I use it in several ways; to push my guitar tubeamp into breakup; to equalize my tone; to warm up and boost my synth; and for drive-stacking, running an EHX Big Muff or Proco Rat 2 into it, it's great for adding some mids to Muffs. Also I use it for clean playing. Everything just sounds better through this pedal, so I have it on most of the time. Also, the print and gold finish looks classy. I used the EHX Soul Food before this, and this sounds much better, fuller, not so nasal, and has more options to sculpt your tone, so you can add more drive or bass if you need it. Build quality seems solid all around, and I love that it has top-mounted jacks to save space. Also, it has a small footprint compared to most Clones. My only minor complaint is that the switch for buffered or true bypass is on the side of the pedal, which isn't good if this is placed tight against another pedal on your board. Apart from that a great product from mr. Wampler
