Features: Beautiful orange colour, useful for finding it in the night (whatever ...), 3 switches, great range of sound ...

Ease of Use: Learn how to use it in 2 minutes.

Reliability: Very good ... but also buy an ac adaptor, cause batteries won't last long with that one.

Features: Distortion pedal, 1 tone 1 volume 1 distortion knob.

Construction: You could kill a dog with it.....built like a brick..

Sound: Very verstatile...from crunching heavy metal to punk...I can get any kind of distortion I need. A llot more effective with a quality amp.

Ease of Use: Simple....takes seconds to change. Just a tone and distortion knob are all you need to use to get a whole range of different sounds. Then you just change the volume accordingly to how much affect you want the sound to have through your amp.

How much did you purchase this item for? I think 40 bucks
Where did you purchase this item? Local store
Is this item new or used? New

Features: Tone, level, disortion

Construction: Good

Sound: It has a really good sound to it actually, especially through my all tube fender amp, I can get from a sweet bluesy tone to a pretty decent metal tone, depending on the guitar I'm using.

Ease of Use: Extremely easy, 3 knobs.

Reliability: Really reliable if you have an adapter, but with a 9v you're gonna lose the battery in a matter of hours

Overall: Great pedal, especially for the price tag, very versatile

How much did you purchase this item for? $40
Where did you purchase this item? Guitar Center
Is this item new or used? New

Features: Tone, Level, and distortion knobs. Chassis is painted bright orange.

Construction: Built very solid. BOSS makes great pedals.

Sound: From Blues, Alternative, Grunge, Rock, and light metal. You may need the metal zone for real metal especially if you're playing a guitar like a strat with single coil or mini humbuckers.

Ease of Use: Very easy! You plug everything in, adjust the 3 knobs to your taste, and play.

Reliability: I imagine this pedal will last a lifetime if not abused. Like I mentined it's a very solid piece of equipment. Definatly buy the power supply, the 9v batteries don't last long.

Overall: It's a great pedal and for the price it's an awesome value as well. Out of a 5 I give it a 4.5 just because I can't quite get the tone I want out of it.

Features: Comes in a lovely shade of orange has a tone, volume and distortion level control.

Sound: Anywhere from light kind of bluesy distortion to thrashing distortion.

Ease of Use: For my band and just for fun sometimes.

Reliability: Let's just say you could accidently knock it off Mt. Everest and like someone said before''chances are it would probably work still.''

Overall: 10/10
