An absolutely essential pedal if you like to play metal. This pedal has been named in so many 'lists' as one of the most essential pedals of all time. It is very easy to get classic metal sounds Metallica style, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc. Classic metal tones at your fingertips for less than hundred bucks. What else could you ask for? This pedal has great sustain also, which I was looking for. I use it in combination with a delay and a chorus pedal. It improves the tone from good to great, trust me. Anyway, if you are looking at this item online, it means you want it. Just get it. You have to have it! You will also see your practice improve, because this gives you a tone that motivates you to go back to your practice room more often.
