yep, i've had one for a few years now and it was a permanent fixture on one
of my fx sends, it's kind of fallen foul of MOTM fever of late, but if you
have one, and got past the crap cat & mouse analogy in the manual, then
you'll discover it's also voltage controllable...
my favourite distortion however is still currently my little (like 4" high)
replica marshall amp that only cost me a tenner - and the headphone out is
ideal for bumping up to near MOTM levels - oh, and did i mention it looks
dead cool on stage..?
cheers
