good pedal but definitely not amazing

as you can probably imagine, these pedals are great just to mess around with and you can definitely get a great chunky tone from this little bad boy but i would have to go with a higher end pedal just because you can definitely hear the difference, or even just run through a built in effects unit.

This pedal does quite a good job of emulating a marshall distortion kind of sound but it just isn't perfect.
