Awesome versatile pedal!
Used it a couple times for a direct Vox sound, sounded really good. Right now usually using it without the cab sim as a distortion pedal, to get a Vox tone with a treble boost added(which is what you get the more you boost the gain) tons of tonal options and gain on tap, very versatile, and a good backup in case my amp goes down👍
