So good. Takes some time to dial your tone in. But the difference between this pedal and not having it going into a pa is astounding. I havent used my fender tube amp since I got this pedal. It could use a xlr out and maybe a few features for more precise frequency control or a couple cab sims to chose from. But an incredible pedal for the price

Sound
The sound of this pedal is not super easy to dial in because it is so versatile. BUT! once you find what works with your set up it is hands down the best sounding alternative I have ever heard to replace an actual tube amp. I have played a fender blues deluxe for almost ten year. Since i got this pedal the amp hasn't been used.

Features
The most useful is having true tube sound in a pedal, and the eq options offer huge options in tone. The cab simulator is great, it would be nice to maybe have 2 or 3 cab options. But the one it has is really good. It would also be nice to have a XLR out for going into a PA.

Ease of Use
It is simple to see the controls and use it. But it is very sensitive and every button has a massive sound change, none are really bad. But it can take some time to find the "sweet spot" on it. Just like an amp

Quality
The casing is metal and the cage over the tubes seems very strong. The buttons feel a like flimsy. But once you find your tone that probably doesnt matter

Value… read more
This pedal is well worth the money. If it had some extra features like a few more cab sims and maybe a little more specific frequency control I'd pay over $300 for it.

Manufacturer Support
I have not dealt with their support

The Wow Factor
Amazing. The difference between this pedal and going into a PA is astounding.
