Not Bad!

Pretty solid for the price. I'm pretty sure it's a clone of the MXR 10-band EQ, if not it's very close. Better build quality than your typical off-brand pedal. Will definitely do the job to sculpt your tone on the cheap.

S-tier pickups for heavy, downtuned music

Absolutely phenomenal pickups with tons of bite. I usually tune to Drop A# and use quite a bit of gain, and I still have tons of clarity.

THE Pedal for Extreme Music

The original was a classic in the death metal, black metal, grindcore, and modern hardcore scenes for a reason. The unmistakable gravel-encrusted chainsaw is, IMO, the best tone for extreme music. Wild, heavy, violent.

You can also tweak it to get some other neat tones as well, so if you branch out to other genres, don't be afraid to play with it a bit. The all-maxed chainsaw is great, but you might be surprised what else it can do.

Gain on gain

It's certainly not the most versatile pedal in the world, and it's not particularly adept at it's namesake, but if you want a lot of high-gain beef this will do the job. Don't expect to get a crunch sound out of it (even with the gain on min it's still VERY high gain), but it's a fair bit of fun for that big, scoopy, high-gain sound. Wouldn't necessarily go for it with a tight metal sound either, even when paired with an EQ or overdrive. Definitely a one-trick pony, but it's one trick is pretty fun if you give it a chance.
