The last OD pedal I'll own

I was looking to simplify my board and wanted to get to the "last " version of everything. For any guitar player, the OD pedal is probably the most difficult to achieve this goal, there are so many flavours. I saved enough to finally purchase this from a Reverb retailer and almost immediately knew that I'd made the right call. The "green" side is magic, but when it cascades into the "blue" side...OD perfection.
