Feature:
The scoop is really useful, as well as the sustain.
Quality:
As with my previous Rocktron experience, better than a boss.... it's very sturdy.
Value:
Id buy this even if they had a ts-7 for 40 bucks. This is great for shred solos.
Desirability:
It adds a "solo channel" to my single channel peavey. The Metal Planet added the second, so this would be its "third".
Sound:
This pedal is great for getting a marshall-like sound and with my vintage peavey rockmaster tube head, it sounds like a 5150 (imagine that.) The scoop is very good, and only scoops mids that still allow definition. Scooping it all the way though, makes that cheesy crate distortion sound, haha. The sustain adds a good preamp gain like distortion, where as the Metal Planet by Rocktron adds more of a Poweramp gain. This pedal as well as the Metal Planet are great alone, or together, and are both very versatile. you can cut the bass to 9 or 10 oclock, boost the treble to 1-3 oclock and get a very TS-7 sound, or get a nice percussive sound by boosting the bass to 12oclock and leaving the treble where it is. the scoop sounds good everywhere, the sustain, the level reacts like a tube amp should, etc.
This has an airy-noise to it but it isnt noisy in terms of lots of feedback. You may however have to readjust your playing to compensate poor playing habits.
Support:
I asked about what would be a good adapter to use, and they pointed me in the proper direction.
Overall:
Im sure to be satisfied by this pedal for quite awhile.
