"Awsome Pedal"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Buy it.
Sound
Makes a great sound, although that obviously depends on your amp and guitar. It sounds just a good as more expensive models and I would not consider replacing it anytime soon. Its brilliant for metal and hard rock.
Features
Dist, middle, treble, bass, mid cut, level.
Ease of Use
Just plug it in and go! its straight forward to figure out how to use it although getting the barrey in for the first time can be perplexing.
Quality
Its mad almost entirely of plastic however it dosent show any signs of breaking yet. I'd prefer a metal contruction.
Value
Great value for money, It's worth alot more than its sold for.
Manufacturer Support

"Killer, And That's All I've Got To Say 'Bout That."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Wouldn't Trade it in for any other pedal.
Sound
It doesn't have sound itself, but it produces killer tones out of your amp at the turn of a knob. However, it can produce unwanted clutter and crunch at some times (very seldom)
Features
It has a Dist, High, Mid, Mid Cut, Low, and Level knobs, so you can get that perfect tone right out of the pedal itself.
Quality
It's got a plastic shell, but it can take a beating. 'Nuff Said.
Value
It's worth more than what you pay for.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't Needed It.
The Wow Factor
It's red and has a unique shape for a footpedal and has a black rubber sole for stepping on.

"This turns me on, when I turn it on! Otherwise it turns me and my sound off. Bypass it destoys."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This pedal gives you a cool sound for nothing, but there are some issues...
Sound
I think this pedal has a good metalsound, but when it comes to bypass, which for me is very important because I like to experiment with different sounds in my songs, it's not the best. I don't say it sucks, because of the price and if you're working a lot in the studio like me you can easily disconnect it for a different sound. Even if it doesn't suck it colors your sound kind of a lot... And as you might get "I can't use it live" if I don't use some kind of signalsplitter which I consider to get. And don't use too much distorsion when you're using this box, because then you'll get a viola-like solosound and the box doesn't let all you're fastplayed notes through. AND ONE LAST NOTE! This is no solopedal, but to me it solos just fine with some delay or reverb!
Features
This box has a lot of features and I have not come to point where I can't "fake" someones metalsound with this.
Ease of Use
It's very easy, just connect the guitar to in and the amplifier to out! And of course rotate the nobs until you're satisfied.
Quality
It's very plastic, but who cares if it brakes I'll get a new one.
Value
It's very chap and takes every poor guy to metalheaven!
The Wow Factor
Because of the bad bypass-features it's not the best pedal in the world.

"Heavy/Thrash/Progressive Metal, but also Blues is possible."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
If you know the right preset, you can almost achieve all kinda sounds you need from Blues to Hard Rock, Heavy/Thrash Metal and Soloing. It gives powerful sound with amplifiers and loud speakers. Generally a reverb/delay effect is crucial.
Features
Just controlled changeable and flexible distortion.
Ease of Use
It's not easy to use at all, you gotta know what exactly do you want from it.
Quality
It's entirely plastic, strong though, the knobs work well and it looks neat.
Value
You get more than you paid for.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed 'em.
The Wow Factor
Exotic red and black colored, marks and writings are white, yes pretty cool.
