Worth every cent

I thought about getting this for around 3 years, due to cost. Now it’s my favourite pedal of all time, paired with any amp I have (Fender, Vox and Marshall styles; Tone King Imperial, Laney VC50, Tone king Royalist).

Also pairs these amps well with ANY of my guitars, from busted vintage silvertones to high end telecasters and assorted single coils. In my mind it is a full sound, but has a very particular and pleasing brightness frequency, though it is not a treble booster.

I have moog boost, super hard on, pettyjohn lift mkii, ep boost, arc effects gamut treble booster. These are all nice pedals covering a lot of ground for boost. None of them come close, for me.
