Conclusion:

This is one of those effects that I really wanted to like, but ended up walking away a little disappointed.  The overdrive side does a decent tubescreamer impression, but to my ear leaves a little bit wanting.  The Qdrive side is definitely much more sonically interesting and has a lot of character to it, but ultimately ends up being a sound that I don’t like very much.  It reminds me of the bubbling gas pockets of Dagobah, and strikes my ears as a bit silly.  Its characteristic is of a fuzz and filter combined, but both on settings that I don’t like very much.  There is a lot of utility here, because each side can be used independently or combined.  This aspect should give it a little bump of versatility over a pedal like the Battering Ram, but leaves my mouth a little dry when setup next to each other.  So despite its flexible controls I’m not really sure I’d call it more versatile.

I like the humor and the ideas behind this pedal, but ultimately I find it less fun than other pedals in its class.

As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment or let me know
