Wow thanks for the great review the pedal was on my radar I would have settled with smaller versions of their older pedals which all sound great but are just too large for my taste.

Great review, I've owned one for a while and most of your points were spot on. Only thing is a little inaccuracy on the tone knobs.
They're not High and Low, Tone 1 actually changes the frequency the distortion clips at. From the low side, counter clockwise, is a darker distortion and the high side is a more bright distortion.
Tone 2 just cuts from 0, fully counter clockwise, to -20 dB at 800 Hz. So a big scoop knob.

Mea Culpa. I missed that.
Thanks to Slend3r for bringing this point to my attention.
That being said it proves my point about labeling these dials. Note that I tested this pedal in a noisy environment on an Accoustic 15 watt amp which is not the greatest amp one can find. That being said, I don't dislike that type of testing condition because it reflects what you might experience live.
Now it makes sense why my favorite setting had the tone one at 10 o'clock (more bass) and the tone two at 2 o'clock, more mids.
It does not change my overall evaluation. It's a tube screamer and it sounds like one.
