Played a little over the weekend with the guitar and amp at low vol. while the fam was sleeping, but I can definitely say that this pedal is a keeper for me. Not just because it was a gift from the wif, but I think it's a good foundation pedal and I think it's gonna stack well with other pedals. With the gain at less than 12 o'clock, and similar vol, it's more like a low gain boost. Warm and just above subtle. Start to dial op the vol & gain and it starts to bring the love. I also put it after my Bass-Drive and Oh Mama! I may have found a yin to the yang. I have band rehearsal tomorrow night so I should get an idea of how it sounds through FOH.
