Review: This is hands down the best distortion pedal i have ever played - This is hands down the best distortion pedal i have ever played, it covers everything from late 60's blues - 70's rock soft to heavy and into 80's metal I have been shredding with this thing non-stop it really is an all round rock/metal pedal bursting with classic vintage sounds.
Review: Box of Rox! - This is my new favourite box of rock. With a strat into any of my amps it does all I need - I'm learning to create tone with my fingers instead of just cranking the gain on some "metal" pedal to 11!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounding Distortion, which is built to last.
*by B***E on 31 December 2018*

Great sounding Distortion, which is built to last. It has the standard MXR design which means changing batteries are a plain, but most people use power suppliers anyway. And having a relatively small foot print is a worthwhile trade-off.
