Crushing authority
If your pedal was manufactured prior to mid-2008, you will need to check three components on the PCB to ensure correct values. I had received one which came with one Treble cap of the wrong value, and also was not True Bypass. If your pedal doesn't sound right check that they have: C 03: 0.0039u C 12: 0.001u VR 4: 10k and correct accordingly. Once this is accomplished the pedal will perform as expected. IMO it does not sound like a Marshall, contrary to what people are saying online. The CFreqs do not copy that tone stack, but are voiced as a genuine Maxon. Unlike my modified JCM2000 TSL this distortion crushes and is one fat thumper. The Gain can get extreme. I found that hooking it up to my modified Blackheart EL84 15W Head I can easily get some Boogie authority, and still maintain a sweet but agressive Treble. Pedal's a keeper.
