- This Pedal is a Gain monster. My setup includes a Dean ZX Guitar, into a Dunlop Crybaby Wah, into the Toneworks 104ds, into a Boss BF-2 flanger, into a Boss GE-7 EQ Pedal, into a Randall 100Watt Stereo Chorus G2 Series Amplifier. I hardly ever run all of these at once but for full out distortion I definately use the 104ds and GE-7. With little tweaking of the knobs, I can get a Shadows Fall kind of sound easily.
- Good Points: Very speed, thrash, death metal friendly.
- Bad Points: The only disappoints is no control of the internal nosie gate.
- Price Paid: US$52.00

- I love the *idea* of this pedal, but have to say the reality is dissapointing. It massively decreases the volume and complexity of any signal. In a feedback loop it tends to reduce everything to a high pitched whine. The cabinet resonator feature occasionaly creates some unusual noises, but not in a reproducable way. Putting it after another distortion can make some good boiling kettle sound, but then you can get that by recording a boiling kettle. Being able to save and switch between settings is a good idea, but since it's hard to get two settings which are dramatically different to each other, it's really not that useful. To be frank, a pedal with this many controls ought to be able to produce a lot more variety than this. Even when I think I'm getting something good from this, turning off the pedal reveals that the rest of the effects chain is doing something amazing. I'd stick with cheaper "metal" type distortions, if I were you.
- Good Points: Costs too much. Patch storing and switching. Pretty brushed metal top plate. Guitarists love them, so you can probably flog them easily.
- Bad Points: Weak distortion. Lack of variety. Annoing little toggle switch to access extra parameters. Sucks volume.
