This Japanese boutique pedal is indeed a great and agressive distortion with endless feedback. This pedal is also in The Edge's (U2) rig and he uses it for example in the live version of UNTILL THE END OF THE WORLD, completely at the end of the song where he plays the outro solo (while Bono is on the floor kicking Edge's Les Paul Goldtop guitar - during the Elevation tour).
Good Points: Excellent distortion/overdrive with lots of tone, feedback and... balls. Well built.
Bad Points: Sensitive on/off switch.
Price Paid: US$200.00

This pedal has an exellent, gravely distortion. The EQ is very usefull as the bass control adds an absurd amount of low-end to your signal! I'd recomend using this to distort any instrument, as it generates very fucked up, but surprisingly clear tones. I often use this pedal purely for its EQ (for boosting frequencies). It also generates beautifly thick feedback. I'd recomend it to anyone needing to add a warm drive to pretty much any signal.
Good Points: Gravely, thick drive. Preserves clarity of sound source. Nice EQ.
Bad Points: pretty fragile build if triggering it with your foot.
