This pedal must be one of the most versatile distorton pedals for 100 bucks ($CAN). Not to mention it's solidly built, and looks great. The gain control can take you from a smooth bluesy overdrive to a nice thick crunchy dictorton great for rhythm. The volume gives one hell of a boost which is why I use it for solos. For lead tones, you can shape it to sound however you want, but keep in mind it's essential to have a good clean tone before using distortion over it. Not to mention the quality of your guitar and amp, which can seriously affect your tone. If you're looking to play mostly metal stuff and detuned riffs, you'd be better off looking for the Jackhammer, but beware, it puts out a hell of a lotta bass. The Guv'nor is great for classic rock, Led Zep, AC/DC, Santana, Van Halen, etc. If you're looking for a great all-round distortion, look no further than the Guv'nor, you'll be impressed!

Feature:
Aside from the deep control (which rocks), this pedal doesnt't really have features or accessories. but then again it's not supposed to. I only wish the wall adapter came with it
Quality:
I'm pretty careful with my stuff so I don't know firsthand but I've heard stories about how ridiculously strong this pedal is (hitting with hammers, dropping off of decks, etc.)
Value:
this item is very cheap and very high quality
Desirability:
I think this pedal's hot but family and friends have said it looks like a sowing machine pedal (not sure if that's good or bad). But really come on who's unna be staring at your feet during a show?
Sound:
This pedal sounds awesome
Ease of Use:
Clear, hah, a four year child could understand this
Support:
Haven't had to deal with them which in my opinion is the best kind of support
Overall:
This pedal is awesome in my opinion. but ist's probably not fr you if you're looking for something flashy or with a lot of effects
