Feature:
the 15v powersupply is a little odd but necessary to get the proper voltage across the tube, sorry kids, no daisy chaining with a "one spot". Other than that it's pretty simple, like an old amp with a mid-boost and filter. the midboost is pretty cool for single note runs and the filter helps you find the right balance between the pedal and your amp. Not a bells and whistles machine, but it's got what you need.
Quality:
solid, these folks make roadworthy equipment that is made to last.
Value:
for about $20 more than a new tube screamer and much more versatile, this is a steal, solid, made by people who care about what they do and it sounds amazing.
Desirability:
i have it. what it lacks in "boutique pedal flash" it makes up for in sound, personally i think the "tone bone" name is a bit tacky, i never was one for "woman tone" and junk like that but guitar-speak aside, it's a simple great overdrive/distortion.
Sound:
this box has made playing guitar at modest levels enjoyable again. It covers ground from a "classic" overdriven amp to pretty thick higher gain settings. I personally like playing chords with it in the low gain setting with the gain knob at around 2:00. this sounds natural, quite similar to every pedal manufacturer's proverbial "fully cranked vintage amp".
Ease of Use:
if you can't make this thing sound good with the slightest bit of knob twiddling, i'd hate to eat your cooking.
Support:
i can't imagine a better group of people, prompt and informative email responses, a sense of humor and polite.
Overall:
the only thing that could make this more inticing to me would be to add another channel to it, oh wait that's the tri-mode. thanks radial.
