Imported from Electric Mojo Guitars in May 2019, I was initially interested in this pedal because of its roots being based upon the revered Klon Centaur Overdrive pedal. Since receiving it, I've been consistently surprised by the sounds it produces and the pedal has yet to leave my board. It's primary use is as an 'always on' pedal at the start of my chain, providing additional treble, warmth and a slight crunch to my playing. It stacks well with other pedals but is versatile enough to also provide medium/heavy overdrive as well as aggressive distortion by increasing the Savage, Gain and Drive knobs as required. Top mounted jacks and 9v DC power as well as a soft foot switch. In summary, it's really good.

Tried in-store before buying and was thoroughly blown by the quality and depth of both effects. The dual-delay is fantastic and the pedal is extremely easy to use - it's a rare pedal where every setting sounds great. Past 3 o'clock on the Feedback knob, the delay starts to self-oscillate aggressively causing levels of extreme fun. I ultimately ended up selling this pedal after a year of use due to three major issues which I felt made the pedal not as versatile as originally hoped. First is the lack of control over each effect via foot switch. Whilst there are two independent volume knobs which control the volume of each effect, an effect can only be added mid-song with a precise swipe of your big toe. Second is the lack of variety over the reverb as the only customisation available is it's volume relative to the delay and the brightness via the Tone knob. The third is the absence of tap tempo.
