Hot Wired V2 : Very impressed! Superb build quality and easy to use

I watched as many demos as I could find before buying this, and I was not disappointed when it arrived! It's incredibly easy to dial in a great sound as there aren't too many controls, and the "fat" boost is great for just giving a quick and simple mid boost.

The first channel is exactly as advertised, a bright and responsive bluesy overdrive that cleans up nicely when you roll off the volume and still gives plenty of sustain. The second channel didn't give quite as high gain as I was expecting, but is still plenty heavy enough for a cranked Marshall kind of sound. It's enough bite without being so much gain that you can't hear the guitar's natural tones.

I haven't experimented fully with channel stacking yet, but from first impressions it makes an amazing sound, but gets quite noisy. I'm expecting I may need a noise suppressor if it insists on hissing like it does. Otherwise, AWESOME overdrive!
