First, a disclaimer that I have no idea how to use this thing. Second, it needs a compressor to not sound really bad. The tracking works fine if you play slowly but completely fails at higher speeds. The sound is grainy- not in a distorted way, but as though it were created by a low fidelity Gameboy Advance chip, or passed through a radio first. You need to really want this pedal before buying it.

Sounds fine, but only with the one sound. If you want versatility get something with more knobs

Great pedal. Not very big on the gain sound itself but a very nice clean boost with tons of volume available. The one flaw with Boss pedals is that the little rubber piece around the screw for the foot switch tears almost immediately, but this has basically no effect on playability.

Could use more gain but the inherent tone is great. I pair it with some extra distortion for an old school thrash sound

Extremely versatile pedal that completely changes its sound depending on the settings. I recommend keeping the gain around 11 o'clock or below for distortion and only going above that if you want sputtery fuzz. It's a little strange that the filter knob turns the opposite way as a tone knob but whatever, you get used to it.

Sounds fine as an extra gain stage into other drive pedals but not great by itself. The gain also becomes too noisy and mushy in the second half of the dial. If you're buying your first distortion pedal I'd recommend a RAT instead.

Works great for a ton of applications! You can switch between two loops or use it as a 3 way splitter. Much more durable than those ABY cables!
