This pedal gets me closer to the sound of a Plexi amp than any pedal or amp modeler I've ever used and I've used plenty. This pedal has become my "preamp", and my amp now acts as a power amp that goes to a load box/speaker simulator, to my Intellifex and finally to my Carvin headphone amp (I live in an apartment). This pedal doesn't employ a speaker sim like their Character pedals, and for some reason I think that factors in as why it sounds better than the British Character pedal. I set the gain a lot lower than those guys on the demo's to get that light crunch that is so hard to get on other pedals/digital amps. I also turn down the Tone and raise the Punch controls and this gets me that Page sound.I almost never touch the Hot switch and control, I just don't need more gain than the classic side. One thing I don't like is the controls are to touchy. Turn them just a smudge and it can change the sound a lot. This means if your settings get moved by accident, you can have a hard time getting them back. For someone in my position this really fits the bill.
