Quality:
Yes, seems quality made even for a China product. If you throw it around it might suffer damage though because of obvious reasons.
Features:
Lots of great features to shape the sound of whatever instrument is plugged in. Pretty nice.
Playability and Feel:
The knobs are hard to view where they are set to. Other than that I have no complaints.
Tone:
The tone is whatever you set it to. You can make your sound fat, thin, bright or dark, & all between.
Finish:
I like the metal case and build. Not sure about others complaints but mine is fine and a few years old.
Action:
Its a great Pedal. Really gives lots of sound options, even for guitar.

Quality:
I've had the pedal for several years now. Great reliable pedal; I gig every week with it. Only complaint is the knobs, they are plastic and the top part that is glued on fell off of almost all the knobs and had to reglue. Also hard to read the knob setting because the black dot is way too small. I would suggest Hartke change to black metal knobs with white dots.
Features:
The tweakability is awesome, you can almost any tone you would want from this. The placement of the knobs don't make sense in relation to the switches.
Sound:
The tone is very tube-like, I only use tube guitar amps and this pedal warms things up just like real tubes.
Playability and Feel:
N/A that's why I gave it a 1 rating above.
Tone:
As I said, you can get whatever tone you like out of this. Just add some flatwounds to your bass and you've got a smooth Bass sound.
Finish:
Finish is nice, still looks like the day I bought it. With the humidity here in Hawaii, that's saying something.

you want control...YOU GOT CONTROL!!!
Quality:
I am a big guy and have messed up pedals in the past do to putting to much weight on them. This thing is impossible to crush. This pedal shows absolute no trace of bending or craking due to pressure. I feel this product is very reliable and made extremly well.
Features:
I love how it has a seperate on/off switch and shape switch. Very versatile and very easy to figure out. Also the recessed knobs and led lights are really nice. And the amount of knobs add alot of fine tunning options.
Sound:
I got the exact tone I was searching for with this pedal. Super clean sounds and it doesnt effect the natural tone of my bass at all when bypassed.
Playability and Feel:
This thing just felt super solid when I picked it up. The small curve where the switches are mounted add a very nice and natural feel when using it.
Tone:
Whatever I want. I can play anything from jazz to grindcore with this pedal. Wether I am in drop A tunning or standard the tonal options I have with this are a dream come true. Helps with makeing low tunning audible at high volume.
Finish:
Looks as cool as it sounds

Very Versatile Pedal
Quality:
High quality components.Solid construction.
Features:
I like all of the capabilities and flexibility of this box. There is one thing I would change though. The arrangement of the tone and volume knobs is a little annoying. They should be placed directly in front of the foot switch that operates them and they're not. That's only a minor nit though.
Sound:
There are a lot of different and usable sounds available.
Playability and Feel:
The change of sound you can get at the push of a switch is better than channel switching the amp. Great for intros, solo's and ending's.
Tone:
Variety of tones that cover all genre's. Rock, jazz, country, funk, you name it!
Finish:
Sharp looking unit!

Tone:
tone is great. only one problem. i have this pedal at the end of my signal chain, and when i tried to go straight to the board with the XLR out to my friends mixer, i started picking up a radio station somehow. used the instrument out and went to the board, no radio station. not sure whats up with that
