Anybody ever use/play with an EHX Knockout?

I picked one up in a trade recently, and it's a pretty neat little pedal. Seems like an EQ/clean boost that's actually true bypass, which is damn near impossible to find. Plus, nobody ever seems to understand what exactly it is.

Near as I can tell, it's kind of a clean boost that can add lows and highs after the fact. With the 'low' and 'high' knobs on zero, the 'dry' control works like a straight-up clean boost; then, you can use the other knobs to boost pre-EQ'd lows or highs to taste. The controls seem to interact a fair amount, but after some finagling, you can pull off some cool, if basic, EQ tricks. Works well as a treble, bass or clean boost, and the 'low' control adds an awesome, eerily Big Muff-esque bottom end to a clean tone.

Anyway, it's a weird pedal with some cool, if nuanced, uses. Still not sure why EHX advertises it as some kind of turn-your-humbuckers-into-single-coils thing. I mean, yeah, it can do that if you EQ in an extreme cut to the mids, but the pedal is really capable of so, so much more. CSB, etc. Anybody ever use one?

Yeah I had one for a while, helped make my Strat sound more like an acoustic (I use this very lightly), which was cool to layer effects on. It made my SG sound more like a tele (but not quite). It certainly has its uses, but I found it worked best with the strat for a slightly different EQ sound.

I have a vintage Attack Equalizer, which the Knockout was modeled after. Cool pedal, though not one that gets a lot of use, like my Screaming Tree. They are most useful to use with my Gretsch which has TV Jones Classics and sometimes could use a little extra bite at the top.
