Customer Reviews
Amazon's prices are at least $10 better than the next closest (L&M in Canada) and the delivery was basically next day -- just in time for rehearsal and big show. Amazing tone and power. I personally run EH's Big Muff Pi (fuzz) behind it at times and it really brings the fuzz to life when necessary. If you're looking for a way to sculpt your tone and add some OD, get this pedal.
Une fois la bête apprivoisée ce n'est que du bonheur. Jumelée avec l'Harmonic Booster DG c'est une merveille de brutalité. Les possibilités de réglages sont énormes...d'un overdrive subtile a une distorsion très lourde et brutale. Ma Stingray sonne comme une tonne de brique a travers mon SVT. La qualité de fabrication est impeccable. Je recommande fortement.
Just what I need. Its got the perfect metal tone, but not limited to it. Could be an overdrive or a massive metal punch to the face, depending on the tones you choose!
THE PEDAL IS AWESOME! Awesome looking and the growl have so much power, while the bite is really punchy!
I love the versatility of being able to choose between the Alpha and Omega, dialling for the perfect tone.
Nasty thick tone, sweet box.
