The Signature Sound
The sound of this pedal is a must for the funk sounds of 1970 -1980 music. So to get that certain sound description correct close to the original records I've sung on in the past this is a must-have pedal. It helps fulfill the catalog with its many uses.

It's a nice one
I enjoy it well, but I always run into too much bass or too much treble (maybe I don't know how to dial it correctly). But, needless to say it plays great on my guitars/bass.
