Awesome as a distortion pedal
I really just use the gain channel on this as a high gain distortion pedal. It sounds really good… I am sure not quite as awesome as a real dual rectifier, but pretty damn close. Clean channel is fine… and it’s nice to be able to shape the tone with the EQ knobs. But the gain channel is why you buy this pedal. Excellent value.
