Great booster with a secret weapon
The FB-2 works great just for a little boost and volume to make you stand out during a solo or to beef up a particularly intense part of the song and, in the same vein, it works pretty well as an overdrive pedal. The thing that sets it apart and makes it a fun little toy in your kit is the eponymous feedback feature. Feedback can be hard to master and control, but even at low volumes the FB-2 does a pretty great job of emulating that feedback and putting it in your control.

You can't compete with the classics
A Mexican model, I call mine Rosa after one of the techs who built her. Great play-feel and even better tone. A very versatile guitar sound-wise, but I think she sounds best when applied to rock and blues. My favorite and most upscale guitar yet.

Love it so far
I named mine Rosa after the first Pixies (studio) album. Tones are great, the feel is great, just mmmmm love it. Using it to record my band's first EP.

I have a used MIM and it's lovely
I love the feel, I love the tones, it's great. I'm a big fan of the no switch system. All knobs all day.

Lovely for beginners
A very limited looper pedal, but great for beginners or someone who doesn't need something too fancy. However, if you're merely exploring, I wouldn't recommend buying a new one or buying one at all if you can help it. Borrow a friends or otherwise avoid. If you have as much fun as I did, you'll soon crave the ability to save your loops or line up loops together.

Awesome
I basically stole my brother's after he stepped away from guitar and I've loved it since. The tone seems better than with my DS-1 and the extra knob really lets you turn it up to 11 and makes feedback control a little easier (which, for musicians such as myself, can be essential in playing certain songs)

One of the better ones: a classic.
This was the first distortion pedal, or pedal of any type, that I'd ever purchased for my guitar. I liked it a lot at the time and still kind of admire it. It's counterpart, the DS-2, is much better. The tone is better, I find, and the extra switch lets you get heavier and control feedback easier.

Subpar sound; awesome feel
Currently in the process of replacing the potentiometers and the pickups on my own. I've always liked how it feels better than any other electric, but the standard electronics kind of blow. Replace them as soon as you get yours and you should be fairly happy.

It's alright
It gets the job done, but it's not awesome about staying in tune, the tone upon purchase is lacking, and I'm not a big fan of the feel of it anyway. I'm not sure if I'm just not a Les Paul guy or what.

It's got fascinating tones
Rather basic keyboard, but a great first and though a lot of my timbre switches are broken, I still get some cool, unique tones.
