Good if you like it dirty

JoshuaTree 03.01.2018

Bought one of these a while back and ended up selling it because I don't use this much distortion.
The built quality is very good and the functionality is simple but is just too "hairy" for me.
Too much gain and I could never get a clear tone out of this.
I like a gain pedal that can play low if I want it to.
If you're into my line of thought this is not the pedal for you.
On the other hand if you are looking for a heavy gain pedal, this might be the one for you.

Great tubescreamer

JohanJK 05.05.2021

I use this pedal primarily as a gain stage for my AMT R2 pedal. It really adds harmonic content without making it sound muddy. Although the difference with my maxon OD808 is small, it is distinct and I use them both in a different way. Whereas the OD808 is perfect to brighten and crack up a slightly overdriven and clean sound, this one is a perfct companion for more saturated sounds.
Build like a tank and looks good.

Nice but a bit dull and noisy

Wilbury 10.05.2017

Basically, it is a good generic-sounding overdrive/distortion pedal. But I found the sound to be a bit dull, lacking lows and highs. Also, it seemed a little noisy, but comparable to a similar pedal by Boss.

So, if you have a packed pedalboard, this effect could add some new colour to your palette. But if you want just one distortion/overdrive pedal, maybe look for a more versatile and rich-sounding option.

Not the tones you want.

DamasDim 22.12.2022

This pedal might lure people who want something like a TS but with maybe more gain on tap. As an MXR pedal it is very robust and good quality.

The sound however I found to be unusable in mostly every setup I tried.
The pedal introduces a muddy and fat overdriven sound, that is neither nicely compressed and saturated, nor rich harmonically.
Even at minimum gain settings it colours the sound 100% with kind of an unpleasant hard clipping distortion. Maybe someone could use this sound as a main rhythm sound for 80s-90s rock/metal.
Also it could be used to push your dirty amp to saturation.
It is possible that with expensive valve amps this pedal could result in something better.
