Budapest, Hungary. I paid 22000Ft (new)- $90 approx.

I used the Marshall valvestate's overdrive before. I wanted to achieve more like Metallica sound, so i decided to buy a distorsion pedal. I've searched internet forums what could be useful to me. (I guess a Mesa/Boogie amp :) It has an overdrive and a distorsion mode as well. I use only OD, the distorsion is too smooth for me. I got very close to that Black album sound, and that's waht is all about.

There's a little noise when it's turned on. O.k., every distorsion pedal has a noise while in use. Is it a fault or not?
I dont like that the sign on the knobs cant be seen, because the knobs reflect any lights. The sign is just a thin black line. So when I tune it, I must have a close look.

It has made of metal, very solid. Don't need to worry about breaking.

Versatile sounds, two modes. The best single OD/Dist pedal I've ever met.
