I use this pedal for home use, busking, gigs and recording. Its versatile, and lasts a long time on each battery. The dials feel good, and a small turn can affect the sound, giving you a good range of heaviness. The one downside is that the pedal feels relatively weak or breakable, which may put you off if you like to abuse your hardware. It's simple, easy to use and overall works very well. The true bypass is excellent as it doesn't interfere with your sound while not active. I mainly play rock, metal and progressive music, so at least for those genres it does everything I need.
