What are the effects or types of effects available:
Famous distortion pedal, 2 modes (normal and turbo), analog I think, 6.35 + supply connections. sector.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple? yes, 3 knobs and one button settings for nomal mode or turbo.
The manual is clear and sufficient? yes, knowing that there is nothing rocket science ...... little more interesting, there has several schemes which have the pedal can "mark" its settings, it serves as a memory aid sum. Handy.

Editing sounds and effects is it easy? yes, namely between modes I and II are very different sounds, allowing a wide range.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough? I find the sound just great! I bought this pedal primarily for the sound of Nirvana (I'm a fan). I do not like the sound of the DS-1 against. I was a little afraid that this pedal I can use THAT to play Nirvana, or sounds quite aggressive, but in fact it is very versatile. With humbuckers, it's aggressive, perfect for Grunge, Metal ..... with P90, it can sound very big rock "fat", the sound is "humming" if you see it 'that I' want say ..... not bad lowering the volume of the guitar, have passed on something much softer, like "rock ballad" .... ultimately we get to make it sound as much like a big Disto aggressive than an Overdrive not too far.
Ah yes, I forgot, I use this Disto with Epiphone Les Paul Standard and Les Paul Junior (only P90).

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? 3 months

Have you tried many other models before buying it? Not bad, but many were more complicated, especially for midrange control, without being as effective .... I wanted to try the FAMOUS brand Boss, and I must say I am not disappointed!

What is the particular feature you like best and least? The pros: the simplicity of the settings, the build quality (it's Boss), the sonic versatility.
The - I do not like the normal mode, which is similar to the DS-1 .... the sound is too "muffled" and deaf to my taste ..... I almost never use this position.

How would you rate the quality / price? Very good, especially as a lot of other Boss pedals cost more in general.

With experience, you do again this choice? ... Without any hesitation! if only for THE sound of Kurt Cobain! it was my first goal, and mission accomplished!
