"Great Tone Use with Tube amp slightly dirty."

I may try to put the turbo rat I have in front of it for more singing sustain. I am happy with it. I would instantly replace it if lost.
Sound
This is a clean boost to your signal. I have had TONS of overdrives/distortions TS from the eighties, TS9, OD-1 Rat, etc. This is one of the best sounding and most responsive to playing I have tried. I use it with my strat and my Peavey valveking on the OD channel just a little dirty (4-6). With this pedal boosting the signal I can get tones from blues overdrive to early Metallica with the volume knob even santana type tones in the neck Pup. Very Musical but with a agressive bite. Really good tone and versitile. Very good with a tube amp. Preserves the tone of the guitar and the amp. I've got "my tone" with this OD and my amp.
Features
standard gain and volume. The two band EQ is a very good feature which adds tons of versalitlity. I set my Low to 1 oclock to get a little more thump out of the amp and highs to 3:00 and it pushes the amp nicely. Knobs seem to lock in place (don't know if this is designed) after set which makes keeping settings easy.
Ease of Use
Very easy to get a good tone from slight overdrive to all out mayhem with a tube amp slightly driven.
Quality
Seems really solid. Not quite like a rat but solid. More solid than pedals of like design.
Value
Really… read more great tone for a reasonable price. I remember when most pedals were 40-50$ This was a nice suprise.
The Wow Factor
This pedal (I hope) will be a classic like the TS. I say i hope because it is a really great tone in an un-assuming package.
