    Any users of this out there. The vids I have seen sound good, and I really dig dual channels with separate gain and volume. Got a good review from John K and I am pretty interested. Anyone currently or ever used one?

    It looks cool, and I like the amplike description. And a good JohnK review def counts for something.

    I have one and use it loads!
    Generally using the "brown" channel as a coloured/dirty boost, tone sweetener sort of thing - always on, and bringing some nice sparkle and mid presence to things.
    The "red" channel I then use as a higher gain, thicker distortion.
    No real low end loss at all, though can help tighten up the low end whilst retaining punch and heft, and definitely very amp like in its nature, always tonally very faithful to what you put in.
    It is tiny and has two channels, the settings are immune to being knocked whilst travelling or gigging - a real gem.

    Went ahead and bought one. Played with it for a little bit and right now during the honeymoon phase I really like it. I have never been one to want an OD on ALL the time but the brown channel is killer. I haven't turned it off since I hooked it up. It adds great presence, and I can dirty it up by how hard I play. I am still figuring out the red channel. I might just pop the cap out and make it another brown channel set to more gain.
    So far I like it better than my BBBOD clone and my Pork Loin, but take that with a grain of salt as I am still in the honeymoon phase.

    Great stuff! My honeymoon phase has been ongoing for the past few years now, so don't be surprised if it doesn't end.
