I had one for a while, but eventually got rid of it because I picked up a Gap Thumper in the classifieds that had been modded by Jake Kzendzkzsky to add the Swords to Plowshares mode. That was the cornerstone of my sound from 2015-2018. I eventually moved it off my board because my tastes changed, but I still think you won’t find a better pedal for playing Hobocore without getting into some serious boutique territory.

are we talking Vagrant Corpuscle territory?
 
Tried one, but it didn't have the snap and crunch tone I expected, just kinda soggy and limp sounding. I returned it (Bingo Twinkies customer service was helpful), found out later they had received a batch of over cooked parts, so that might have been the problem.

The first batch was hand painted by a blind artist who used vintage auto paints from the same batch Leo Fender used. Those have the best bottom end. The ones they are selling now are made in China out of recycled Yugos and they sound like ass.

ASS is a pretty good pedal. Some people say it stinks, but I found one on eBay and cleaned it up and it rocks. I heard that there is a new version for those who like a little edge, it’s called ASSBITE.
