Ease of Use

It's a Boss Overdrive, very simple to use.
Sound Quality

This thing sounds quite bad actually, The soundclips on the website are misleading. I thought that I was going to get a clearer tone with much more smooth gain than the stock pedal. Instead, this mod increased the noise incredibly, lost bass, and only seemed to make the pedal louder, not better. I tried this pedal with my Fender Twin Reverb (reissue) and a small Marshall JCM900 combo. On the Marshall it adds a lttle (VERY little) clarity to the overall tone, but the overdrive clips it in a very unnatural and unmusical way. On the Fender, the treble on this thing will take your head off! I was left wondering why I spent the money on this mod. A friend of mine has a Keeley Phat modded BD-2 and it blows this piece of crap away. I guess I should just stick with guys that actually know what they are doing instead of trying to give a "new guy" a chance. Don;t waste your time or money.

It's a BOSS, so it's reliable.

This guy seems to be nice enough at first, but he gets defensive when you ask questions about his mods or complain.
I won't be buying from him again.

I used this pedal with a Fender Am. Standard Strat and my Epi Les Paul (replaced the pickups with Duncans) through the above mentioned amps and it is definitely not an improvement. Stick with Keeley or Analogman.
