Sound
This is the best overdrive pedal bar none. Of course, overdrive and distortion is very subjective depending on your picking technique, how hard or soft touch you have and what amp you're using. However, this pedal, for me, is the absolute best. I have owned the Fulldrive, DistortionPro, Rat, OD-9 OD-808, TS-9, Variadrive, and the Tube Factor. This one is the smoothest and most versatile of any of them. Plus if you turn the gain down to zero, it works as a fat boost. Amazing!
