Sound Quality:
I primarily use this device with an older strat (stock) and a variety of mid-60's Fender low wattage amplifiers, (deluxe, vibroluxe). The effect is quiet and quite lovely to hear with this gear. I keep the OD on at about 8 to 9 o'clock. This gives an almost tweed-like rasp to the strat. The treble is kept at appx. 10:00 while the bass is set at roughly 11:00. This sounds great and really sings with my neck pick-up. Occasionall,y I'll use a Plex for delay, and perhaps a touch of compression (very minimal) from a Maxon compressor. The effects, bt the way, are looped through a Pedalman two-channel loop box. I love the sound of this device, (the OD), even at low volumes. It's provides a nice balance and contrast with the clean sound of the amp and guitar. I have changed tubes throughour the years-right now I'm running it with A NOS JAN Phillips 12 AX7. Sounds superb.
Reliability/Durability:
Gosh-I've had this for about twenty years-bought it new. I still have the direction booklet. I've never had a problem with it although somewhere along the line I changed the plug for some reason or another. (Those darn seventies...) Other than that-stress free and perfect reliably.
Ease of Use:
The Chandler Tube Overdrive is a simple to use and efficient overdrive unit. The output and drive knobs increse or decrease volume and distortion levels respectively. The bass and treble knobs dial in tonal frequencies.

Overall Rating:
I play an amalgam of styles. After thirty years, I still like this box. I know it's not boutique, or perhaps even fashionable, but I've learned to trust my ears and this box speaks to me in a very musical, sonorous manner. I highly recommend it.
