Feature:
Power circuit lets you use almost any AC adapter you can throw at it -- Boss, Ibanez, etc. so you can use whatever is hanging around in your closet or gear bag. That's a good design. Simple to use knobs, clear markings, and all. At first, the manual seemed slim and I wanted more details, but after playing with the pedal, I realized the sound is what it's about, and that's easy to get to.
Quality:
Seems sturdy enough. Using it for once a week gigs, where keep it velcro'd to the top of my amp. So far, so good. Never crapped out, always works as expected.
Value:
Was looking at expensive multi-fx pedals and chose this because, while it did less, it sounded better. So I guess I saved $150 that way...
Desirability:
Kind of hard to get excited about it without trying it. Graphics are a little wild, like those Toyota interiors that are supposed to appeal to young drivers. But hey, once you plug it in, it's very easy to live with.
Sound:
I was looking for something that would improve my live sound, but wasn't sure what I needed. This pedal impressed me in the store when I plugged it into a Crate and got it to sound like a fine Ampeg. On my own rig, I've been impressed by the emphasis and clarity it provides, and helps me really expand my sound. I'm in a duo, and this really helps my bass fill in space. Defintely makes a good setup sound better.
Support:
Never needed them
Overall:
Like I said, I didn't know what I wanted to improve my sound, but I am amazed at what this pedal does for me. I can't imagine anything having as much impact, for even double or triple the money, so this one has earned a place in my gig bag.
