Subject:	Fantastic Sound - Really adds tube warmth.
Quality:	Very well constructed of all metal. Fit and finish are first rate. It looks like it could be a more expensive boutique pedal. You can even see a tiny bit of real tube light through the cooling slots on top.
Reliability:	So far it's pretty good. The only complaint I have is that the power adapter it came with really isn't up to the draw of the pedal. It takes about 30 seconds to provide enough power to keep the blue power light from flashing. I hooked it up to the power from my Godlyke Power-All and this solved the problem.
Overall:	Overall I love the tone I get from this thing. If is very easy to shape the sound to my liking.
Playability and Feel:	Control generally feel pretty good. The whole unit is really substantial. The main switch is a bit mushy but I don't really turn it off or on much.
Tone:	I can go from a spanky rockabilly/surf sound all the way to Bad Company style scooped overdrive. It's pretty fun to play with.
Finish:	Finish looks good. Nicely matches my tweed amp. The giant V could be deleted.
Action:	N/A
Skill Level:	Intermediate
