I bought this pedal at a pawn shop for $50 with an AC adaptor. It was in brand new condition.
First off, the lack of a distortion level knob is new to me. It\'s a bid odd, but the distortion level is cranked to 11 and produces a nice, tight sound. However, after a while, I didn\'t miss it. This is one serious distortion pedal, designed for guitar AND bass. The literature even suggests some alternative tunings for bass to optimize the sound, though I found it unnecessary.
The 3-band EQ on this pedal is very effective; llowing me to get a very mean growl from the low B on my 6-string and some soaring highs in the bass\' upper register.
The sustain is pretty insane on this pedal. It seems to feed back, so it keeps going long after your strings have stopped moving. I timed it at about 20 seconds when my string stopped, and the sound never stopped. I got bored after about 5 minutes of waiting for it to die and moved on.
As an added perk, when the level knob is turned all the way up, the pedal oscillates like mad on sustained notes. It has very good effect on those songs with drawn out endings.
I love it. If it were lost or stolen, I would be truly upset.
