This pedal is brilliant... IF you overlook the fundamental flaws. Firstly, the tone control is on the inside of the pedal which means, unless they both use the same drive tone, this only works for one song per gig. Secondly, if you use it while it charges it squeals badly and even if you take it off charge it still hisses. Tonally it's beautiful and the Li-ion battery was a neat idea, but it wasn't executed well enough.
