This is a Boss pedal, so the quality is the best but the tone is not something I particularly like about this pedal. It has enhanced highs and lows, which really scoop the mids (which is the heart of the guitar). Some like that sound - I don't. BUT - this pedal is a modders dream. Sure - it voids your warranty, but that is not the point. Boss still uses traditional parts in this pedal (not surface mount) so it's an easy job. I settled on the IndyGuitarist (Wampler) vintage mod, but there are dozens of others that work as well. Posted by anonymous on Apr 3, 2013

This pedal is REALLY good. With the right settings, it can make any guitar sound great. You can get vintage or modern tones, a sharp punch or warm sustain, anything really. Posted by Mark on Feb 12, 2013

I hear people basing this pedal but i really cannot see why... There's tonnes of pedals out there, but seriously this is all you need unless you really want something very specific. It gives you a good distortion, or if you turn the gain lower it gives you a nice boost/crunch. Everything else is in your fingers! Posted by anonymous on Nov 14, 2012

For a basic pedal, or any pedal really, this thing produces solid, throaty punch. Offers both 9v and 110v options (wall plug sold seperate), like usual. Doesn't distort when it's not supposed to - when the pedal is off, there's no buzz or any audible indication that it is plugged in. Just a solid, affordable piece of tech.

I've had this thing for about two years, used the hell out of it. Couldn't ask anything more of it. Posted by Brandon on May 2, 2012
