Heavy

Heavy sounds, small but heavy package. Three channel small, all three channels can almost be used in performance using the for switches. Look for the coloured stripe above the power cable. Purple stripe is probably the most balanced, blue stripe the most aggressive. Does great black face cleans through to searing leads and brutal metal rhythm.

Decent tuner in a familiar package

More than accurate enough for stage tuning. Display visible from wide angles.

Expensive ... but worth it

This is a remarkable pedal. There are some really OTT sounds in here but there is plenty that's useful. I love the spring emulation and the fact that it comes with a very amp-like tremolo that is linked to the hot switch by default. Halls and plates are suitably high quality. Blackhole is out there on its own - what an algorithm!

Good basic metal guitar

I bought this second hand and already heavily upgraded. It's a good basic guitar and the addition of EMG active pickups and an original Floyd Rose only make it better.

More OD than Dist

Good vintage flavoured overdrive. The addition of a tone control makes it a good bit more versatile than a Distortion+. I have grown to love this pedal.

Great on guitar

It may be a bass pedal but it sounds great on guitar. Very like the Russion green muff.

Sublime

An outstanding Japanese copy of the venerable ES335. Sublime playability. Mine has Gibson burstbucker pickups and tone pros Kluson tuners.

I theought the es100 was a Korean-made tokai, am I wrong? I have been on the lookout for an older tokai 335 copy in natural at a good price, but to no avail... they command some hefty pricetags these days, might as well buy a new Gibson Memphis dot

Definitely Japanese made, Jim
