Oversized now...
I have had this pedal for many years, but what I would say, is while it is unlikely to fail, the floor size is pretty big these days and that would be one of the reasons for not replacing it. Besides, there are so many other pedals now that this one is past it's sell by date.

Great effects switching unit.
Coupled with the Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher, a must have for any guitarist. Setup scenes of sound, with one click.

The Monster
This is just an unbreakable indestructible, versitile, you could almost say invincible midi machine.

versatile pedal control with seamless preset switching
It goes to the rack where it controls most of the pedals using the GCX switcher as well as the Voicelive. It switches presets automatically through Ableton (using a Saffire Pro 40), which is controlled by the drummer.

Used by Daron since its release. Daron's tech is switching from clean to dirt tones with it at the side of the stage so Daron's doesn't have to care about switching amps on stage. Clean sounds come from a Marshall Plexi head or a Divided by 13 FTR-37 head and dirt sounds from a modded Marshall Plexi head.
