Sweet Badass' Song
This pedal is exactly what MXR said it is: a pedal the faithfully reproduces late 70's hard rock crunch. Easy to get AC/DC-like crunch. BEAUTIFUL red finish. A bit lighter in terms of metal used for the pedal box but this shouldn't be an issue for anyone who respects their gear for the wonderful stuff that it is. Of course, accidents happen, but what kind of accident would dent or crush a metal box? Chalk something like that up to experience and get another one. If you like 70's Zep, BeBopDeluxe, AC/DC, and numerous chart-toppers from that era, you will love this pedal.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Impressed, crunchy distortion pedal.
I bought mine used, works great. You can get an overdrive / distortion hard rock / blues to Classic Rock sound of Bad Company guitarist; Mick Ralph, the late Paul Kassoff of Free. Close to Whitesnake's former guitarist; John Sykes (recording only of Whitesnake self title album). Bottom / Low end heavy crunch. Want mid, adjust tones on amp / guitar, or leave the wah pedal in "on" position, foot pedal forward / down. Last resorts, EQ pedal. Through a Les Paul & Fender 4x10 amp. All depends on the guitarist's preference of sound engineering. Enjoy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wide ranging overdriven tones and distortion
I absolutely love this pedal! A huge range from boost to overdrive to distortion. Not into the metal zones, but all rock and blues are possible here. Reasonably quiet for a high gain distortion pedal Works best with a tube amp/preamp

Classic Snarl & Growl
What can i say? Its a classic and for goid reason. The crunch button doesnt seem to have any effect on the sound but its great sounding regardless: especially before a bigmuff or other fuzzbox to get that perfect sound.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pedal OK
Pedal sounds good but it looks like they really started chipping out on the housing and even the switch compared to my carbon copy. We'll see how it holds up digging.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
