Ease of Use : 5
the ease of use can be a bit hard to describe becuz although it is easy to turn knobs, it can be hard to find the eright sound with this thing. so ease of use is 5 because i had a pretty hardtime to make it sound good (which was only about halfway decent)

Sound Quality : 6
i used this pedal with my billy martin prs, into my peavey triple x half stacked. honostly, this pedal isn’t anything terribly new. it is kind of old because it sounds exactly like a big muff. this thing is basically a big muff with a different paint job. why not just buy the muff?

Reliability : 8
turns on everytime

Customer Support : 5
i called to tell them that i didn’t fall for it, and that i knew it was just a big muff in a different case, but they didn’t seem to be very friendly about it. i don’t get this. they tried to tell me mumbo jumbo about tubes and stuff, but i kept saying “very funny, i know its just a big muff.” i even pointed out that the name had muff in it. not very cleaver. i guess they wetre friendly, but they were getting a bit snappy at me.

Overall Rating : 4
for my style of hard rock/nu metal/emo (i’m in like, 4 bands) this pedal works fine, but i wish i didn’t buy it just because i already have a big muff and thats what it sounds like exactly. oh well. i dont think i would be buying a new one if it broke, got stolen, left behind “on accidnet” at a gig (i play a lot).
