Being a Boss pedal, it does colour the tone a bit and its not true bypass but the pedal doesnt disappoint in any field. I personally play a lot of diverse genres from bollywood, soft rock, blues and even djent and this pedal has never let me down. For a genre like djent, the guitar needs a boost at 1.4 Khz and even though it doesnt have that particular frequency, it has a 1.6 Khz frequency band, which can be utilised at a real practical level. For blues it provides the best frequency response, efficiently filling up the midranges for the lovely Joe Bonamassa and Stevie Ray Vaughn tones. All in all, a great pedal and perfect value for money.
