Great Pedal
I was looking for something to OD a Fender 68 CDR, and this fit the bill. Nice lower mid peak (not like a MIAB), and not too many harmonics to make it sound fuzzy. It takes an input boost (Timmy) well for when I need more gain. One thing I did do though was mod the input cap value to increase the low end a bit.

Awesome pedal
My expectations were high for this product. I can say it not only surpassed but truly has given a new definition to my sound.

This and a TU 3 tuner are the only pedals I use.
This pedal can provide cream and chime to your tone, perfectly transparent. It’s super quiet and both volume and touch sensitive.I leave it on all the time (it sits on top of my amp, no pedal board) and run in front of a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1x12, master amp volume on 8 (to get the 6L6’s breathing), pre amp gain on 5 (I prefer a cleaner tone), and then use the volume pot on the pedal as a master volume. Both focus and tone are set at max.Not high gain, but if you play anything other than metal, this is a great pedal. Google “Earl T and the Tattered Hearts” and listen on any of the streaming services, it’s used on every guitar track, rhythm and solos.

Smells like smoke, or chemicals...
I'll start by saying this - the pedal SOUNDS AWESOME. But, with that being said, this is really weird. I got the first one, opened the box and was immediately repulsed by the strong smell of smoke, or burnt something. The pedal worked fine, but it literally stunk up the room so bad, I exchanged it for another one. The second one comes, I open it up, same thing. I can't explain it.. They are sold by Amazon, so its not like it was in some guy's house that was on fire or something... Anyway, I never wrote this in a pedal review before: sounds great, smells horrible.

中〜上級者向けのペダルという印象
踏むとホワホワした倍音が付加されるような感じで、とてもなめらかでクリアな歪みだと思います。音にいやらしさやわざとらしさが無く、アンプっぽいというのも納得できます。ただしアンプやケーブル、バッファなどの環境や、タッチのニュアンスなどのプレイングがある程度しっかりしている方でないとこのペダルを活かし切ることは難しいと感じたので、そういう意味では中〜上級者向けなんだと思います。

Amazing Tone
That’s what the real definition of the perfect toneeeeeeeee!

色気のある歪み
ピッキングニュアンスとかレンジ広くてしっかり掴むので、 ジョンメイヤーなど好みな方にはピッタリだと思います

ニュアンスひろいまくりの歪みペダル
動画サイトで見てて衝動買いしてしまいました。ハムでもシングルでも使っていますがシングルの方がニュアンスでやすいかなと思います。弾く強さによってクリーンっぽいところから歪む感じまで繊細なプレイできます。アルペジオ、コードどちらもOK。繋いで色々と試行錯誤するだけでアイディア沸いてきますよ。
