Impression:
This is by far the most transparent pedal I have used to date. The best and only way to describe it, is that it takes the sound of your amp and gives it more gain without coloring or removing any of the amps original characteristics with a controllable volume boost. I found this pedal to feel more like a class A boost that offers the player (that's you) the ability to dial in more grit/saturation with your boost -- but at the same time you can use this pedal to get that "wide open" screaming sound at lower volumes without losing any of the amps original tone with it's simple but elegant two knob design.
This pedal would make a great addition to any pedalboard as your last in-the-chain OD/boost. If you have a vintage or one channel amp that just sounds its best when pushed hard, or if you are in need of a channel boost with separate gain and volume controls -- this is your pedal.
My advice:
Buy it -- this is a very simple but necessary addition to any pedalboard for the guitarist seeking uncolored grit/saturation with separate volume control.
