Good match for my Mexican Strat. Overdrive isn't too overpowering and can be set to a range of levels. Plenty of gain available if needed. Excellent for the price.

I like it, simple and adjustable overdrive

I use it right after my reverb pedal, this isn't entirely feature rich but does what you want.

You'll get a creamier sort of overdrive which is easy on the ears and doesn't 'yell/shout' as much as the other overdrive. The tone control boosts the mids I believe and is great on my Vox Pathfinder10.

It allows me to have a rock tone at low volumes which won't disturb my neighbours but can be cranked up and give you some metal-esque distortion aswell.

You won't get a decent ts clone for less

Build like a tank and decent compared to the ts, it does what is should do for a fraction of the price.

You cand get nice tones with both humbuckers and single coils, i recommend this pedal if you are on a budget like me.

Cheap and simple but nice sound, works well

So this is a very affordable distortion pedal, but I like the sound and it works well with other pedals. I've got other more expensive distortion pedals which I don't use. This one has a place in my pedalboard.

For instance I've got the mojomojo from the same brand which is more expensive and has 2 eq instead of 1 but it just doesn't sound good.

I think for this price it's a very good buy.
