play this pedal, I lose track of time.
