    I had one a while ago and wasn't impressed at all. The pots had no range, boost was useless, and it didn't have much character to my ear. I returned it pretty quickly.

    Maybe I got a dud? I'd like to hear what you're hearing.

    On bass, the boost is useless... I agree 100% there :cool:

    But something to keep in mind with this pedal though is that it works best when pushing the front end of a tube amp. To be honest, I haven't tried it on a solid state amp for bass or guitar yet, but I expect it won't sound as good. What kind of amp were you using?

    Also, I have 1x15 and 1x12 cabs with a 3 band fully parametric EQ, so I've got an extremely full range.

    I can at least say that for guitar, it's far from dull: Jet City Afterburner Overdrive - Lead Channel Demo - YouTube

    Anyway, I'll get a video posted this week.
