This review is simple and to the point. This pedal is a great foundation pedal for your effects chain. If you play the blues or classic rock and you want that 1959 Fender Bassman holy grail tone then this is it. I know because years ago I owned an original 59 Bassman. I never thought a pedal could come close to that amazing tone but this comes so close it's hard to tell the difference. Dial it in correctly and Bam there you go. It's made like a tank and the controls are very effective. Get a 18 Volt DC power supply for it and you get even more headroom and a clearer tone that way. zZounds as always is the best to deal with, period. that should have been 5 stars for sound, I miss hit the star.
