One of the Best in the OD Department

Truly one of the Masterpieces in the Overdrive Pedals department. This Pedal is versatile, has Gain to Boost all Night long. It's Plexi stage is perfect for Distortion, very Warm Smooth and yet Articulate. It can be used as just a Boost and finally as a very Organic and Transparent Overdrive Pedal with lots of Gain to Spare and yet always remains Responsive to your touch and Double/Triple Stops!

perhaps the best " TS " pedal around ...

Perhaps the best " TS " pedal . Awesome " Marshall " sound and maybe the most touch sensitive of all the OD's ( together with Okko Diablo ) that I've tried . The only think that I don't like , is that there's huge gain differences between the 3 stages so it's not easy controllable in a live..

I have a Rock Box boiling point. It is one hell of a boost for solos that bumps up your signal for cutting through, doesn’t overly color your tone and is very versatile.
