This little guy is a must have for your pedal board. Let's start with the price: under ? 30!!! Just amazing. When I took the pedal into my hands and checked all the buttons and the way it's made, it felt like a ? 100 pedal. When I hooked it up to my Fender 68 Classic Reverb deluxe amp I felt like it made the amp "complete". This is the kind of distortion pedal that actually "works" with an amp like mine. The distortion is solid, yet not as massive a your typical Marshall distortion, which I also love. If at one extreme you have Marshall distortion and at the other extreme this pedal, a fuzz pedal would be right in the middle. I'd recommend this pedal to all guitar players that are a fan of vintage, 60ies, early 70ies distortion. Why pay more?
