Sound Quality:
I usually have the drive and tone cranked all the way up for a warm fuzzy tone, but with the tone at 1 o'clock you can get a thick grunge sound. I have also experimented with the drive down for a bluesy crunch.
Reliability/Durability:
It is well constructed. The box is steel which made it interesting coming through the airport. I like that the 9 volt battery ports are just two copper bits sticking out the casing rather than the flimsy plastic ports connected with a wire. On more than one occasion I have left it on for hours but the battery did not die.
Ease of Use:
it has three knobs: level, drive, and tone. Not exactly tough to figure out.
Customer Support:
I bought it in Poland when I was studying there and haven't had any problems with it so far.
Overall Rating:
I tend to play harder rock and this pedal suits me perfectly. I have an older tube amp and the lead channel wasn't the right sound and this pedal has filled my want of fuzz just fine. It is made in Poland and I would be very angry if someone stole it because it is integral to my sound and I have never seen them in the US.
