Feature:
The Hot Head has the Low and High knobs which makes it soo freaking easy to find your tone...and the gain...oh the gain is so sweet.

Quality:
This thing can take a beating. It's all metal, and the construction is super solid.

Value:
I don't think you can find a better distortion pedal...and even if you could you would still want this on your pedalboard.

Desirability:
Once you play on it you realize that this is the pedal you want. No questions, and its orange...i love orange.

Sound:
The thing can produce some sweet tones...basicly everything you need to play rock music. Hardcore? This can handle it if you turn the mid down on your amp...Punk? Oh yeah.....This thing can crank it out and is more versital tone wise than the Boss DS-1. This is almost essential to any pedalboard...If you play with it for like 5 minutes you'll find your tone..no problem.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them yet because this thing is sturdy.

Overall:
I will play on this thing until I die or lose an arm.

Feature:
THis has a wide range of features from jazz/country to hard rock. If you know how to use the mixer, it will come in handy.

Quality:
This product is Made of high quality thick steal. I dropped it so many times. nothin happens.

Value:
Great price. AMAZING!

Desirability:
Looks nice. feels nice, and has a nice rubber grip on the bottom for the stage.

Sound:
This is an awesome pedal. it is one of the best and cheapest overdrive pedals you can find. Dont waste your money on a DS-2. It sounds The Same! I compared them at the store!

Ease of Use:
Easy to use. No problems.

Support:
NO

Overall:
I dont Think I will ever get a different overdrive pedal unless i need 2 for other sounds on my pedalboard.

Feature:
ANALOG PEDAL! gotta love that, has a Level knob, low, hi and gain

Quality:
Solid Metal Built, don`t think it will break up any time soon

Value:
It has a top notch price gotta tell u that

Desirability:
Gotta love the Orange colour :)

Sound:
I actually made a kinda like Michael Angelo Batio sound, itz brilliant. I`m using the pedal before a DOD 250 modded and it sounds killer

Ease of Use:
U just have to use the gain with your own taste

Overall:
what the heck...a great peadal

Feature:
4 Control knobs is enough to get you started.

Quality:
Good heavy piece. The wieght and the rubber base, make it not so easy to kick around.

Value:
A fantastic value. $40 is a samll price to pay for a such a great pedal.

Desirability:
Hot Head! I you turn up the level and the gain, your amp will burn.

Sound:
You get a lot of really great sounds out of this thing - without muddying up your attack.

Support:
No dealings yet. Digitech does give you a 6-year warranty though.

Overall:
Well built. Great price. Great Value. Try it out.

Feature:
The best thing about this distortion pedal is that it has two knobs to alter your tone: A high, and a low. And aside from that, there are two more to control the power of yor tone: the level, and the gain. Altogether, this makes it a very versatile pedal. Set the low at 3 o'clock, the high at 12, and the gain at zero, you get a wonderful boost. Set the low at 3'oclock, high at 1, and gain at 11, you get an amazing crunch.

Quality:
There is only one thing I didn't like in this pedal (and all other digitech stomps, for that matter). Aesthetically speaking, the finish is perfect. But there are a couple of things I noticed when using it, and opening the latch for battery access. First, you have to step on it deeper than you step on Boss pedals to switch it, but it is not that bad. Next, when you unlatch the battery access, you will notice a .9cmX.9cm smoothedged square hole in the lower left corner, and from there, you will already see the green semiconductor (the chipset itself), making it exposed to dust. Maybe it's just me. Personally, I hope digitech will redesign it to keep its contents vacuum packed, and safe from dust and corrosion.

Value:
Great sound. Yet, very cheap! It is a must have.

Desirability:
I need this pedal. I've scrapped my other distortion pedal for this. From the moment I saw it, I knew it was the distortion I've been looking for.

Sound:
This stomp really captures the nature of the music I play. I do riffs from blues to modern rock, from jazz to alternative, and this pedal never let me down. Think of it as a Boss DS1(Distorion) placed after a Boss GE-7(Equalizer). Use it as boost, or just full hard-on distortion!

Support:
Though I think it should be redesigned to make it more dependable quality-wise, I haven't had any problems with my pedal yet. I have two digitechs, they've been with me for a just few months now. I have yet to see its durability.

Overall:
If I lost this pedal, I'd definitely get another one I I lost it. I'd even buy another one as a spare!

Feature:
This pedal is sweet, i just wish it had a mid control too, still sweet though.

Quality:
a very well made pedal, replacing the batteries is kind of weird, but nothing wrong with it.

Value:
Zzounds offers the lowest price anywhere.

Desirability:
This pedal was my very first pedal. I didn,t know what to expect. I got it, and the Hot Head is Great. I really like the orange color. =)

Sound:
This pedal has great sound. from subtle over drive, to screaming distortion, this pedal has it all.

Ease of Use:
at first, just use the suggested settings, then as you get used to it, tweak it and find your own awesome sound.

Overall:
I doubt I will ever find my "perfect" distortion pedal, but the Digitech Hot Head may be as close as i'll ever get.

Feature:
Normal controls, nothing special but the two bass and treble nobs are better than just one tone nob.

Quality:
For 40 dollars its good and tough. Its heavy and feels soilidly built.

Value:
Its cheap and good

Desirability:
Looks fine, silly name but its got the little tank look. Its good for the money, obviously for 70 or more dollars there are better.

Sound:
This is a very solid pedal for 40 dollars. I have used many kinds and find this nice and versatile. Its plenty heavy for most music(maybe not 80's metallica, but close) and has more control than the DS-1 Boss. I was told the Hot Head is a copy of the DS-1(another good pedal).But unlike the DS-1 it has a boss and treble nob. I have a strat, les paul and tele and sounds nice, especially with humbuckers. IF you like softer music or jazz this may be a little too much, its not a tube or overdrive simulator.

Support:
don't know

Overall:
I will most likey keep it. i may look for a softer overdrive petal to go along with it but its a solid petal. I've owned a boss ds-1, the boss metal one, an ibanez, a rat and a few others. Its comparable in quality and sound.

Feature:
i love the gain and high knobs.

Sound:
I love this product. It really does make yuor amp sound like a giant marshall atack.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use.

Feature:
not a lot of features on it but if you ply around with the low and high knobs you can get some cool sounds

Quality:
its not that the pedal is bad but it eats up bateries like crazy, i would give it 30 or 40 min before you have to replace the bateries. deffinatly get the power supply for it and plug it in so there is no worries about when it is going to die out.

Value:
the boss pedal is the same price but this is definatly the better pick. i would expect this product to be atleast $60 or $70 so its a ggod buy

Desirability:
its a cool pedal... looks good. its nice and small so it fits anywere but hey what ever happened to music not image.

Sound:
sounds great but its hard to get a good sound with out a lot of feedback

Support:
didnt need... it but im sure there cool

Overall:
good product

Feature:
The four knobs gives theis pedal alot of versatility which I liked.

Quality:
It's made of metal what more can I say it's tough.

Value:
No I would rather get an effects pedal or a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal.

Desirability:
It looks good its orange and hot head is written in flames it looks cool. Also the digitech logo is written on the rubber.

Sound:
Its got good sound but it seems like I could get the same distortion from my amp. There are definately better pedals out there.

Ease of Use:
Its easy to get good sound from this just set the knobs its pretty simple. Also the pedal comes with a book that has settings for certain sounds.

Support:
I didn't get the warranty. The Digitech website has recordings of this and other digitech pedals you can listen to.

Overall:
I have had it for two months or so, I think I will return it and get a Boss DS-1.
