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".

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.

if you can't make this thing sound good with the slightest bit of knob twiddling, i'd hate to eat your cooking.

solid, these folks make roadworthy equipment that is made to last.

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.

i can't imagine a better group of people, prompt and informative email responses, a sense of humor and polite.

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.

once the 12ax7 warms up i could get it to sound comparible to a fender amp

simple, nothing to lose sleep over, but effective

very simple and straight forward

it is constructed well with metal not plastic

very good for what we're selling it for

cant really judge, i just use it at work

i really do...in an erotic sort of way
