Kinda cool! Cheap...
Well built, with surface mount components though so no mods :(

The pedal sounds quite ok... less aggressive and mean than my old Crunchbox... closer to the Plexitone, but with a slightly different voicing. There are only level and gain controls but the pedal is well EQed.

It's not harmonically rich though...Sounds a little bland. But eh in the UK 60 pounds gets you a boss BD2. So it's not bad for the price. Looks cool and cute too!

Also it's not very bright... not totally muffled or dull, just could do with a treble control maybe?

It sounds great boosted by my Bad Monkey too, and in conjonction with my amp's drive channel.

So eh... it's a good enough pedal for the price, looks nice, doesn't take much room on your board... if you want more board versatility or a backup, smaller board it's a cool option to say, a modded DS1 or a Jackhammer/Guvnor if you want a Marshall sound :) A little more expensive, but cooler.
A Guvnor or Jackhammer has more options, but to me this pedal is funner. Really plug and play.

I'd also preffer it as buffered but eh...
