Sound
This thing sounds cool. It can be like something you've heard before...as well as nothing you've ever heard...ever...it emits a widely cariable RICH FUZZ. The blending capability is awesome, cause you NEVER lose the quality low end or bite of your bass...unless you want to submerge it deep into the torch...then just turn the blend knob all the way and you're taking off into a land of very deep, and very rich FUZZ.
Features
I wish it came with a power supply, but get the Dunlop DC Brick..it's awesome, and it'll power everything you've got. I gave it a 9, cause it seems that the knobs are SO variable...that a little goes a long way....which is cool, but if you're memory is like mine...and you can't remember where you like the knobs set. You can stop and go boom ! Just kidding...no boom..but you get my drift.
Ease of Use
It takes a day to get it. 1 day.
Quality
Built like a MFing TANK !
Value
I wish it came with a power supply since it needs 18 volts...but no pedals do, so why should it ? Zzounds has both the regular 18 volt one as well as the DC brick that I mentioned ealier.
Manufacturer Support
never needed it
The Wow Factor
I think it's cool as s**t !
