I quite like it but it's hard to see how it's THAT much better than other pedals I have

The Fuzz tones are nice. Having an Octava and Drive unit attached are very convenient but I tend to gravitate more toward my GT-500 for those sounds than trying to dial in something with the Pignortion OFO.

One of the better Danelectro pedals but nothing special

Fine for the price but you can get more for your $$$.

Incredible, incredible guitar for the price

If you want a jazzmaster but don't want to break the bank, buy this guitar. It plays great, sounds great, and feels great. I have a much more expensive warmoth Strat that I actually love playing....but the Jazzmaster is always RIGHT THERE saying "c'mon, brad....you know you want to play with me" and I succumb time and time again. Just a great guitar. Unreal that it's a squire. Very odd product decision from Fender.

Pitch tracking is too slow for my taste

This does what it says it does very nicely, but if you want to run it 100% wet to shift your tone in real-time I think you should pass. The pitch tracking is noticeably slow when trying to play a bass line, for instance.

Sturdy, light, lots of space

I bought this used for $100 (including power supply and patchbay module) about a week ago and so far I've been pretty thrilled with it. I'm able to fit about 18 pedals onto it with some finagling. It feels really sturdy.

One thing I don't care for so much is the metal/grey coloring on the shelves. I might take those out and paint them black just to cut down on the visual noise.

Great stereo mic!

Really happy with this one.

An 808 in your pocket for under $200.

Big fan. This is a fun machine to play around with. I like running it through crazy effects and tweaking the stutter button on the high hats.

Fun fun fun

The Volca Bass is a really simple, fun way to assemble bass loops to jam around. I like mine a lot.

OK

The sounds are alright. Some nice reverbs. You'll find yourself wanting more IMO.

Sounds a bit pinched and sampled by has lots of sounds

Have had this forever and used it for strings and keyboard tones. You can get them very cheaply now!

Fun for plunking around with but really missing a 9v jack

I picked up a very used one of these recently and while it's fun to play around with, it feels a little too specific to use generally on my board. Also, there's no 9v jack so it's annoying having to unplug the input when not using it to save battery.

Update: I just figured out how to use the 9v adaptor from my OneSpot to have this thing powered without a proper 9v battery. Much better!

Beautiful, twangy, classic, fun to play

I own an early '00s MIM tele. It's seen better days but plays and sounds great. Very happy with it.

Sounds like sleeping at the bottom of the ocean

This is a quirky pedal. It has a some nice digital delays and then several pitch shifted delays that get progressively weirder with each preset you try. Weird....and beautiful. Preset 7 is the famous one, a kind of pitch-shifted reverse reverb that sounds incredible when set fully "wet" and detuned one octave. I ran a chord progression out of my Ditto Looper into it...and when I closed my eyes I imagines I was floating just off the bottom of the ocean looking up at the surface. Dark and shifty.

One of the higher presets is either the effect used on the lead part in Radiohead's "My Iron Lung" or dead close to it. Really great pedal.

One quirk, the wet sound is slightly delayed off the dry. This bugs me a bit.

My first fuzz pedal

Bit too dark for me but still interesting.

Monstrous Boutique Tonebender Clone

The Supa Dirty Rooster is a clone of the Jumbo Tonebender. It's a fuzz pedal with a lot of bassy growl to it. It's got a nice Mids control and sounds very good at all volumes. Great for leads. When you crank it, it dials in that Radiohead circa "The Bends" tone very very nicely. Really really pleased with this pedal. Sounds great cranked.

A must-have fuzz pedal. Best thing out there

I was looking for a pedal to get me close to the Siamese Dream Smashing Pumpkins tone. This does that. It's a boutique clone of the v4 OpAmp Big Muff used on that album...and it just sounds gorgeous. Clear. Clean. Hard. Pristine. It does one tone and it does it very very very well. Max out the sustain and set the tone to 2 o'clock. Instant Pumpkins.

I've since bought a Swollen Pickle and Fuzz Factory. The Swollen Pickle is great because it can go DEEP on the bass into some stoner rock tones. The Fuzz Factory is great for leads and making weird crazy amp sounds. But for a big rock fuzz that melts off faces, I come back to my trusted Pumpkin Pi every single time. I love this pedal so much I just ordered a bunch more from Matt at Stomp Under Foot. Get this.

It's a bit more opinionated than I'm looking for, but a good overdrive/distortion pedal for the price.

I prefer my Fulltone GT500 but this is pretty fun, too. The bass boost buttons are kind of fiddly and I've not seen a lot of value from them.

Great Soviet Muff Clone

I own a few muff clones and liked this one because when you crank the secondary faders you get a really powerful, bassy fuzz that's a bit different than the standard Big Muff tone.

It's quiet but it sounds great and has a headphone output.

Very happy with it as a bedroom tube amp.
