Ease of Use
:
No Opinion
Volume and Drive. Seems to really kick into gear about around 8 (drive knob). Plug and play. Switch is silent.
Sound Quality
:
No Opinion
Played thru a clean jc120 with a vintage gretsch (filtertrons), a humbucker 335, a strat, and a firebird (mini hummers), I think I like it with the strat the most, but then again, thats the sound most of us know (thanks, Mr. Hendrix). I like it with the higher output pups. Its an ocatvia. Its really piercing and dirty. Not too harsh. I do run it into dirt sometimes to get that vintage Jimmy vibe. Not noisy at all, just a tad, cause it is a dirt box. I sometimes run a vintage boss od-1 before it to give it a bit more midd-y boost, but its all tastes. Its fine as it is. Maybe someone else can add a different perspective. I bet it would sound awesome thru a marshall.

Well, my firend knows Steve Kim (pres. of Moollon), so Im lucky, but I'd be way surprised if there was any problem. Very solid. Im sure they would have excellent c.s. if needed.
Overall Rating

No Opinion
Im really proud to say this company is from South Korea. It shows Korea's strength and fabulous resource of creative people. Its really beautiful with its graphic motif, very gothic. go to the homepage at Moolloon.com and dig their stuff. Now, theyre getting some big name support, like Stevie Stevens (Billy Idol) and Marc Tremonti (Creed) as well as JOHNNY MARR! The SMITHS!!!!!! Its almost enough to look at these pedals, theyre probably one of the most lovely things out there for guitarist. But, the one downside, they're pricey. Oh well, the things we do for our sound...
