How much did you purchase this item for? 80 bucks
Where did you purchase this item? Local guitar shop
Is this item new or used? New

Features:
Level, Hi, Low and Morph controls. Morph changes what kind of distortion it is.

Construction:
Built like a rock. Circuit board is often loose though.

Sound: Very papery and bad. There is too much gain, and there is no gain control! This can be overcome by tweaking the volume guitar on your guitar but it is still pretty bad. Morph knob has a lot of versatility, all the way down, it is extremely high gain with a lot of mids, think the first couple seconds of the Darkness' I Believe in a Thing Called Love. Halfway pumped, you get an oversaturated scooped tone, and all the way pumped you get a NuMetal like sound.

Ease of Use: Easy to use.

Reliability: Circuit board became disconnected often.

Overall: Not a good idea. I returned it. If you want one of the Digitech X-Series distortions, get the tone driver.

How much did you purchase this item for? 100 bucks
Where did you purchase this item? Musiciansfriend
Is this item new or used? New

Features: Level, high, low, morph. The morph knob is like a weak source gain knob

Construction: The only good thing about this pedal

Sound: Really cold and dry. Would be good for speed or extreme metal, but for anything else it sucks. No warmth whatsoever.

Ease of Use:Well, it's hard to get a good tone out of it, but that's just cause it's not that good of a pedal.

Reliability: Eats up batteries, otherwise solid.

Overall: Don't buy this pedal unless you are in a speed metal band.

Experience Level: 4 years.
