"Beat This!"
I'd like to see someone else try and top that.
Sound
This pedal's sound is perfect! No feedback whatsoever. I'm starting to think that BOSS stole the cicuitry straight out of the other pedals.
Features
If there were any more features, it would be a pedalboard.
Quality
Frankly, I wouldn't worry about it. You can bash it all you want to, but it's just not going to break.
Value
I don't know, which sounds better to you? $200 or $2000?
The Wow Factor
I think this pedal makes a bold statement with the color yellow, but it really hits home with the size. Not too big, not too small, and the pads on the bottom stick like crazy.
