great pedal, Built with attention to details, best suited to blues/Rock.

Let me start off saying that I love this pedal. this is my first distortion pedal. I have been playing for 10 years now and I never thought I needed an extra pedal on top of the distortion my Fender Frontman amp gives me. Well I was wrong - you can't compare the level of control this little baby has in comparison to the amp distortion. The sound you get out of the pedal is cleaner and more accurate if you will. This pedal can really boost up the sound and can act as a great booster as well. You can see a lot of thought went into designing this pedal. The knobs are setup in such a way that you get resistance when turning them thereby making them more accurate and sensitive. The stomp-lock looks like a cool thing to have if you do live gigs (Which I don't). The only thing I was a wee bit disappointed was the fact the the saturated mode wasn't really that heavy metal in it's sounds - I would say it's more like a pumped up Overdrive sound. Tried other pedals - MXR,Ibanez but this has more control and better sound IMHO. I'm not really into heavy metal so I'm not that bothered about that. So to sum up - great pedal, nicely built with attention to details & best suited to blues/Rock (Not Heavy metal). P.S. saved this bit for last so I won't look superficial - I love the look of this pedal: lovely futuristic orange with a great blue LED that is really noticeable in the dark.
