Btw, did you use the boost mode on the Polish love? That's not fair as the boost mode isn't its specialty :/
edit:
yes bongo. |

Dist = Boost
Unlabeled and no manual, I just called it what it sounded like to me. |

The Polish love has far too much gain in there to compare it to the other pedal. Basically, it's asking the voter "Hey, do you like your normal tone with the slightest distortion and scooped mids, or do you like the distortion on this one?"
Sorry, I learned to always question the statistics of things 
edit:
same thing with challenge #1. Unfair fight!!!

Also note, no statistics were used in the creation of this post.

| | | | Wow the Polish Love sounded a lot worse than I was expected. The Penny DS-1 had tons of bass wow. Grygrx - can you post a sample of your dry tone to compare bass loss (I'm curious how much bass the Blackstone loses)? |
