Feature:
features that are for the vintage and tone-minded. NOt for the shred heads that just want fuzzy distortion. Tone gurus....you guys better sit up and listen to this pedal.

Quality:
Built like a Sherman Tank!

Value:
cheap as dirt and great tone!

Desirability:
kinda funny looking gold color but ya know it has to match the name cuz you cant have an Austin Gold pedal and it be purple or something :)

Sound:
i play a gibson sg standard through a Mesa Boogie Mark 1 combo and this pedal is awesome. I run it with the drive set wide open and it gives me a Peter Frampton tone that you have to hear to believe. I love the transparent nature and bite of this pedal yet it is really smooth and full. This thing kicks any Ibanez Tubescreamer out the door and for HALF THE PRICE! Thanks Rocktron for an awesome pedal!

Support:
I say the best cuz they make products that DONT NEED CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Overall:
chunk the rack system get a good tube amp, an Austin Gold, and kick tone out for miles!
