Ace!!!

Great pedal, appears deceptively simple but does a lot for your sound by pushing your amp. Many online reviews say 'it simply makes your amp sound better', I agree. As valuable to me in my setup as drives & fuzzes in higher price range. On the preamp control between 10&12 o'clock it adds some subtle eq & harmonics, past twelve o'clock adds more treble & compression. Boost can level out the signal or push preamp at lower volume, very usefull addition. If lost, stolen or broken, I would buy this again.

Great warm sound

I use this pedal at the end of my pedalboard. Originally to spice up the reverbs and delays. The sound is warmer and fuller than before in every sense, specially with single coils.

The preamps pot is just changing the character and the Boost increasing the volume. The preamp though is where the magic happens. At 1~3 its really rich and beautiful.

No cons, as it's doing exactly what it's intended to do. If you have an amp that you lo e and don't want to change that sound this might not be for you, it does colour the sounds but, in my opinion, for good. I use a Vox ac15 and this gives it body without changing the character too drastically.
