"This is the definition of Versatility"

Feature:
The features are just the pedal and its entirety. This thing does almost anything. You won't get as much dynamics from it as opposed to a nice overdrive pedal but for lead work this thing kicks serious butt. I'm going to back it up with a DS-1 for rhythm and with the two channel Behringer FBQ1502, I will be able to get every sound under the sun.

Quality:
I'm sure the components could be upgraded because these are made in Asia and all that junk. I think with some equalization you won't have to worry about that.

Value:
For one of the cheapest Boss pedals, this is incredible. If it dropped to $50 I'd be a little more happy but paying $70 for a pedal that'll cure any disease is worth it.

Desirability:
It's pretty sexy. I wanted this thing badly because my lead guitarist at the time had a MT-2 so I wanted to combat it with this thing. I'm surprised people go for the MT-2 so much more than this thing. Of the few Boss pedals I have tried, I think this one really shines out.

Sound:
As other reviewers have said, this thing is amazingly versatile. Highly underrated, it'll churn out anything from a sick raspy rhythm sound to a screeching super sustained solo sound to a nasty bottom for drop D to fuzz (if you turn the high and low down and the distortion and gain boost up; it's just killer).

Ease of Use:
It's a pedal. You click it on and off. It didn't take me long to start messing with the knobs but only recently have I really fallen in love with this thing.

Support:
I don't know what it's like but this thing is so solid they could have monkeys manning the phones and I don't think anyone would be the wiser.

Overall:
My new solid state live show set up is based wholly around this thing. An FM65 pumping out these tones will suffice in a lot of places and I can really live with myself for switching to solid state because of this box.

"Get this Pedal!!"

Feature:
The high low volume is great. It allows you to get more out of which type of sound you want.

Quality:
Made from durable metal and looks overall very sturdy.

Value:
A great pedal with a wide range of distortion relatively cheap.

Desirability:
Looks pretty good. Just like an average pedal. Orange is a nice color too.

Sound:
The sound is amazing. It goes from no distortion to tons of it, with not much feedback. A great sound for playing any type of rock or metal music.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. The only thing that would make it easier is if the distortion and gain boost were the same knob. Besides that it is just tap on tap off, volume, and high sound low sound volume.

Overall:
Cheap. Good sound. Wide range. What more could you want?
