Not for everyone

It's a great weird pedal, but you have to be interested in experimentation to get the most out of this pedal.

I great challenge

Great pedal but it is a challenge to make something music with it. It's just amazing at making over the top crazy sounds.

Amazing

If you want to go "over" this is the pedal. A journey trough the unknnow.

Infinite possibility.

If you give him a bit of time he'll give you a lot of new sounds

Unique Pedal

This is an incredibly unique pedal that can be used with a variety of instruments to give a harsh, electronic flare to any style of playing. I have used the pedal with my electric guitar, electric bass, drum machine and sequenced analog synthesiser all with excellent results. I have not yet used the pedal with my electric keyboard, but from my usage to date I am sure it will work well in this instance too. It works well in a chain of pedals (as long as it is placed in the start of the chain) and I find it goes particularly well with some subtle delay.

Pros:

Excellent design and quality.

Intuitive and easy to use.

Wide range of sounds and options.

Works across multiple instruments.

Using the square wave only works as a great fuzz pedal.

Cons:

Not exactly needed in all styles of music.

The tracking of very low notes on the bass guitar especially can be a little off, but this is only sometimes and not that noticeable.

Overall I would recommend this pedal to those who want to turn their instruments into chugging, synth-driven, corrupted madness (or those who just want a pedal that offers something unique).
