See below for description, everything has been said.
On paper ... that's good. There are lots of things, plenty to have a whole range of distortion and OD.

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple, editing is also, we regret not being able to decrement the memory effects in the foot which is really not practical for live.
I had no need to read the manual, the product is very intuitive. I only takes 7 to the history of memories, really embarrassing for my use.

SOUND QUALITY

Bah ... we can not say it's bad, effects pedals resemble the emulated without being able to say that it is very close. It therefore lacks realism.
Maybe it's to my amp (Vox AC30) and there is "incompatibility of temper but hey, I was not seduced.
The sounds seem sorely lacking warmth.
Moreover, in distal (including mxr +), she blows one way unbearable ... much more than my other pedals analog ... say it!
To be honest I think it looks gadget. You can have a clear idea of ​​his style that we want ... if we are still looking for him. But it stops there. At home all alone again in a pinch, it can go. Live or studio, the pedal is to be avoided. But hey, is worse, eh!
But again, this is very subjective and my gear next to it is perhaps for something.

OVERALL OPINION

I had to replace my Bulldog Laché me just before going into the studio. The mag has lend me to help me ... I never got used. I used the blower tube of my bass player and really, there is no comparison. IT'S A type of OD but one that goes ... very same!
What I liked most: the bin is to browse the different types of pedal in a short time and get an idea of ​​the character of each ... but only an idea.
The least ... ben sound quality (not bad but not break bricks.
After that, I hope that my Bulldogs will finally really work well as a world separates them even if it is not the same concept (for the same purpose anyway) and at a price roughly equivalent (slightly less same price).
Idem, Jacques Tube Blower sounds far better than any available in the OD pedal.
I think for the quality achieved, this pedal is very expensive since it has better (only one or two effects of course) with the pedals mentioned.
I will not make the election again, I'll make it ... and forget ... quickly
