Firstly I'm into experimental mad sounds etc & like roaring chords to jingling melodies. So i really like & play all music.
I've used this through a few amps solid state & valve. It sounded best through my american tele & a small randal practice amp ???!! Through my fender twin & mesa amp sounded dire. Through my marshall amp it sounded ok but i really had to work on the amps tone nobs to get anything worthwhile.
I bought this cause i thought it would give me an over the top sound, but to be quite honest this pedal really doesn't do it. The ibanez fz-7 sounds mad in comparison. I was trying to emulate some graham coxon crazyness but failed. The Proco "you dirty rat" is a much better alley to go down. I wouldn't mind if i could get some usable sound eg it isn't good enough to be good and it isn't bad enough to be good. It's really just dated and does not have the impact i was hoping for.
Reliability/Durability:
It hasn't failed yet - i had it for 3 months, the dod switching system is very cheap feeling. It feels as if it will break at any minute. The jack sockets are mounted directly onto the circuit board which is bad news - any real mechanical shock to the jacks & your shocking the circuit board.
Ease of Use:
The controls do not reflect what impact they have on the sound but pretty straight forward really.
Customer Support:
Haven't dealt with them but have asked them a few tech questions about future releases & they have been really friendly.
Overall Rating:
I sold this ages ago on ebay, i have a ton of effects & lots of amps & guitars. I tried lots of combinations to get a sound that was so bad it sounded good & so good it sounded good. I failed, the "Buzz box" is a more usable and fun pedal to use so i'd try and find one of those second hand. Over all if your looking for a graham coxon sound or mad sounds buy a proco "you dirty rat" it's a little more over the top that the model coxon uses & you can get most of his sounds with it.
