General
Your general opinion of this product.
before buying any pedal, i'd buy this first. it works in some sense like a pedal in that you can boost output . . . the limiter seems to take some airiness out that i could see some would want and the filter on the lower noise rumble . . . seems like it acts like a compressor and or noise limiter in a certain sense. maybe compresser at top and noise limiter on bottome.
