Musical Distortion Pedal

I love this distortion pedal. It's very musical and easy to dial in. F & T switch makes it versatile for single coil and humbucker guitars. I've opened the chassis to check the components. There is a transformer, good quality components and neat wiring. The LED light is useful. Helps to indicate the sustain/attack of my playing. There is some noise when the pedal is on but it's negligible. I'd highly recommend this.
