Is this item new or used? Used.

Features: Level, two color mix, distortion.
Construction: Solid.

Sound: You can get some heavy sounds out of this, turn the left color mix to the right about 3/4's and the right color mix left 3/4's and dist. About 3/4's to the right and that’s a heavy sound.

Ease of Use: Very easy - my first pedal.

Reliability: Great, one of the jack inputs has started to play up but considering its age it’s pretty good.

Overall: Great pedal I recommend to anyone after a truly heavy metal sound.
