This pedal rocks! It has just the right sound that you can play anything with it, from Metallica, to light "Gain" songs like Green Day stuff, or even Eric Clapton's "Cocaine".
It's worth every penny, so don't hesitate! I'm never givin' up mine!

Its a great pedal for anyone who wants awesome distortion or just a little extra crunch for those riffs and bridges. A must-have pedal from a must-have company.

this is better than boss distortion and most any fuzz box. it is both bassy and trebley, so you can go from playing rhythm to lead without switching pedals or pickups.

Feature:
The lock in button comes in very useful for live situations. The activation light could be made a litte bigger as it is hard to see in certain lighting conditions.

Quality:
Well built, in strong metal casing. My only problem with this pedal is the circuitry noise.

Value:
I think BOSS have a better pedal in the DS-1. I dont think this quite lives up the standards on the DS-1 but its well on the way.

Desirability:
I have it hooked up to my zoom 707 multi-effect processor, it is perfect putting these together, as the zoom and a range very nice phaser and flange effects, which can be modfied with extensivly with this pedal

Sound:
There is way to much natural noise coming off the circuitry which nakes it very difficult for good quality recording. (Speaking from experience)

Overall:
I choose this pedal for its easy to use preference, but is not ideal for recording. I am currently looking for a new pedal to do that, tho this is a very good live situation pedal.

ibanez with the locking controls was awesome. This pedal has more overdrive than distortion but it was my first pedal

Ibanez makes great pedals with the lock in but this pedal isn't as good as boss distortion
