Ive been a punk rock and metal fan my life. Metal wise this pedal is pretty alright, but punk rock wise it's legendary. This isn't a pedal for people who want the purist and cleanest tones ever. This pedal is for people who want chords to sound huge and crunchy while having pretty good clarity. The range of tones is great! If you need another distortion pedal then just use your amps distortion.
