is Transparent; when engaged as a clean boost.
When used as an Overdrive, it sounds like the same guitar and amplifier, just overdriven.
Has TrueBypass.
Has alot of sustain without lots of hiss and hum.
Has an Ass control, which is not just cut or boost, but adds gain way down there in the nether region.
Has a Bite control, which if turned up above half way doesn't bite your head off. It just adds undistorted clarity to your chords and notes.
Runs on 18 volts, so as a clean boost it can put out three and a half voltsto overdrive the front of your amplifier, preferably a Talos Basic,
but any amp will sound great with this pedal.
Sounds warm and complexeven in a solid state guitar amplifier.
