Well, I've finnally got my hands on one.

I'm going to do a little mini-review, but keep in mind that the amp I'm using as a power amp needs retubed badly, like to the point where it's almost microphonic.

I'm highly impressed with how tubey it actually sounds. It feels like I'm playing through a tube amp.

The way I find sounds best is to go from the preamp out into the fx return of my amp.

This pedal has loads of gain. Death metal is a piece of cake, and with my digitech bad monkey up front set as a clean boost I'm getting into Bill Steer territory.

The only things I would really change about this pedal is added resonance and presence controls like the 5150 which this pedal was made to immitate, otherwise it's a fantastic pedal that is crazy good for the money.

I love it even more now! It's crazy, crazy good. Used as a preamp is where it shines, plugged in to the FX return of the amp and into a 4x12. Just absolutely killer. I highly recommend it.

With the cab sim out into a powered (like a PA or a stereo) it sounds just as good (depending on cabinet choice of course).

The only way I don't prefer using it is as a normal distortion pedal. It just sounds less real. But if you have an amp with an FX loop you're golden!
