absolutely THE best sounding pedal that i have used .. i literally could not tell the difference from my tube amp ,.. behaves beautifully according to the guitar s volume ... this pedal can do everything from country crunch , to rock and roll . all the way to almost metal .. i think , this pedal would be the perfect dist pedal for anyone using a solid state amp , as then , we get all the cleans beautifully , with a lovely tube distortion when needed
