Limited use outside heavy distortion setups

To be honest, I don't use this much anymore. I'll sometimes use this in conjunction with my Randall head to get a heavy as f**k distortion, but outside of NIN-styled noisy stuff it's kinda useless.

Versatile phaser with enhanced control for clean tones

I tend to keep it on the 4-stage phaser setting, to get something similar to the MXR Phase 90 except with a bit more control on the sound. I'll rarely use this with heavy distortion, mainly just with clean or slightly overdriven stuff.

Versatile delay pedal with unique effects for creative soundscapes

Great, varied delay pedal which can get me long, spacey delays with short analog delays and everything in between. I personally love to use the reverse delay and the analog delay, plus the "twist" effect for big rock endings and snazzy interludes

Versatile tremolo for stutter effects and classic amp sounds

I use it for a quick stutter effect, though it does a really good job at classic amp tremolo sounds for surf rock or country.

Smooth chorus sound for clean and overdriven tones

It's a nice, smooth chorus sound, even at the most extreme setting. FANTASTIC for clean stuff or a Rush-esque overdrive sound.

Versatile flanger pedal with excellent tone options, but lacks in hot-hand functionality

Lots of flanger sounds to chose from, great for clean tones and lead tones alike. The hot-hand settings are useless, but the rest of the pedal is fantastic and has a lot packed into it.

Versatile overdrive for brighter leads and octave fuzz

I use this as either a boost for leads, or in conjunction with my MXR Blue Box for a thick, angry sounding octave fuzz. I prefer this pedal's bright overdrive to the Tube Screamers thick, middy cream, as it helps clean up the low end a bit more and gives my tone a great treble boost.

Wide sweep and piercing high end for versatile play

It's got a nice, wide sweep and a piercing high end which is great for solos and clean stuff alike.

Versatile fuzz pedal for synth-like guitar tones

I love mixing this pedal's creamy gated fuzz and sub octave (-2 octaves) with either amp distortion, an overdrive pedal, and/or a wah pedal for some thick, angry, and ballsy synth-like guitar tones. On its own it's simple and though it leaves much to be desired, i'd rather have something simple than something pointlessly complex, especially for such a niche effect.

Putting the Pedal To The Metal, Literally

This is a convenient as hell pedalboard. It doesn't fit massive pedals, but it's great for live performances and comes with a built in power supply. It also came covered in a thick carpet and has heavy duty latches on it, which make it great for touring and travel.

It does the thing

It's no longer on the market, and it's a biiiit clunky, but it's an easy to use and sturdy as hell foot controller for my Pod HD Pro X. I use it mainly for quick switching and live applications (plus controlling of volume and whammy effects while recording).

Fantastic rack modeler - well worth the money and more.

This is where I get the majority of my guitar and vocal tones. Though I tend to do most timed delays in my DAW, this allows me to get all the amplifier and guitar tones I would ever need in both live and studio applications.

I honestly just wish it had more variety in the way of bass amp impulses/models.
