It's a decent two channel distortion, and while it wasn't my cup of tea, I can see how someone would love it. Each channel has ridiculously named controls(bark, bite, and growl) as well as it's own boost flavor (lead & crunch, left & right respectively). Featuring two stomp switches, Bypass & Lead/Crunch and boasting about their exclusive Trans Tube Technology. Now It's not a real "brutal" distortion by any means, it's more of an overdrive meant to push your amp. The lead channel has a high boost, and the crunch channel has a low boost. So if you just use it on an amplified piece of whatever and are into the organic sound coupled with a real gritty clipping distortion, this just might be for you.
Good Points: Doesn't eat batteries like you'd expect it to. SOLID, nice heavy piece of gear, and the controls are protected, so there's really no chance of damage, but...
Bad Points: the knobs and pots are solid plastic. not heavy duty at all. Power Adapters are almost impossible to find, and the pedal is not labeled with with +/- for tip or sleeve, but luckily it's battery friendly. Not very practical considering it's weight.
