Terrible

The gain control does nothing for most of it's range, the output sounds identical to the dry signal until 12 o'clock (soft clipping) and 3 o'clock (hard clipping) and just to add insult to injury, when the pedal actually does start doing something it doesn't sound that great, I would describe the sound as thin and weak. Also don't bother with the middle setting, it's identical to the hard clipping setting (which makes me wonder if the hard clipping diodes are actually doing anything at all). As you might have guessed by now I did not enjoy this pedal.
