Back to Product Information

Sound: Wow. I've come across about 3 different sounds with this pedal, usually switching my pickups and my amp settings. When I kick my amp to the overdrive setting, and choose one of the middle pickups on my guitar, you can get a blusey-crunch sound, which seems to work well with solos. Kicking my amp to clean, and selecting my bridge pickups produces a huge distortion good for rhythm. The bass and volume controls on the pedal can really give you quite a bit of feedback, which is always a good thing (unless you blow a speaker, then it sux). This is probably one of my favorite pedals, and I find myself kicking it more than is necessary. Feature: Get the power adapter. A $20 adapter will pay for itself when you consider how much it will cost you to constantly buy 9V batteries. This pedal will suck battery juice like nobody's business. Quality: The thing is constructed well. If an astronaut played guitar on the moon, this pedal would survive the conditions. When I bought this product, I was expecting something more light-weight and flimsy. It'll stay in place no matter how hard it's kicked. Value: I bought this for about 30 bux. Enough said. Manufacturer Support: No attempts for support. Never needed. The Wow Factor: Have it. Sex appeal? Well I don't want to sleep with it at all. Sound appeal? I could listen to it for quite some time without tiring of the sound. Overall: Overall, this thing is freakin' sweet.

The Wow Factor

Music Style: punk

Back to Product Information

Sound: I love this pedal. I play punk and some grunge. the sound quality for the price paid is great. In my opinion its better than most other distortion pedals I have tried. I use a Tube amp to play from and the sound is great. Feature: My pedal came with only a battery. Enough so that I didn't have to buy an adapter. Quality: My pedal has seen a lot of abuse and there are no paint scratches or markings. It continues to put out top notch tone. Value: It still doing great for the low price Manufacturer Support: haven't needed any servicing The Wow Factor: Not much for the colour personally

Back to Product Information

Sound: The sound is kinda wierd,but awesome. It sounds the same on every guitar (wierd) but it's still a good sound (awesome). You can get as much distortion as you want, or just a little. It has amazing treble and bass knobs that can make a wide array of sounds. With the distortion at max it has more feedback than you'll ever need. Quality: This pedal is as solid as a rock. It's been kicked around, left out in the rain, and used as a tool (long story) and still works perfect. Value: This thing is always between $30 and $40 bucks which is a crazy good value. Everyone should have one. Manufacturer Support: Didn't ever deal with them. The Wow Factor: The problem is it looks kinda fruity. It's purple with black spots and GRUNGE written across it but so what, spraypaint it and keep rockin. Overall: I will probably keep this pedal forever. If it gets broke or stolen there is NO question that i'll buy another one. One of my faves.
