This is a sweet sounding pedal that will add a little to your clean tone, or grind the grit for your saturated Blues overdrive. It IS painfully simple, but it's an overdrive pedal, what more do you need. The one complaint I have is the fact that they don't include the wall wart like some other companies (Electro-Harmonix). I mean just figure that into the price for crying out loud, instead of gouging out another $20 for the wall wart. But that's it, and it's minor compared with the way it sounds, which of course is the main concern right? It's relatively inexpensive, analog, and true bypass, I think you'll like it.
