Sound
I've owned one of these since they first came out --- I assume the current pedal has the same guts as mine. Why would they mess with it when it sounds so outstanding. Don't believe me? Then read just about every DigiTech Grunge pedal review ever posted on every site on the world wide web. But I totally understand your misgivings --- it looks cheap and it does look quite ridiculious actually --- it has a stupid name and it's a DigiTech which is generally associated with super mass produced lower end stuff --- also it's fairly cheap in price. And everyone knows that you only get what you pay for --- right? Well --- every rule has it's exception and this is one. I have been using mine for nearly 15 years and I still use it. I use it for one reason. It does what it does VERY --- VERY --- V-E-R-Y well. I used it today. I use it everyday. I'm not trying to say it's perfect and that it's the best pedal of all time or something. It's not going to be all things to all people. (It's a cheap DigiTech pedal for crypssake)! It's just insanely good at what it does. Anyway, I've got a ton of pedals from seriously expensive "super" pedals to used, abused and discarded classics. yet I always find time for the ol' Grunge in my line up. Try it in your chain behind a tubescreamer or a decent overdrive and you will be in distortion heaven --- front row center.

Ease of Use
Ummm... use the knobs to find a sound you like and then find read more the place in your chain that makes the Grunge sound good to your ears. Simple. I often use it behind my Big Muff to brighten the fuzz a touch. The Grunge pedal is not particularly heavy on the low end sounds so it ends up being great for adding definition.

Quality
Been going strong for about fifteen years and counting.
