Best rock solif construction, as usual TC-Electron makes.
Value:
Not cheap, but worth every penny. Best pedal so far.
Desirability:
Great Sex appeal. It's a solid construction, with black beauti appearance. Quality is the biggest argument, against japanse plastic trash.
Sound:
It's the best sounding distortion pedal I ever had. It sounds like a real british valve amp. From low distortion up to screaming distortion, - everythings possible. No harsh transistor edge. Speaker simulator is so great. It sounds like a real speaker. Unbelievable. !! Sounds perfect for homerecording too. Very nice on stage in conjunction with your favourite amp. You can disable the speaker sim if you like.

Good support site. Had no problems yet with it. Mine is 1/2 year old.
Overall:
I'd never play another pedal than this one.

"nice overdrive, plenty of gain, remote switchable, what's not to like?"
Feature:
The best thing (other than the sound) is the flexibility of this pedal with the included remote switches. If you have a midi pedal board with relay capability (like the behringer FCB1010) or an effx rack with relays like the TC electronic G-major, you can remotely switch this thing on and off (as well as the boost function) along with your patches. Which more pedals came with this capability. My complaints: the boost function works only with the overdrive engaged, not on its own. Also, it cannot use batteries, but they include a power supply.
Quality:
been using it for 3 months, and so far so good. Very solidly built, the knobs feel sturdy. I also own their G-Major, and seems to be as good.
Value:
It is a tad expensive, but considering all the flexibility its remote switching gives you, is like having 2 pedals in one.
Desirability:
unique in its versatility (did a hear "remote switching"!!).
Sound:
Sounds real, organic, pretty much tube distortion. Not you metal head/fuzz type sound, more like a growling and round british amp distortion. I use it on the clean channel of my Marshall JCM900, and is sounds just right. Dont' get me wrong, there's plenty of sustain and gain when combining the drive and boost. Also, the sound responds well to changing the volume on you guitar.
Ease of Use:
Is just a pedal, so easy enough, and all settings sound great.
Support:
I sent an email once and they answered quickly. Their support web has lots of useful info.
Overall:
If you have a way to control the switching functions of this pedal, then you should get it.
