Unfortunately mine died recently (found its way into some water when it was being moved), and hopefully I'll be able to pick up another one soon. But before it met its end, it was a great pedal. I was always skeptical of it til I tried it, and while as a standalone distortion it was a little flat, if used as a lead-boost in front of a slightly 'dirty' amp it can really make your rig come alive. I used it with SG's through Marshalls, and it always gave me what I wanted. Keep the gain & tone at around 10/11 o'clock & crank the level to the max & voila! Instant solo-booster! I will certainly replace mine at the nearest opportunity, and suggest you try one out as well!
This pedal is used by John Frusciante,Kurt Cobain,and Billie Joe Armstrong.It's best for rock but can be use for metal also.I use it for grunge and punk rock.If you don't know how to set it to grunge just put the level and distortion on max and the tone to 11 o'clock.
I got this pedal for Christmas a few years back and it's been really good. I've dropped it many times and it still works great! One thing i have noticed is that the knobs tend to move easily and that can mess up the sound. What I did for that is just taped them so they stay. I also take this back and forth different places and it works fine. I set my amp on the clean channel and switch from clean to dirty with the pedal so i dont have to click the overdrive button all the time. I've got the adaptor so i dont know how the battery life is. So go buy this right now.
