Thanks to Johtosotku & Pierre for pointing me in the right direction 
First I bought this pedal for $225 w 2nd day shipping from Steve's Music Center. Service was fantastic and they delivered just as planned. I would recommend this seller.
First things first. Amps used: Marshall JVM completely clean & Koch Twintone clean channel. Then OD1 on JVM and OD1 on Twintone. Guitars used: EJ strat & Charvel San Dimas w JB & 59.
Controls from left to right: Level, Tone, Bias & Gain
Tone control isn't dramatic but works as expected. The bias control is the key to using the pedal. Left to right makes the sound thicker and thicker. All the way clockwise opens the drive up and makes it very thick. I made my EJ strat single coils sound like humbuckers. With humbuckers the bias control can get too thick. I don't like the way it sounds. Past 1:00 the sound becomes overbearing to me. I like the bias at 1:00 with single coils and 10:00 with humbuckers.
I was surprised to learn that it's a very Marshally sounding pedal. The gain goes from a dirty blues sound to an all out Marshall overdrive. In fact this pedal does such a great job going from a pristine clean amp to an overdriven amp. It doesn't go from a transparent overdrive to distortion. It pretty much starts off with a little hair.
Up at 9:00 it creates a nice light overdrive that reminds me of like a ZZ Top sound. At 12:00 make a great 80's type crunch that reminds me of something like RATT. Then 3:00 is in Metallica territory. All the way up gets you fantastic metal sounds. You can probably touch on some numetal but this pedal is not for that kind of sound. You're better off with a Metal Core or Metal Zone.
So that's a pretty good assessment of the drive stages w both single coils & humbuckers. Adjust the bias and tone control a little and you can get some mad harmonics! Now moving on to a driven amp. The ReezaFRITzits does and equally fantastic job on a driven amp. I love the way it blends with the amps overdrive. It's a colored sound but it's a great color. I know it's not necessarily a "metal" pedal but with a driven amp the sound gets really brutal. Move the bias down to 9:00 w humbuckers and bam! You got a fantastic heavy metal sound.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered. Now I know I have found my sound. This is THE pedal I have been looking for for a long long time. It's that one pedal that you know immediately once you play it that it's THE one. Hope this review helps anyone thinking about getting one. Highly recommened!
