Yes…
I’m not sure what to add, as the majority of the world know what it does. Whether it’s effective or not, is down to you to decide!
I have demo’d this pedal fairly extensively on my YouTube channel (for entertainment purposes), but I can say it’s certainly interesting as a texture in records rather than a focus point. I will also report it’s not the most solid of construction with sockets and pots coming loose on one occasion, but it’s easy enough to screw back together.
If you find one cheap, and you’re into textures, grab it.

It is what it is.
If by that you mean, "The best thing to happen to the guitar since the tube amp", you would be correct. This pedal does something extremely subtle and transparent to your sound that just sets it above any beyond every other pedal to come before it. I was looking into Klon Centaurs and various Strymon products before stumbling upon this beauty and I just have one thing to say.
Look no further.

Why?
like I say, I used to have it, I didn't know what is the need for it... I sold it , and hope someone will put it to good use

who needs it? no one. But you want one all the same
This is by far the most pointless and useless pedal I own. And it tracks not particularly well. But it does weird out everyone around you.... love it!
